"critical flaw-" in FN pistol

[WillBrink]

Apparently, under a few specific - albeit unlikely - conditions, some FN pistols will discharge:

"...more than three years later, the Firearms Training Unit would discover an issue with the FNS 9 pistols that are the standard sidearm for every DPS trooper that causes them to fire unexpectedly – or not fire at all.

Shortly after the flaw was discovered, DPS began hurriedly replacing the roughly 1,500 FNS pistols it purchased over four years beginning in the 2015 fiscal year, when it ditched the SIG Sauer pistols that all troopers carried in the name of cost savings."

Not good at all.

First flaw: Its an FN.

I’d rather they just crank out Hi Powers like Colt does 1911s.

I thought the who Sig The P320 freak out was mostly a big nothing burger. This seems like legit bad mojo.

I didn't tend to put FN in the crap category.

Exactly what I was thinking. May not be a popular option but never considered them of low quality

I heard about this a few weeks ago, never been interested in FN so didn't bother looking it up.

Any fatal flaws in Gen 3 Glock 21’s and 30’s? None? Whew, that was a close one. I was worried there for a minute.
