The FNX is rather neat, I own an FNX-9 myself, and love the fact that like an H&K USP you can carry cocked and Locked (1911 style), Decocked, or Decocked and Safety on. This allows the firearm to enter markets served by 1911 manufacturers, Sig Sauer, Beretta, and others without having to retrain the user too much while allowing them to transition back to their older firearms with ease. The fact it is 100% ambidextrous is a big plus as well. When you consider all of those factors you can tell that FN intended to market this firearm as a duty gun to law enforcement, while providing the general market a rather capable firearm for self defense and competition use.

There is only one other line of DA/SA firearms that I truly like, and that would be most of the Sig P22X series. My .45 Caliber P220 is a single stack but I'm ok with that, while my P226 is a Double stack. You don't get the safety function on the Sigs but then again they were on the market before the idea of a combined decocker/Safety was widely accepted.
