disassembly problem with FNX
finally got it..appears to be hanging up on sear a bit.
seems to work best when deock or pull trigger as release slide to remove it, but still a bit bound up..yet, no apparent damage done. perhaps will smooth out or I will develop drill better...sort of like learning to tickle carbs and use the kicker on a norton commando... |

I think that once you ge it figured out, you'll really appreciate the FNX. Friend of mine has the FNP9, firing and field stripping it is an absolute treat

I checked mine, when i pull the slide back and rotate the takedown lever and release the slide mine comes right off. So my guess is that your gun either has a little burr or something that is catching. Give it a while i bet it will smooth out, my gun has been great. Never a jam in over 1000 rounds so far.
