RSS Firing System

FN’s Patented RSS (Repeatable Secure Striker) firing system takes a modern striker-fired system to a new level. It gives you all the advantages of a modern striker-fired handgun with several added benefits. Many striker systems on the market today are, in essence, single action. They need to be recocked in order to fire again. With the RSS, a shooter can "restrike" a round that misfires – much like a conventional double-action. The RSS is also safer. The striker is completely at rest until the trigger is pulled. There are no springs pulling the trigger in the firing direction. This at-rest position greatly reduces the risk of accidental discharge.

Extended Modular Rails

The extended modular slide rails on the Forty-Nine are longer than most polymer autoloaders. This distributes the friction over a greater bearing surface. The rails are also contained in a modular unit that can be replaced by a gunsmith when needed, extending the life of the pistol. On other popular models, once the rails are worn, it’s time to throw the gun away.
