Going by its specs, I really want to like pistol,butI've seen it only in pictures. The safety lever seems awfully far forward to me. How do you find it to operate?

I have short fingers, going by the pictures I am not sure that my thumb would reach the safety. That would be a big drawback, deal killer really. Along with the price of the gun and price of the ammo.

I have the FiveSeven and an SBR'd P90 and the controls are different and took some getting used to, however easy to use once you learn.

But then I considered the cost of ammo, availability (at the time), price of gun, unorthodox safety (at least for me, plus I prefer no extra widgets in my carry rig)...in short, I saw no reason to switch from my 9mm +p from any of my carry guns, Sig p226, G19, G26, H&K usp9c....


Fine pistol and round, but if I want more speed then my 9mm, I'm going for either 5.56 or 7.62x.39. After all, handgun for me is just a substitute until I can get to any of my rifles. And nine is just fine. My $.02.

I have a couple of the FNX handguns. I thought I would hate the heavy checkering on the grips, but I found it really wasn't an issue when shooting at least for me.
