    FNS

    I wounder what the part is that is allowing those to malfunction and is there a recall on the civilian ones?

    I do and I do. The Type 94 Nambu has the sear bar running along the left side EXTERIOR of the pistol. Pressing that without touching the trigger can fire the pistol.

    And just think the govt. went from the Beretta 92 to a striker fired. I know this guy that had an AD and the manufacturer would not return the firearm.

    In my 54 years of guns and shooting, I have seen too many
    AD's.
    From striker fired pistols to SA/DA autos to SA revolvers to
    even single shot shotguns.

    Every AD had the same thing in common with the firearm;

    A PERSON was holding it!!!!

    Have never seen a gun go off by it self.

    Did you see the video?

    Holding the gun, yes. Finger on trigger, no.

    It appeared to me that a light tap with a mallet was all it took to jar the striker off the sear.

    Well that video sure opens up speculation. I have three striker fired .. DB9, XD40 and the new Sig P365. I also have a mallet.

    The FNS may have a design flaw, it may also be that the owner tinkered with it and messed it up, possibly something as simple as incorrect reassembly. So many variables. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I've owned many striker fire pistols and none have ever caused a concern. Just slower follow-up shots. Historically, single action autos carried in condition 1 have caused many more AD's (usually on draw).


    The FNS did have a problem with the striker, but the opposite
    thing, it delayed or didn't fire.

    If it were a problem the MILLIONS of striker fired pistols sold EVERY YEAR on the open market would be causing several deaths a day.

    I am not concerned with it.

    And people laugh at the Glock for having 3 safeties, one of which is a drop safety.

    I don't own or trust any striker-fired pistol.


    Me neither, on both accounts!!!

    Not surprising, as an teenage shooter back in the mid 60's I was told to never own a auto loading pistol that didn't have a hammer & safety, that they were dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. I've always taken that advice seriously when shopping/buying [;)]

    I'm not going to bother with the video. Sounds like another anti-gun Remington faulty bolt lawsuit is on the way.

    If making a firearm safe that's not safe is anti-gun. Then I'm anti-gun... And trust me, I'm not anti again.

    That's very nice of you, but 100% unrelated to the AD topic. [;)]

    Uh, yes it is. It describes two scenarios that the video addressed.
    From the link,
    quote: The condition may result after the FNS pistol slide is forced out of battery at a very small and specific distance, such as what might occur if the muzzle end of the slide is pressed against an object, and the trigger is pulled. The pistol functions as designed and does not fire. However, if the condition occurs, one of two scenarios may result:if the trigger is held to the rear, the pistol could delay firing until the time when the slide moves back into battery, or (2) if force is removed from the trigger and the slide moves back into battery, the pistol could fire if jarred. In the unlikely event that scenario (2) occurs, keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction and rack the slide to the rear to reset the pistol. Avoid a ?tap, rack, bang? clearing sequence.
    The video shows this starting @1:49 calling them condition one and two.
