    FNS 9 is an example of one that can be purchased in both a manual safety and no manual safety version. It also has a particularly small safety (though it is ambi), so it would be easy for an RO to miss, especially if they haven't seen the MS version since it is less common. 

    I've shot an FNS for 4 years now in production and CO with the MS, would suck to have to start using that tiny safety ( which an RO would have to be really looking close to see if it was on or off )!

    I actually have both the MS and non MS so guess I'll be swapping frames to the non MS for my match gun.

  2. So took the wife on vacation to Orlando and mixed in a day of shooting at the Florida Open. My first "big" match and was pretty nervous at the start but had settled down by our second stage.

    By the time we got to our 8th stage things were a little backed up so had plenty of time to burn the stage in my memory, first array, three paper and a popper that opened the port which mail functioned on my first run, so I top off while they made repairs and felt good about stepping right back up and going (probably should have just let the next guy go), made it to second port and did pretty good on some long poppers, paper and swinger, went to move on when I realized I had forgotten a single target tucked to one side! Slammed on the brakes to step back and engage it when I here Stop! Apparently I 180 when I hit the brakes.

     

    Well of course I was crushed but as I turn around to leave the stage there is Dave Sevigny, he shakes my hand and complements me on how well I handled it, then he notes I'm shooting an FN and wants my address so he can send me a little something from them, we then had a brief conversation about mags, sights, and how I liked my FNS.

     

    Well all I have to say is what a super nice guy to have taken the time to approach me and take a little sting out of my first DQ and give me a cool story for the locals when they ask how the open went!
