I just joined this site. The reason I joined this site is because I simply have to vent to someone. I was at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA this past Saturday. We go every year for the fun of it. I usually do not buy much when I go. "Show Specials" are not always specials if you know what I mean.
As I was walking around I stopped and examined an FMK 9c1 Gen1 9mm pistol. It felt great in my hand and the attitude of the manufacturer was awesome. They actually printed the bill of rights on the side of the gun. I had been looking for a 9mm. It is one of the calibers that I do not own yet over my 25 years of collecting. Even though I said I wasn't buying any more guns this year (last year I went a little nuts) I thought the price was right and bought it. (Out the door at $400).
The next day I took it out to the range with two boxes of Federal 9mm ammo. I was looking forward to shooting it and putting it through its paces.
In a nutshell this gun sucks. It has the worst trigger pull I have ever felt. After a box of ammo I could barely move my trigger finger. AT 50ft I couldn't hit a 12 inch steel plate. The trigger pull in a mile long and feels like 20lbs. The salesman neglected to tell me that this gun is full time double action. Part of the guts of the gun had been removed for the show so I couldn't experiment with the trigger pull before I bought it.
The worst part of this is that I know better. I had no reviews to go by and had never heard of this manufacturer. I thought I was getting a deal and now I am looking to see what I can trade it in for at my local shop. What is really sad is that this is not the first time I have done this either.
I don't want to put down the company. I think they are a new company and they are trying to put out a new product but I want to warn all of you, if you have a chance to buy a 9c1 from FMK don't do it. They have come out with a "gen2" which is supposed to have a better trigger pull but test that for yourself. FMK Firearms 9C1 Pistol Proudly American
Anybody want to buy a gun? LOL
