FNH’s latest striker-fired pistol is also their longest: the FNS-9 Competition Longslide. The fully-ambidextrous FNS-9 (there’s a new FNS-40, too) is available with or without a manual safety. Belgium’s best features a cold hammer forged barrel and interchangeable backstraps. For the thick end of $850, buyers get their choice of a black or stainless slide, Dave Sevigny-designed night sights (which we loved) or fiber optic front sights so bright Santa could have dispensed with that red-nosed freak. If the FNS-9 Competition Longslide shoots as well as it feels then, to quote Nina Simone, I’m feeeeeling good. A look at the other side on the other side of the jump . . .
