Hard Duty: FNX-40 

The other was the good old cocked-and-locked, known in the 1911 and Browning P-35 pistols. With a few exceptions (the CZ 75 being one), you had to choose between those two or, in the last few decades, the striker-fired designs. Police departments had to choose something, and having chosen, their officers were locked out of other options. Non-sworn CPL holders had more choices, but often opted for what the local PD used.

A good idea never goes away, and in this instance we have FNH-USA to thank. The FNX-40 is not just a traditional double action, it combines that with a cocked-and-locked option, capacity, polymer and the highest of high-tech manufacture. An upgrade of, and derived from, the FNP series, it takes advantage of the extra work FNH-USA did on its .45 pistols for the U.S. Army.
