Baltimore Co.

[Kirk Freeman]

Baltimore County, Maryland discovers the problems in the FNS pstiol. I find it astounding that the coppers were not doing these tests during evaluation/testing. Perhaps I should not be.

Guns can fire without fingers on triggers? How odd. Too bad no one has spoken out about this fact . . . oh, wait, I did. Hundreds of times.

Eez gon, eez not safe. Be advised.

Wow

As soon as I started reading some of these issues out there with the FNS-40, I traded mine for a Gen2 G22. Haven't looked back.

I have a good friend on that department, and he said that the issue has been well known for some time, and they hate their FNS pistols. I’ve shot his, and even aside from the safety issues, the trigger is absolutely terrible.

He mentioned that the officer responsible for outfitting them with those pistols now has a nice job working for FNS.

Hopefully you alerted the new owner to the issues as well.

Amazing

I’ve seen them pretty cheap used. Glad I passed

Is the FNX series significantly different where it wouldn’t be subject to the same malfunctions?

Striker vs Hammer fired

I'm glad I watched that video. I recently saw an ad for police trade-ins of this weapon. The price made it tempting to order one. I'm sure glad I didn't.

Thanks. The only FN I own was probably made in the 30’s.

Funny how that happens on occasion, Indiana isn't immune from this coincidence.

I'll stick to my hammer fired guns... just as John Browning intended.
