I'm thinking about buying a 40 caliber FNH for home protection.

Is there a particular reason you are choosing 40? 9mm, 40, and 45 all pretty much do the same thing so I usually suggest 9mm first since it's cheapest to shoot and holds the most ammo. But if you already own a 40 I can understand keeping ammo consistent.

I've read good reviews, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. Good gun or should I keep shopping around?

FN makes some amazing handguns. I've had my eyes on the FNS9 for a while but just don't have the money or reason to purchase right now. It's gotten stellar reviews and people love the trigger. I can personally say I have not felt a lockup on a barrel of a polymer gun that slams shut quite like an FN. It's like closing the door to a vault.

I've shot the fns 40 a few hundred rounds I'd say. Great gun. Trigger is horrid. Fnx in 9 or 45 makes a lot of sense to me. All my carry stuff is 9mm but I'm partial to .45 especially if you can get a ton of rounds out of it like the fnx mags offer.

I own three FN pistols which are all great guns. My FNX 45 is an awesome large 45 handgun. It's super accurate and reliable. I also have a FNS 9 and FNS 9 Compact. My wife uses the FNS 9 compact for conceal carry and she loves it. She also shoots it way better than all my other pistols. My FNS 9 is also a great gun which I carry occasionally in the winter months with heavier clothing.

FN now makes most of our weapons in the Army and they've been around forever with a great reputation. Overall it's a solid purchase.
