Hi, new member here, just got done introducing myself. I am interested in a hi-cap .45, and am really considering the FNX .45, and am looking for any information about it that I may be overlooking, or anything that sets it apart from other models. From what I understand about the FNX .45, it is fully ambi (huge for me, I'm a southpaw), holds 15+1, DA/SA, safety/decocker, and can be carried cocked and locked or hammer down (safety on or off). What I'm looking for is what sets it apart from other hi-cap .45's like the Glock 21, XD/XDm, or M&P. My intended use for it is a nightstand firearm, and woods gun. I spend a fair amount of time out in the woods, and here in SE KY, it wouldn't be unheard of to stumble on a marijuana grow operation, or even something like a bear (not saying that this is a bear defense gun, but I'd rather send something .45 at one than any of my 9mm). Some concerns that I've heard about the FNX series of firearms is that if they get too hot, the trigger quits working (or something along those lines, it doesn't want to fire), and that doing anything other than a basic field strip is very tough to do. I CC a Glock 26 and love that I can completely detail strip it. I'm not too worried about the size of it, I own a Beretta M9, and their dimensions are close enough that I think that won't be a problem.
So, to sum it up, why a FNX .45 over the other models listed?
Thanks in advance!
