Manual or not, i will shoot them until something breaks, and fix it. Before that happens i am just balsting away and enjoying some great feeling accurate pistols. Just me, and i can get why someone would at least wonder about the manual terms but if everything else about the pistol works for me i don't let it stop me.
Well, that is what the guy in the link did - and when something broke, FN would not warranty the gun. So, just be aware of that.... |

And that is why there is so much FN backlash in that thread. FN will not provide parts to owners. They do not trust their customers to do something as basic as change out a recoil spring. The owner is expected to ship the pistol to FNH USA for routine maintenance every 2K rounds. Let us know how it goes if/when something breaks, and you try to fix it. |

| will do. They are all registered on line with FN, and i will bet that they will fix something under the warranty as long as its from normal use. Time will tell but i will post about it and if i am wrong you will know. |
