I've had my FS 45 for about 3 years now. It was made in 2015.
It has always run perfectly with any factory ammo I tried. I had a few FTF's with handloads for the first few hundred rounds, but once the gun "loosened up" it hasn't happened again. In those instances, it wouldn't quite go all the way into battery. Bumping the rear of the slide would lock it into battery.
Mine has night sights and is my go-to nightstand gun.

Similar story: I've had mine for a just over two years. I don't have more than maybe 300 rounds through it, with a variety of ball ammo and JHP, but it's never failed to feed, eject, or go bang when it was supposed to. Mine also has night sights. Plus an Inforce APL. Mine is also my nightstand gun.

Ditto for me as well. Mine was one of the first listed on GB, from a local dealer. It's a FS,shipped May 2015. Low round count, estimate around 400. It's been flawless with factory Federal and Remington, as well as my own reloads, some of which have been 185 gr XTP.
Of my other .45 Auto pistols, which include P220 Sport, P245 and Ruger SR1911, it gets it's share of range time. Just don't shoot much .45 anymore.

I've got both a .45 and 9mm P320 in full size purchased new. Trouble free since day one for both. The .45 has about 1500 rounds through it and the 9mm has about 3000 rounds through it. Eats any practice ammo and never had an issue with HST's either. Solid reliable firearms IMO.

I Picked up a used full size P320 45 locally. I am sending it in for the upgrade and the previous owner reported some extraction issues so I am going to get the extractor replaced too.
While out I also picked up a p220 sas carry dak. Looks like I am going to have to pick up some more 45 ammo
