I'm new to FNs and to the FNS line --this is my first post, here. (That said, I do have a wonderful old T-series BHP... so I'm not entirely new to FNs.
)
I recently traded a very nice Glock 35 (that I couldn't shoot for crap, and it was my second) for an FNS-40 and some cash, and was amazed. Soft shooting and accurate. The trigger is OK, and arguably better than the Glock, but it could use a little help. (The guy I traded with immediately took that tricked out Glock 35 and started punching small groups at 30' when trying it out -- my groups with that gun looked like shotgun patterns unless I shot very, very, very slowly. (I had a tack-driving Glock 34 and thought the 35 would perform the same. In his hands it did, but not in mine.)
I've since acquired a FNS-40 long Slide from the same guy in a similar trade; he had trigger work done by a gunsmith in Colorado. A superb gun. (He got my fully tricked out M&P 40 Pro with all sorts of APEX upgrades. I liked it, but liked my 9mm version of the same gun, better. (I got the Glock and M&P .40s in recent trades.) I may eventually sell the FNS-40, but think I'll be keeping the long slide. But the FNS-40 line has restored my faith in the .40 round.
