Does any have one of these? How does it shoot? What are the pros and cons? My EDC is a G19. I was looking to add another pistol to my arsenal. Thanks in advance.

I shot a friends FNS-9 a few weeks ago in TN. My impression, very well made pistol, nice fit and finish, very accurate, reliable.
I'm a 1911 guy so the ergonomics weren't what I'm comfortable with, but are similar to other modern polymer pistols. The trigger was fairly smooth and broke between 6.5 and 7 pounds. Odd for a striker fired pistol it had 1911-esque(long)take up/pre-travel and just a smidge of what I'd call creep. Reset was reasonable and follow up shots were quick. Recoil was negligible.
All ammunition used were John's reloads at +P. 3 shooters went through 250 rounds. I shot standing isosceles grip at 7 and 15 yards, from a bench with a bag at 25 and 50 yards.10's most X's at 7 and 10's at 15. At 25 and 50 I had a little trouble with point of aim/point of impact, I had to hold down and left to find the target. Whether that was my eyes(tri-focals)or the gun, I'm not sure, probably me. Once I found where the bullets wanted to go, I had no problems hitting the round 8" shoot-n-c's.
The FNS-9 was the most consistent, accurate polymer gun I've shot. Hands Down.

My EDC is an fns-9. I've been extremely happy with it and have a few thousand rounds through it and have abused it quite a bit. Very reliable and accurate with very little recoil. I'd def try one out if you can, I have yet to find anything I prefer over it for an EDC.

Had the FNX-9 and thought it was an excellent gun, I'm sure the FNS is as well.

The only disadvantage that I see is trying to purchase a good quality holster.

Surprisingly not at all. HSP Incog which IMO is the best IWB holster i've found has an FNS-9 version.
