FNS9 Pistol Failures, be advised

There seems to be a major failure(S) in the FN pistol design
Striker-fired,, I am not a fan..

I have nothing against striker-fired pistols in general but that situation is seriously FN'd up. Wow.

Also, admittedly without a ton of detail as to purchasing method, it would seem that the Republik of Maryland managed to spend over 3x as much per unit more (than Arizona) to do a replacement of theirs. Maybe a new soda-tax will pay for that.

See, and I thought that following the basic rule to remove the source of feed and clear the chamber was the best way to start disassembling your weapon.

Misfired my ass.
