Starting from the ground up serving parts and accessories to consumers, Faxon jumped into the pistol arena in January 2019 with the launch of its first, complete handgun — the FX-19. Available in two models, Patriot and Hellfire, the FX-19 series comes stacked with Faxon parts offering a custom look right out of its hard-sided box.
Both pistols bring a Faxon PF490C frame with 1911 style grip angle, extended mag release and custom polished slide and rails. The slides themselves are machined in house at Faxon and bring an optic cut for Trijicon RMR or Holosun SO7C optics. The Patriot sports a Faxon Match Series G19 barrel while its counterpart the Hellfire comes with a threaded Faxon Match Series G19 barrel. Additionally, the Hellfire offers suppressor-height night sights and an enhanced low-profile magwell.
Curt Staubach, Director of Marketing for Faxon Firearms, told Guns.com in an interview that each little feature integrated into the pistols’ design brings a whole new aesthetic to the platform.
