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
The FN looks great but like you mentioned I picked up certified Sig 2022 in 40 cal and it is a very nice gun. I got it about 2 months ago and very pleased with that firearm. This FNX looks like a winner.
I agree that it is a underrated pistol. I always come back to shooting it over and over. It is a BillyGoat of a pistol too. It never has a problem cycling ammo. Glad you enjoy it !
I absolutely love mine. It is a combat gun........ ready for the zombies. My biggest sell is, DA/SA and being a Southpaw.... Ambidextrous controls. Very underrated.
@@chriscoston8601 These are probably the best value option for lefty's like myself, to have all the bells and whistles with no weird ergonomic adaptation we have to remember in a high stress situation.
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 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.
Great honest review. Thank you for preparing and sharing with us FN fans. I want one of these pistols as well. Big fan of FN. Grew up hunting with Browning shotguns and rifles.
I've been a Sig Sauer guy my entire life, and also shot Sigs in the service. My friend finally convinced me to give FNs a shot and this is what I got. Let's see what the fuss about FNs is all about 👍 Good video.
I appreciate your analysis. I own this FNX 9. I put Trijicon HD night sights and a Talon grip on mine, and like it very much. I still like the FNP as well, even though the FNX is supposed to be an improvement. This gun is loaded with features and a pretty good value for what you get
Great review, I picked one up the other day and it's a sweet rig. Very underrated.. looks great and feels great I actually prefer the double actual single action and I feel like the safety is a bonus a lot of people don't like it I feel like it's a little bonus
Good review. I own the FN509 Tactical, and use it for my bedside gun. It is decked out with a light, suppressor, and red dot. While I do love it, I prefer a hammer pistol, which is where this beauty comes in. I love it. I own the 9mm and the 45 tactical and adore them all!
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.
Good video. I've looked at these over the years and have thought about giving them a try because of the features this gun has, but my biggest concern is whether or not FN will continue to make them. 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.
dexm2010 It’s hard to tell what these companies may do. They will honor the warranty and should be able to service their guns even if discontinued. At least for awhile.
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. Just thought I'd throw that out and see if I can find one. Great video btw.
Autumn of 2024 as I post. I've never been a 9mm fan. The ammo is mostly lousy, especially in short-barrel carry pistols. And I don't trust pistols with just a trigger safety. I bought an FNX-9 this summer, and mated up Freedom 135 grain flat nose ammo. Last week, fired two mags rapid fire at seven yards, all head shots with one near miss. I've never been able to get a 9mm anywhere close to that. This is a very well designed da/SA pistol that is reliable, lightweight, safe to carry, and 4" barrel gives ammo enough velocity to perform well. The cons are an extremely heavy da trigger pull, over 11-lbs on mine, and costly to work on or change parts. For example, a gunsmith wouldn't quote a trigger job except by the hour, and warned it could be as much as the gun cost. Apparently, FN's are more complex and difficult to work on than most brands. If you can live with a heavy da trigger, there really is only positive things to say about thisodel.
It’s a problem that I found pretty quickly. FN does not support guns that they have discontinued very well. The one place they partnered with to sell their parts have virtually nothing. Once it breaks or wears out it’s pretty much done. You can still get recoil springs for now.
@@ShootWellAndOftenSWAO I didn't know they had discontinued the FNX9. It's an excellent pistol. I don't know why they never promoted it. They could have promoted it and the FNX45 as a set.
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
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.
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
This was my first pistol, and I carried it years. I sold it last summer because I bought 3 variants of the FN 509, but now I really miss it. You said you got a great deal. Where did you get it and how much was it?
@@ShootWellAndOftenSWAO thanks. Great price. I bought it for 650 when it first came out. Thanks. I may just pick up another one. Never mind, all sold out.
The biggest point of the FNX: weight. The FNS is heavier and the 509 are even heavier than the FNS. I don’t know why no one is talking about FN handguns getting fat.
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
Shoot Well And Often. SWAO! I know I wouldn’t I own a fnx45 and a fns9 ,, just not in the budget right now and I need a pocket 9 for the next pistol I buy
The only problem I have with the striker-fired versions of the FN is they have a horrible trigger if they lighten the trigger like a PPQ or a CZ P10 I wouldn't own any other pistol
I bought the FNX-9 new in 2014. It was defective with the double action trigger often failing to fall forward. See other UA-cam 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.
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 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?
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.
Do you know if this is compatible with 509 mags I was thinking that if it were I could grip chop it to compact size and use 509 mags and have an FNX 9 compact
I like this firearm, the only downside of this pistol is that the interchangeable backstraps tend to shift down while shooting. Very annoying. The feature set offered on this pistol is amazing. It was the original 19X. The frame is the same size as a G17 and the slide the same as a G19. All controls are ambidextrous.
Davis Dunn the mag pack? What I found was just someone selling 3 mags on gunbroker for a good price. I also saw others listed there for a good price. You just have to search through the listings to find the good deals.
I may be CZ bias. I like the grip texturing much better on the FN but love the way a CZ feels in the hand. I like the placement of the controls better on the P07. The triggers are much different but very good.
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. They really missed the mark by not offering a FNX-9 tactical
I’ve heard people say that and I’ve always wondered if they’ve only shot a few pistols and therefore say that or if the FNX 45 is actually that good. I just got the fnx 45 tac a few weeks ago and it is now my favorite pistol to shoot by far .. most likely of all time 😆 now joining the club and will spread the word to fellow gun nuts
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

Obviously the fnx 40 is going to be snappier... but is it a huge difference from the fnx 9mm for being a compact size?!?!

Glock triggers are good. It’s all about preference.
My new rabbit hole brand
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.).

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
It's a shame these didn't take off. They kind if reimagined it with the 509 and marketed it a lot better. I prefer the FNX.
I love it too it’s the price that holds it back in my opinion but it did turn me on to CZ’s because of the price
CZs are very addictive

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.
They really missed the mark by not offering a FNX-9 tactical
If it had an optics cut that would be the perfect carry gun for me. My FNX 45 is my absolute favorite pistol of all time.
I’ve heard people say that and I’ve always wondered if they’ve only shot a few pistols and therefore say that or if the FNX 45 is actually that good.
I just got the fnx 45 tac a few weeks ago and it is now my favorite pistol to shoot by far .. most likely of all time 😆 now joining the club and will spread the word to fellow gun nuts
@@worldwide1873 Hell yeah man, ive must of shot them all but there is just something magical about the fnx45. Welcome brother
Seem like u have great prices on firearms can I have the store fb or website? Accurate inventory?
It's a nice gun I just wish the back straps fit securely
I shot my friends fnx 45 and the trigger ruined all my pistols for me so i think I found my new 9mm thanks for making this
Can you put a red dot sight on this gun?
LOVE THIS PISTOL (FNX 9mm)
... I have a few Pistols and FNX (FN) is my FIRST Grab!
How can you find the manufacturing date code on a FN pistol ? I just picked one up and was wondering when it was made .
You have to call FN directly and give them the serial number. They answered right away and I had my answer in less than 2 minutes.
its nice firearm.im trying to complete the set
I've been looking for this pistol and seems like it's rare. I want it just because it has the DA feature.
Order one from an FFL...Available.
I have the 9 and the .45 and love them both
This is the perfect gun for you because the trigger is ambidextrous...
I had one of these that I sold. I want another one
If they would just take this exact gun and give it that fnx 45 make over...FN, please hear us
I had to get 2... I have the all black model and the silver slide model
Of course
Pistolet shume e mire dhe e bukur.
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 as mine is a very sweet shooter.
Men!!! behind the spring I can see a spider !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FNx are good.. fns have had their issues, my local police department dropped the FNS last year due to it having a chance to fire by itself
Glad I sold my FNS a long time ago. The mags were also super $$$. The only thing I miss is the awesome grip texture!
Fact
I LIKE MINE AS MUCH AS MY 1911 AND FAR MORE THAN ANY GLOCK., ALL IT COULD USE IS TRITUM NIGHT SIGHTS AND THREADED BARREL IMO
I like 1911 and Glock above ANY FN
ลำกล้องยาวเท่าไหร่ เพื่อน
I don’t know what you said but thanks for watching
Where you @how much
This was purchased locally for $400
Long sold out of them now
FN needs to keep up with the times. 10mm, 357 Sig and 5.7x28 are the calibers of the future. 9mm, 40 and 45 are relics of the past.
A friend of mine just got one of these. I don't like that plastic safety.
It may not be for everyone. Cheers
Yes MY Next
I hope you found one.
Regret selling mine at least once a week
