Great news on your pistol. I have to agree that the sites are top notch, and I like how the trigger feels as well. It has a smooth break and the short reset helps me allot with follow-up shots. One question though, when you lock the slide back on yours, do both levers contact the slide, or just one?
FNX-9 Range Report.
First the obligatory pic...
![]()
Went to the indoor range this morning and fired the following rounds...
5 Speer Gold Dot 115gr. jhp.
10 Hornady XTP 115gr. jhp.
25 Remington Golden Saber 147gr. jhp.
100 S&B Range Safe 115gr. fmj.
100 Federal Champion 115gr. fmj.
Total 240 rounds.
No malfunctions of any kind. It ran like the well made pistol it is.
It did take some time for me to get familiar with it, as it definitely wanted less "trigger finger" than my FNP 45 or 1911, and I do not profess to be a pistolero by any stretch. However, once I got the trigger worked out it was very satisfying. The above photo represents a full 100 rounds of the Federal Champion (same thing as Blazer Brass, from Wally World) fired at 25 feet as quickly as my Maglula Uplula would let me reload the mags. I did not rush the shots, however.
Recoil is very soft IMHO for such a light, short pistol. Certainly not as forgiving as my all steel CZ 75B, but totally comfortable and controllable.
I also must thank FNH-USA for the large, easy to pick up sights on the FNX. My 56 year old eyes are very pleased with them. They are very easy to pick up the sight picture, and that coupled with the really good grip angle and ergos of the pistol bring it on target very fast. A natural pointer, at least for me.
My verdict?
Keeper.
