Ok totally my fault.  I got a great deal on a FNS with a safety but didn't want the safety.  I took the gun apart chopped the safety levers and post that blocks the trigger bar.  Now it's the same setup as the non-safety model except for the notches in the frame where the safety was.  So now I'm thinking of swapping the safety back in just because the look bothers me too much and it's going to be a safe queen.  FN customer service lady told me they have no extra safeties.  She told me to order from Mid West Gun Works who are out and telling me they have no idea when they will get more.  I'm LEO and emailed their LEO sales, no return email.  I sent a message to their Facebook site which claims answers in an average of one hour, no reply.  Posted on their homepage asking about ordering a part and my frustration, they never allowed it on the site or replied to me.  WTF  Why are FN so ridiculous about selling parts?  Is there someone else on here who might have a contact person or suggestion?

Have you tried the FN pro shop? I'll look for the link.

The guy who runs it is a solid dude.

Midwest gunworks has every single part you need. Cheap USPS shipping as well for tiny parts.

FN Customer Service is the worst! Horrible.

Midwest hasnt had the parts ive been looking for in 2 damn years. I emailed Mo from the Pro shop about a full sized FNS mag release and he sent me one immediately. If you email FN's regular customer service they will just tell you that Midwest handles all their parts

Hmmmm, their factory and pro shop are within walking distance from my house. And I'm probably going tomorrow to purchase something. Want me to ask? Maybe one of the guys can simpily walk to the big factory behind the pro shop and grab a safety lever off the assembly line or something.

LOVE MIDWEST GUNWORKS!!!  I just went to their website a few minutes ago (don't go very often now days ) and holy crap! They have complete FNX45 Tactical slides and threaded barrels for the FNX45. I've been waiting for 5 years for them to become available. They do have a good selection of slides and parts right now.

I had the same problem last year with some small scar parts. Called the LE contact and he said he couldn't do anything for me and that I needed to co tact Midwest. I couldn't  believe that they can't get one from the pro shop either but that was also a no go.
