Four months ago I purchased my first Five-seveN (black MKII) and was appalled at how bad the trigger was for a weapon at this cost. I wouldn't mind the heavy pull ... if it was consistent. My trigger, when carefully squeezed, has two unpredictable levels of creep before a crisp break. I can live with a little predictable creep. This was not! I sent it back to FN for servicing twice. The first turnaround time was about two weeks. Did not notice any improvement. Second turnaround time was two days. Better? Maybe a little, I thought. So, about a month ago, I purchase a second Five-seveN (FDE MKII) because I am impressed by the "basic package" and have outfitted them differently. The "new" FDE Five-seveN has the same HORRIBLE trigger with unpredictable "double-creep" ... so at least I conclude it was not just a one-off issue with my black Five-seveN.
Now ... under stress conditions ... the trigger will probably not be a major issue, and otherwise I still find the Five-seveN a very impressive handgun. Plus, they nicely complement my PS90. The black one, to be used as a primary home defense weapon, has a Viridian X5L green laser and light (very impressed with it BTW). I'm going to keep the FDE Five-seveN "bare out-of-the box" as a range gun and hope putting more ammo through it and dry firing will improve the trigger somewhat. I've never been a fan of striker-fired handguns, but I recently purchased two SIG (full-size) 9mm P320's for IDPA and USPSA use. Right out of the box, both have excellent triggers ... almost perfect ... and put the Five-seveN triggers to shame. C'est la guerre.
