I own the FNP-45, FNX-45, and recently sold an XDm 3.8. I bought the FN's to be my bedside gun and I have only one gripe about them and that is magazine availability and price of magazines. The FN's have the softest felt recoil of any .45 I've shot and I've shot my fair share. I also really like the trigger and safety/decocker arrangement on the FN's. I own somewhere around (8) 1911's. I have smallish hands and even though the FN's look like bricks, they fit my hand just fine.
I bought the XDm 3.8 to be an alternative EDC but I simply could not shoot it accurately. I know it was me and not the gun as others could shoot it just fine. This surprised me as my EDC is a Glock 23 and I shoot it 'ok'. The recoil of the XDm 3.8 was less than I thought it would be honestly.
If you think you will be carrying IWB, then I would recommend the XDm 3.8. If on your hip, then the FNX-45.
