The FNP-45 is DA/SA with an ambidextrous decocker located where the 1911 safety is. Think of it as a SIG but with the decocker in a different location. There is a future model, I think called the FNP-45 USG, that combines the decocker lever with a manual safety, but it's not out yet. I own both an FNP-45 and a Glock 21SF, and the FNP grip circumference is smaller (although its capacity is 14+1 vs 13+1 for the Glock), it is more accurate and more controllable than the Glock, and it comes standard with three magazines. Field stripping is similar to a SIG (meaning you don't have to dry fire it to field strip, like you do with a Glock). Actually, if you think of the FNP-45 as a SIG slide atop a polymer DA/SA frame, you'd be pretty close to the mark. FNH has designed a winner, but it definitely does not have a manual safety, just like SIG.
