I have one that I obtained with the SFS system already installed by FN. I have no complaints. I wouldn't have sought it out, but I am a police detective and my department will not approve single actions for off duty carry. However since FN officially registered the SFS as a DA trigger with the BATF (even though it really is nothing of the sort), I can carry that. The only downside is you can't use the safety lever to lock the slide back for field stripping the way you can with a normal Hi Power. Otherwise, it works no differently when you draw and fire: you still thumb the safety off during your draw just as you would with a normal SA Hi Power. The only difference to get used to is that you use your thumb to push the hammer forward rather than flick the thumb safety upward when you reholster.

The trigger is no better nor worse than a standard Hi Power trigger, and shooting it, it doesn't feel any different than regular SA Hi Powers I have shot or owned. I think the setup was devised to make the gun appeal to people who are just a little leery of carrying a cocked and locked SA auto (or departments like mine who are also leery of it). It has no actual practical advantage over the SA trigger. It doesn't alter the manual of arms for the pistol much at all. I think it just addresses the perception some people have that cocked and locked single actions are less than ideal. It behaves too much like one to make any real difference.
 
when you make the gun safe do you have to physically move the saftey up when you push the hammer forward? or does it do this automaticly? I have to push mine up after I push the hammer forward
 
I had two SFS sytems, one on a Hi-Power and one on a 1911. I liked them but the manual of arms is different to place them on safety; consequently, I changed them out to remain consistent. When I placed them on safety by pushing the hammer forward the thumb pieces moved to the upward position automatically. If you have to push yours up as a second motion I suspect that something isn't working right and I think I would have a gunsmith check it out. Hope this helps. Keep shootin' and check 6

On mine, when you push the hammer forward, the thumb safety moves upward into the engaged position on its own. Pushing up on the safety itself accomplishes nothing; it won't move. The only way to engage the safety is to push the hammer forward. I agree with Galena; I suspect yours is not working properly if you have to push the safety lever upward after pushing the hammer forward.
