I like my FNX 9, but I would like a different trigger in it to take away the long trigger pull does a company make a trigger for it I’m fine with the hammer unit in it just want something to take the slack out.

Are you talking about the long trigger pull when taking the first shot in double action? My FNX9 has a very good and short trigger on follow up shots in single action (or if hammer is pulled back manually), but the double action pull is long. I think it might just be the nature of the double action and a hammer fired gun, but maybe there is someone else on here who has done some work on the trigger assembly to help with that initial pull.

Hopefully somebody else will chime in, but I think that is just the nature of the DA/SA pistol. I have only ever shot 1 other (besides my FNX9 and FNX45) and that was a Sig P226. That same long pull was present on all 3 during the DA shot. The advantage is that you typically get a very nice SA trigger pull as you are not doing the half cock action like on a lot of striker pistols.

At least with the FNX9 you have the option to carry it with the hammer cocked and the safety on. You can also train to pull the hammer back as you draw from your holster, so that it does not add to your first shot on target time.

Yeah I know the DA is always long, but I was just curious about taking some of the take up away I mean my P07 has a similar trigger, but I can switch out springs and polish it and on the P30/VP9 you can switch out the trigger face for one with less travel like a lobo or a lazy wolf which reduces travel by 30% I hope someone knows of something like that even cause I like my hammer hitting as hard as it is and if I reduces the trigger pull it will reduce the force the hammer exerts making the gun less reliable in adverse conditions.

I dont believe this is a path that's been traveled before with the FNX. I also am skeptical that a trigger shoe would change the length of trigger pull - geometry & pivot point would be the same. Since it's a pivoting trigger you can place your finger higher on the trigger for less travel, but comes with less leverage.

The solution here is to keep the pistol in Condition 1. The full trigger disconnect safety is neat.

I've got a FNX45 tactical and it has the long trigger pull on the D/A pull after that the trigger is very nice. on my two Sig P220's I found a company called Grayguns that I got there straight flat triggers and had those added to the Sigs with Sigs short reset trigger kits and those made a difference on the first pull. I asked Grayguns if they made a trigger like for the Sigs and they don't. heres a picture of the one Sigs

I’m tentatively looking at collecting a batch of FNX trigger jobs some time in April If there’s enough interest. They work and parts will be $420.00

I thought I’d pass it on. When I spoke to him a month ago it seemed he was too busy with BHPs ( surprise?!). I gave up on him at the time after he seemed to trivialize my interest in my FNX. The BHP is an older design but I have 2 that I’ve decided are not up to the task to todays modern designs to warrant upgrading( personal opinion). He says he can’t drop the pull weight but can fix the trigger in general.
I’m in for improving this trigger, anyone else?

Grayguns is top tier with Bruce gray at the helm. He upgraded my HK USP Expert trigger beyond the match version it came up with and did a superlative adaptation of the jet funnel from the 40/9 to fit it and my hi cap mags. I have no doubt his Sig triggers are superior!
