It's true. Had it up on gunbroker for a few days. . . . . . but later took it back off.
Reason? Well, I feel like I have too many 9mm pistols as it is [have one in layaway] and am really wanting the new CZ P-09 [when it gets to my local gun shop], so decided that I should sell the FNS-9 to help pay for it. I keep thinking, . . . "I REALLY need to start saving up money for a car down payment". . . . but then something else [gun] comes along and peaks my interest. My 1997 Hyundai isn't going to last forever, after all.
Also, I've been thinking that I like [prefer, even] the hammer type pistols over striker fire. A lot of it had to do with the tendency of this FNS-9 to slightly "jerk" to the right when dry firing. My hammer pistols don't do this. I can hold straight on with them. However, after viewing the post about where to clean and oil the FNS-9, I have gotten it to where it is a lot better. Not much "jerking" now, but after the takeup, . . . I'm able to slowly squeeze the trigger until it releases the striker.
Anyway, . . . another factor is that, upon searching for other FNS-9 pistols [on gunbroker], I saw SEVERAL dozen auctions, many of them NIB, some close to where I wouldn't go less for mine, . . . and most of them had NO bidders. Only ones that did were ones that started of very low [but had a reserve]. So, after working on the trigger more, I decided that it would be more advantageous to keep it and have fun with it.
