It's just so damn ridiculous looking.

I'd skip the 14 rd mag and go with the standard 10.

No.
That's why I want a FNX as well.

It's a double action only. I used to carry a shrouded hammer revolver with a 12 lbs pull. Compared to that? Butter. It has a hammer like the p250 but with a 9lbs pull. So like most dao guns the trick is the feel. There is always a point where the hammer/trigger seems to give just before release. The key is through practice to get that programmed and you are good. I just couldn't get comfortable with a striker fired pocket pistol like the nano being ready to go.
I've put 300 rounds of different weight 9mm through it with only two issues that were extended mag related. And unlike most small pocket pistols I actually like shooting it. My wife has actually shown interest in that gun. So if we go out and she likes, guess I'm getting another. It has made me regularly carry again. Easy to conceal in a pocket or iwb holster. Fits in he middle pocket of a bike jersey to, but a little heavier than similar sized guns. I suspect that is why it is easier to shoot.

I've got a 227. I love it. But those extended mags really have to be broken in. The first batch of them had a lot of problems. The second batch worked better. The beauty is all accessories like holsters are interchangeable between the 226, 220, and 227.
And like JSA, the extended mags look goofy. I only bought them for when I get back into competitive shooting. My 227 is my new 45 of choice for that. My 320 carry for 9mm comps.

It's gotten a lot easier to mount red dots on pistols. But unlike the fnx you have to remove the rear site or mill the slide. So unless you have suppressor sights you can't cowiitness. But if I recall most of these dots have etched glass that can serve as a rear sight is the dots fails.
Sig is releasing a new 330 model this year that I believe has a milled slide. It was at the shot show. Glock has ruled stock pistol class in various leagues followed by the m&p. But sig is already gaining traction and the 320 with the milled slide is trying to get the gamer market.
It took me years to finally get an optic for my rifle. Still not ready for one on my pistol.

And the winner is ...
... FNX 45 Tactical!
It's Tacti-COOL!
Went to Fletcher Arms and handled both. Yep, the FNX is thick, but just a smidge slimmer than the Glock 21. I like the trigger on the FNX and the capacity, along with the ease of installing a red dot. Now I just have to wait for my Ti-RANT to get out of ATF jail.

Cool. What you really should do is buy both.
In fact, the controls on the FNP and the sigs were identical, except the FNP had an ambi slide release. THe FNX has a safety like an H&K.

Where do you find a holster for this freaking thing??? I would prefer a drop leg holster.

Ummm, I meant to mention that. Holsters for the FN pistols are few far and between. The suppressor sights make them even fewer far and between. Especially when you are a lefty like me, so that was a big reason I didn't go with one despite handling an FN pistol every time I found myself in a gun store. With that said, I happened to see one when I bought a safariland 6004 at a store the other day for my P227 and 220 combat (same holster)

Oh, and because I couldn't find a lefty holster that would work for my 320 threaded with suppressor sights, I bought this after talking to a friend.

Yes, it looks dorky, but it quite durable and adjustable. You can rig it so you can holster a suppressed pistol in it. From what I understand, navy SEALS used a holster like this when they were issued the SOCOM pistol.

I bought that Blackhawk. I actually like it.
But, I just found this, custom for the FNX 45 Tactical, so I bought it with the leg rig.

Sorry I missed your question earlier. I was on a cruise and unwilling to pay the ridiculous price for internet access. Anyway, sounds like you made the right choice for the pistol and the Vortex red dot sites are nice. I have the Trijicon equivalent with the larger green triangle aim point since I didn't want to have any trouble finding it when needed. I also have a touch activated laser mounted on the pic rail. Regarding the grip size, I was told it was HUGE as well, but I do not have large hands and it feels fine to me. I'll have to disagree with Forge on this one and I rarely disagree with his firearm related opinions.
Enjoy shooting this badass pistol. 16 Rounds of .45 caliber stopping power....oh yeah.

If you are a Canuck that engages in gratuitous bashing of the US, you are probably on my Iggy List. So, save your self a bunch of typing a response unless you also feel the need to gratuitously bash me. If so, have fun.
