I own and have owned a lot of pistols, but for some reason FN has never appealed to me and I don't know why. I did some trading yesterday and part of the deal is a FNX 9 with a FDE slide. I haven't fired the gun, but I think I will like it. It's very light for it's size, feels good and has a nice SA trigger, DA is real heavy, but I can live with that if necessary.
