The FN FNX is a family of polymer-framed, hammer-fired, semi-automatic pistols made in Columbia, South Carolina, by FN America, which sells under the FNH USA name and is a division of the Belgian maker Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal. It was introduced in 2009 as the successor to the FN FNP. The pistol uses a short recoil action in which the barrel and slide travel a long way together before the barrel drops and unlocks, which spreads recoil over more time. Because it is hammer fired it can be shot in single action or double action, and its safety, based on the safety of the M1911, lets a shooter carry it cocked and locked or use the lever as a decocker. Models are chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP, and carry a Picatinny rail, tritium night sights and a loaded chamber indicator. The source lists United States law enforcement as its users.
