The FN Forty-Nine is a recoil operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistol developed by the Belgium company of Fabrique Nationale (FN).
It uses a new improved linkless locking principle intended for police use. The gun is striker fired, and unlike many other striker-fired guns, like Glocks, Forty-Nine is a true DAO gun, with availability of re-striking the misfired cartridge simply with another trigger pull. The striker is completely at rest until the trigger is pulled, so gun is safe. Also no external safety switches are on the gun allowing for a simple to use pistol. Which also has the capacity to hold 16 rounds in its 9 mm variant and 14 in the .40 S&W variant. The frame of the gun is made from black polymer, the slide is made from stainless steel. Gun also has acessory rails on the frame under the barrel, for quick and easy mounting of the laser designators and flashlights.
