The Arizona DPS has released a safety bulletin explaining that the FNS series of handguns is capable of firing without a finger on the trigger.
If you pull the trigger on the FNS while the pistol is out of battery, the pistol can fire as soon as it goes into battery, even if you have released the trigger. If the trigger remains slightly depressed or does not reset, once the pistol goes back into battery the pistol may 1) fire or 2) be easily jarred so that the striker releases and the firing pin block is ineffective due to the trigger not resetting.
According to Arizona DPS, this affects the entire line of FNS series pistols in all calibers. FN acknowleges the issue but states it is only applicable to pistols manufactured before February 12, 2017.
