Now that we have several 200-grain SD loads for the .45, I’ve been shopping for this SA/DA pistol, especially the tactical version - with a good suppressor - for home defense. Considering its $900.00 - plus price, any advice or pros-and-cons would be welcome. KURT

I like my FNX.45 tactical! Even more since I put a can on it 
I’m not a gun tuber, so my opinion is next to useless….
Pros;
1911 style controls and ergonomics
15+1 capacity
Factory threaded barrel and high sights to see over a can
Thumb safety also serves as decocker, push up for safe, push down from fire to decock.
SA/DA trigger, decock, holster, draw, and squeeze.
Cons;
Trigger leaves a lot to be desired vs a true 1911
Factory grip stippling is pretty aggressive without gloves
Double stack grip is pretty thick, not really a con if you’ve got bigger hands 
Top heavy, when fully loaded with 15 rounds it’s balanced nicely…. When the mag is empty the polymer frame feels hollow and the recoil changes.
