OK, I had a FNP9 years ago and really liked that gun, until I became a revolver-snob and sold it. I've been getting back into autoloaders recently and stumbled into a good deal on a bi-tone FNX9 which I couldn't resist.
I'm really struggling with the trigger on this one and am hoping I can solve it rather than sell the gun because, other than the trigger, I really like it.
Focusing strictly on single-action shooting, the problem is the break point is so close to my palm, I feel like my finger is cramping because it has to come back so far. The used pistol came with 2 pairs of backstraps, I've got the largest one installed.
I showed this to a couple shooting buds and they agreed; the trigger finger has to travel far enough back to make shooting it feel awkward.
We overlayed a Glock 17 with the FNX9, both cocked, the FNX trigger is a 1/4" or so closer to the frame than the Glock to start with.
The difference may not seem like much but the tendency is to place the middle pad of the trigger finger on the trigger just to get a decent pull on the thing. Of course accuracy goes out the window.
So, I was wondering if there is any fix for this, or maybe this is just not a gun for me and I should sell it?
