Brought it home, put the 804 trigger in it. Oiled it up-Ran 300 rounds of fiocchi 115 g , not one issue. The 804 trigger allows the mag to fall freely. $330 out the door $65 for the trigger. And now magazines are readily available for $17 at some places. So far so good.
Got one at a pawn shop for $200 with the 804 trigger , even compared it to some glocks in store and the fmk felt wayyyy better , I ran federal ammo also Winchester hasn’t jammed on me💯
I bought a new Citadel Centurion CP9 9mm pistol about 3 months ago at a local gun shop for $289 that came with one 14 round magazine and the instruction manual and it came in the same size cardboard box, not to mention, the Citadel Centurion CP9 is identical to the FMK 9C1 G2 9mm pistol, including all the specifications, and the color of the pistol thats shown in this video, also, the 14 round magazine that came with my Citadel Centurion CP9 had the letters FMK engraved on the bottom of the magazine, since then, I ordered two 14 round magazines for the FMK 9C1 G2 pistol and both have worked flawlessly in my Centurion CP9. Legacy Sports International out of Reno, NV are the manufacturers of the Citadel Centurion CP9, they also make a 1911 9mm and 45 cal pistol, AR's, and various types of shotguns. I've owned and have handle many brands and types of pistols in my lifetime, but I've never had a new out of the box stock pistol that fit and felt so good in my hand as this Citadel Centurion CP9 does, it has the Glock 19 sights, the 804 single stage trigger, the slide locks open after the last round is fired, and it's basically a clone of the Glock 19 G3 9mm pistol, the accuracy is pretty much dead on at 25 yards, I've had so far two jams out of 250 rounds from the start, since then I've tore the pistol down, cleaned and oiled it and it shoots much smoother, regardless of make or grain of ammo. I was considering ordering the Palmetto State Armory designed 9mm pistols until I accidentally saw the Centurion CP9 for about the same price and I thought to myself this gum shop wouldn't be selling these pistols if they wasn't a good buy, so I pulled the trigger and bought it, now I'm glad I did.
The trick is with FMK from doing my research and buying my own before I even fired it I disassembled and cleaned the firearm depending on your climate oil or grease it and give it a good 100-200 racks really get those parts moving then go out and test fire and see what happens I shot all the ammo they say it doesn’t like on the FMK website Steel case aluminum case Winchester white box Turan ammo all types of ammo and it hasn’t jammed not once and I’m probably close to 500 rounds now
I have one, with the engraving on it, highlighting the 2nd Amendment. It came in a hard case, with two locking locations and custom padding cut to fit to carry an extra mag, magazine loader, and a box area for a box of ammunition or so, depending on how big the box of ammo is. Got it around '18. Mine also came with an extra magazine for around $370+theft (I mean tax). My mags unfortunately do not drop free freely. They need to be coerced out about a 1/4 their length before they free up. The release pushes it a little, but it doesn't quite get it to drop. Requires about 100 rounds to ensure you get through its break in period without having non-operator related malfunctions. Those are minor. Stove pipe here, failure to feed there. Get past the 100 rnd. hump and you're gold. [Edit: I also forgot to add that I appreciated this review, with an honest take, with a viable (almost) apples to apples comparison with the Glock. Given that comparison, it highlights where FMK need to improve. Anywho, I enjoyed your balanced take on this, I've seen a lot of people dismiss it outright as trash because of a couple early failures. It's a truism not just for guns but for anything mechanical; They need time for all the parts to settle and find their 'groove' so to speak. Some find it quicker than others, and your experience with Glocks make them sound almost perfect, haha! But great review, I appreciate the fairness. God bless you and yours, America, and this Republic we are in a fight to save.]
Your spot on in regards to the break-in period. after about 200 rounds mine is doing great with no problems. Thats saying something as its still in my collection. Happy shooting
I have the exact model you do, even with the 804 FAT trigger pack... Ensure you put ample lube (heavier than oil) on the rails and in the channels of the slide (you will see the shiny spots where slide rubs) [I got that gun lube from orilleys] You can use XD9 9mm mags but you have to cut the mag release notch in it with a dremel [the 16 round mags will stick out the bottom a bit]
Well mine came in a really nice black case,2 magazines ,some oil full owners manual. The case even has 2 places to install locks for safety. The top of the case is designed for you to be able to clean your gun on it. Very nice in my opinion.
I just bought mine today & the only issue i'm having with it is racking one in the chamber. Any tips on how to fix that? When loaded,it fails to properly feed.
Sorry pal. FMK can not possibly come even closer to Sniper Grade. 30ft test showed spread of 1 ft and I had a eject and double feed issues on each of my 4 10 round mags. With my Beretta 92FS Italian Version I have grouping of 1 inch by bulls eye of the target with no issue what so ever. 400 rounds later- same thing. Oh I see! You say Sniper Gray, not Sniper Grade. Color is no concern of mine. Accuracy and flawless action is.
Do you know if this has the older DAO 316 trigger in it, or the newer FAT 804 trigger? Apparently the 804 is an improvement. But, if it is the 804 and you’re not enjoying it, I may have to consider another budget gun. The ones I see listed (for example, on Impact Guns) say they have the FAT, but, again, if the FAT isn’t much better, I’m not interested.
I own clock pistol jams all the time bought fmk 9mm I came in a case not cardboard box and it’s flawless and very on target so I think your full of crap
"Proudly made in America", but still a lot of problems after, what, 13yrs of trying to figure out what is really wrong. Looks like a Ford, trying to beat Toyota forever, but does not come close when it comes to reliability. Sad when we put "Proudly American Made" and does not function as it should. "Glock killer", really?

My super budget option was minus all of that except the gun and one mag.

Great Firearm! I own 2 & would buy another with NO Hesitation!!

They also sold mines in cardboard box but I got the 2021 version that just came out

Im not sure, I will have to check that out and get back with you. The trigger as it is isn't too bad.
My FMK a box no case one mag
yup just like mine
I paid $220~ for mine in the cardboard box back when they came out with the new 804 FAT trigger in the cardboard box
I need more information from liger 9 c1 Elite 9mm
where is the safety trigger im getting mine in a couple of days
Looks nice. Is it a soft shooter?
Yes it is an accurate soft shooter.
Looks like a cz p10c kinda
No, looks like a Glock 19 gen2. Few differences like Grip hump, trigger guard shape but it is pretty close copy.
well glad your worked better than mine cuz FMK IS GARBAGE
Palmmeto stole your hard case and extra mag lol😂😂😂
yeah no doubt. lol
Nice
Where can I get one from
gunbuyer.com
Can the magazine release be reversed for lefties?
yes

It’s the owner not the gun. I’ve had mine since 2016, put upwards of 4,000 rounds through it n it’s fine.
You must be driving a 1982 Toyota. I go to shooting range in My F150.
