on sound firearm design, the FNS
™
stands for the highest level of reliability,
consistent accuracy, functional design and provides the operating precision
and safety expected from an FN firearm.
The FNS
™

on the specific model of your FNS
™
pistol, it may be equipped with an
ambidextrous manual safety lever. With the chamber and the magazine
loaded, the pistol will fire a single cartridge each time the trigger is pulled
until the magazine and the chamber are empty. The slide of this pistol will
stay open after the last cartridge has been fired from the magazine.
Simple and durable in design, the pistol is very easy to maintain. With a
reasonable amount of care, your FNS
™

dependable service. In order to take maximum advantage of the many
features of your FNS

performance or the operation of your pistol.
