The FN Herstal FNX pistol is a series of semi-automatic, polymer-framed pistols manufactured in Columbia, SC, by FNH USA, a division of Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal.[3] The pistol is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W cartridges.

Standard Features

All variations of the pistols include ambidextrous safety/decocking levers, magazine releases, and slide stops.[4] All variations also include a Picatinny accessory rail, fixed three-dot combat sights, and a loaded chamber indicator on the right side. New models are sold in a plastic hard case with three magazines, and a total of four interchangeable backstraps.

Field stripping is accomplished by locking the slide to the rear, rotating the takedown lever clockwise ninety degrees and releasing the slide stop while carefully allowing the slide to be pushed forward out of the frame. The barrel and recoil spring then separate from the slide to complete the disassembly procedure.

Variants

As of the beginning of 2012, FN Herstal produces no variants of the FNX pistol.
