I just bought a new FNS 9 LS today after handling it at my local LGS and marveling about the crisp trigger and very short, positive reset. I had to have it. Will get to the range for a wringing out ASAP.

I have an FNS-9 regular stainless with night sights on order and I'm already thinking about the FNS-9 long. That tope picture with the color added to the inlay of the top slide...is that normal or does the commercial model come all black? Have you ever shot a Glock (say a Glock 34 gen4), if so, how does it compare to the FNS-9 long?

the color added i did my self and does not come from the factory, i begged my god daughter if i could borrow her crayons. i have owned total of 3 glocks, g26/g17/g17L which i sold all 3 a whild back now. for me the fns-9 all around feel how it fits in my hands and trigger from factory is way much better than the 3 glocks i previously owned. though the fns-9 ls trigger is a bit heavier, the reset and almost no take up for me produces thos groups i posted...its a good trigger, but i think the more i shoot it will eventually break in the trigger more. i also have a p07 but the fns 9...to me feels better
i also did it to my fnx 45

Can you please explain how you added the color in the slide? What you did improves the look big time and while I have favored the stainless slide, I would probably get the black Long if I could give it the same look as yours.

I believe the OP just used crayon. You can even use furniture refinishing sticks available at most hardware stores. It used to do this on my guns. You degrease the area with rubbing alcohol. Heat up the crayon or furniture stick just a little using a heat gun or blow dryer. Rub the crayon into the lettering. Gently wipe off any residue. The markings will hold up pretty well. If you want to remove them, just use a toothbrush dipped in alcohol or bore sovlent. Comes right out.

Op, if you used a different procedure please let us know. The above method has worked for me.

They make a crayon in white?

yep. Kids use it on colored construction paper. How else are you going to draw a ghost at Halloween?

I accidently made a thread without checking my old first but has anyone tried both the Regular and Long Slide? Besides the barrel length i cant find anything on google about other main differences.

Also, Testors model paint is alot easier than paint and is alot more durable than crayon. I would use crayon as a last resort.

I bought one on a whim. I like it, but not as much as an Apex'd M&P 9L.

Stock vs. Stock? Give me the FN, Apex parts? I use the M&P.
