I’ve owned nearly 100 pistols. This is my all time favorite shooter.

I decided to get this as my first pistol. I’m a lefty and of all the hand guns I tried out at the shop this was my absolute fave. I felt the most comfortable with the FNX so I’m happy as a first time carrier.

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing a “diamond in the ruff”. Long time fan of FN and hammer fired handguns. Another gem that you may want to look into is the Sig 2022 or the CZ P 07. Both are awesome weapons that don’t seem to get the attention as their striker fired counterparts

I also own S&W 915 & Shield 2.0, Glock 19 Taurus G2C & PT111 Pro... and the FNX-9 is my favorite as well. I've owned that for about 8 yrs now. Very accurate, reliable, feels good in my hands and to me, it just looks the best. Down side is after-market upgrades are hard to find. However, I just ordered a CAA MCK and Glock 17 to live in that chassis... so all this might change for me when these arrive. Good vid... props for this pistol is long over due.

FNH in all forms are underrated. We have a couple here, FNX9 and FNS40 both great pistols. Those magazine springs are STOUT. I love that the FNX can be carried condition 1 as well as DA/SA.

I have an FNX-45 and I absolutely love it...so I got one of these to match and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I love the feel, the sights, and the trigger...but it's got an awful lot of muzzle flip for a 9mm. I shot it side-by-side with my FNX-45 and the muzzle flip on them felt almost the same. Compared to an M&P9 or G34 it feels like you're shooting a .40! That being said after a bit of getting used to it, it shot very well. It's definitely the best option out there for a DA/SA polymer pistol.

Even though I don’t use the saftey can always appreciate a pistols with one

I’ve got one and love it. Only problem I’ve ever had with it is because of the stout recoil spring. This caused failure to lock open on last round with my original hand loads.

If this had the same tactical model like the 45, I would buy it..

Totally agree ! I love mine !

I have a FNH FNX 45 tactical but I also own a FNX 9. Yes the 45 has the ability to run all the bells and whistles and I do use it for range shoots. But everyday carry is the FNX 9 . The love the DA/SA sidearms. I also still own a 3rd gen Smith the 5906 . Like I said the DA/SA pistols are what I am most comfortable with Sig p229 and so on. The only striker fire pistol I own is a 3rd gen Glock G20. At the time I felt it was the best choice for 10mm. Anyway I went off topic. The FNX 9 is more than combat accurate and it is easy to field strip and maintain . Everyone who has handled this firearm has fallen in love with it. I also purchased the FN/ Galco leather paddle holster which completes it. But once you add a taclight you almost have to go with Kydex which I really do not care for.

My wife and I bought an FN FNX-9 for each of us and we love them!

This was my first gun. I've shot a few hundred rounds with no malfunctions and basically limp wristing it. Gonna get a cz P10F or C soon and go to the range with both with proper locked wrists to see how hard I can push it. Gonna be a hoot if I actually prefer the fn for it's super quick sa trigger

Wow I had no idea these existed, I need it in FDE

Live in the Seattle area and have tried tirelessly to find one in the local shops here. They're basically nonexistent here, I have its big brother the FNX45 Tac, If you all know a shop that carries them where you are I have no problem buying out of state just to get ahold of one.

I'm not sure how many of these they sell, and the FiveSeven has been around forever and seemingly only fills a niche market, but it's kind of a bummer when you get a pistol you end up really liking and the manufacturer discontinues it.

Great deal. Hope you are enjoying it

Does this shoot similar to the fnx 45 tactical? I love that trigger and recoil and everything. Might want to buy this as well if similar or same

I think what folks mean by _"it doesn't have a good trigger"_ regarding the FNX9 is the longer trigger pull. I dislike long trigger pulls too just because it slows up you fast shooting ability. But this is just a guess as *_"a good trigger"_* is very subjective to the individual & organization (example: police like long & heavy triggers for safety, Cowboy action shooter like "hair" triggers, the military like two stage triggers on their M16/Ar-15, etc.). God bless *EDIT* BTW: My brother just bought (March 2021) the newer *FN 509* _without a manual safety/de-cocker_ I think that is what most folks are buying over the older but similar FNX9.

It is a great gun but the biggest gripe I have on it is the recoil spring. It’s really heavy, compared to other 9mm handguns. FN would have made a small fortune if they would have offered a FNX-9 tactical on release

I love mine ,used $499.the gerson was brand-new was hanging up so I traded it for my FNX,hit everything I shoot at

its nice firearm.im trying to complete the set

That’s a beefy gun, looks like a great owb duty gun.

definitely on my buy list I wish FN would do a 509 up date with it standardize the mags with their striker pistols up date the plastic trigger with a metal one and maybe knock 2lbs off the double action or maybe do a LE version like the HK p30

CZs are very addictive

I bought the FNX-9 new in 2014. It was defective with the double action trigger often failing to fall forward. See other KZread videos "double action trigger heat problem" and "will not fire in double action". I discovered the problem before firing a single box of ammo. I contacted FN customer service and they denied such a problem existed even though there were youtube videos demonstrating the problem. They agreed to repair it but it required the hassle and expense of shipping the gun prepaid to Arnold Mo. Then they made me pay misc, postage-Ins- handling to get the gun back. It cost me a small fortune to have them fix their mistake. I received it back with a different trigger problem. When I rack the slide or release the trigger safety it makes a loud clicking sound when you touch the trigger. After that, the trigger functions reliably with an awful spongy trigger pull as you demonstrate in the video. I get angry every time I look at my gun collection. My most expensive gun it a lemon.

If you're carrying cocked and locked, does the safety/decocker lever prevent itself from going into the full decocking stroke when flipping the safety off?

@ShootWellAndOftenSWAO

You have to depress it pretty significantly for that to happen. So just carrying it in a holster would be safe. Drawing the gun and releasing the safety takes a deliberate action. With training should be no issues. However when shooting the gun you may need to experiment with your grip. I placed my thumb under the deckocker/safety the first time and accidentally lifted up causing it to engage the safety enough to kill the trigger. But I know better now.

Great review. The FNX high on the list along with H&K's USP 30 LEM V.1. I suspect the FNX will come first. H&K is a bit to pricey at the moment. Not shooting anyone or anything you do not intend to shoot is Not the function of any safety from Glock's "Safe Action" through variations of 1911 'Cocked & Locked" or any variation of DA/SA. Not shooting anything or anyone I do not intend to shoot is a function and the purpose of my Brain Cells. Semi-Auto pistols made since 1980 (and most before then) simply will not discharge unless the trigger is pressed all the way through the firing sequence. Safeties are to prevent the trigger from being pressed all the way through the firing sequence. Period. That is All they are for and that is all they do. With quality firearms, there really is no 'Best' pistol. There are ones I Like Best & there are those I Like Less. My CZ's aren't "Better" than my Sigs or Glocks I just Like them Best. Over the years I've had many different kinds of pistols. Right now I favor DA/SA semi automatics. I like putting my thumb on the hammer when I re-holster. If the hammer moves, something is wrong. So I stop. No one wants Glock leg

I agree the CZ is a bit better. The biggest difference for me is the recoil spring. The FNX has a heavy recoil spring. I also like the height over bore on the P07, but it is less to grab onto. It also has a slightly shorter grip, compact vs full size. But you can still get a 17 round mag for the P07 if u want. Better market for the CZ to as FN has generally moved on from the FNX line.
