My wife is looking for a new pistol and I thought this would be perfect for her.... but because it's relatively new there aren't too many reviews on it.

 

She currently has an M&P9c but she's not fond of the recoil and prefers my SIG P229R because she's more accurate with it, we're not sure if because the P229R is more top heavy or what ....

 

she is also going to try Steel Challenge, so having a DA/SA will be a bit tough because the trigger pull due to staring in DA.

 

It seems like she is able to handle 6.5lbs but not 10lbs DA. So, the FNS-9 has a range of 5.5 to 7.7lbs pull... any idea why there is a range for the trigger pull?

 

Or any ideas one other handguns that are in under 7lbs pull?

 

Thanks in advance!

I hear good things about the Walther PPQ

Don't know the exact reason but I believe it is average break in pressures. It's hard to get 1000's of guns to the same exact # pull without going custom like a kimber. but have you had the chance to shoot an xd or xdm, glock 17 or 19 and or walther PPQ

Honestly, I would suggest that she should go to a couple local shops and handle a bunch of different pistols. Just because you 'think' it will be good for her doesn't really mean anything. And in terms of trigger pull, sure you can research all that stuff in terms of specs but a lot of the time, it can be a lot different when you grip the gun and dry fire it.

See... she's a bit picky... she likes to have more than 12 rounds and this and that.. LOL

 

I try to at least narrow down what she like then start from there.... vs. going and trying everything under the sun ... she's shot the Kahr PM9, SIG P239, Glock 19, Beratta 92F, Colt .45, Beratta PX9 and held the PPQ and PPS in her hands ... so...

 

We're trying to find a place that has FNS 9 for rent ... so she can try it vs. just holding it.

Call Bob's Little Sports Shop. I know generally if they have a used one they will let you shoot it. It's just if they have one.

For a second I discounted this as a Wombat post

The new FNS is a really pistol. Had the pleasure of playing with one at Shot Show and enjoyed it. Dave Sevigny shot one for a bit.

I'll give Little Bob's a call later today to check.. thanks for the tip!

 

I've read about the issue the FNS 9 has with slide locking up if the trigger is pushed forward, while the hammer is down .. and seems like FNH is addressing the issue now ....

 

Just need to find it and let the wife try it....

 

This morning... she was catching up with Falia's youtube and was like..... oh look!!... SIG1911 .... LMAO ... sometimes I think she's more into it then I am.

So... this weekend my wife and I went down to Target Master in PA and they had the FNS-9 for rent!!!

 

The texturing is really aggressive, nicely built and I really like the trigger on it..... really smooth .... stop... then fire...

 

I was also able to reproduce the issue where the slide locks if the trigger is pushed forward when decocked. I tried to power rack the slide but the range officer was watching and I didn't want to really f' it up..

 

If I was in the market for another pistol... I think this would be on top of the list.
