Glock and the other subsequent striker pistols made us believe that a longer, softer, partially-cocked pull was just as safe as a heavy, double action pull without the need for a manual safety, simply because of the center safety button on the trigger. The two systems were equal in regards to safety because despite being very different in function, they both prevented accidental discharges in their own way. They were either a double action first pull – like a revolver or Beretta 92 – or they were single action and had a manual drop safety, like a 1911. Prior to the striker pistols, most pistols were controlled in one of two ways. Over the years we have been fed other terminology for a trigger pull that both cocks and fires the gun, but double action is double action. FNH calls the FNS a “double action,” which is correct. Ergonomically, the FNS is not unlike other double stack 9mm pistols, but the manual safety adds a completely different dynamic to the gun you don’t normally expect in a gun like this. We got to shoot the 9mm version of the FNS, but it also comes in. And with a rail on the front, double useful slide serrations, an external extractor, stock night sights, and downright good looks, there is little you could want in a full-sized duty pistol that the FNS doesn’t already have right out of the box. The drop safety itself is a revelation of sorts and should make a lot of people jump up and down screaming “YES! FINALLY!” Few companies have dared put a manual safety on their striker pistols and this is the first in a gun that can compete with the big boys. It is completely ambidextrous the magazine release, slide stop, and safety lever appear on both sides of the frame. It is made in America, has a street price under $650, and one by one, you can count the features that are unique to this gun. But if you are looking for a gun that truly has everything, you have to look at the FNS from FNH-USA. These days there are so many polymer, striker fired pistols on the market, it is difficult to tell them apart sometimes.
