Is there any for a FNX? The reason I ask is I feel that the DA pull isn't as smooth as it should be. SA is just fine though. Wondering if there is something I need to oil up.
Also is there some recommendation for which parts to lube/oil if any?
Is it new? Shoot it for a while, that will help the parts get to know each other better. Lube makes little difference on these guns, imo.
Does anyone know why FNH says not to use teflon based lube on their guns? I've used triflow on other guns and it works well. Can't imagine why it wouldn't be good for an FNH.

There's two schools of thought on lubing polymer framed pistols. Some/many say they require minimal oil regardless of brand. *I*, OTOH, lube them just as I do my Beretta's/CZ's or anything else. I put a light coat of oil all over the bbl & all over the inside the slide with a bent pipe cleaner. I make sure to get oil in the slide grooves where the frame rides. I also add a drop to the hammer/sear contact surfaces.
While some say this is a bit of overkill, I've learned the hard way via many an USPSA/3 Gun match that well oiled guns run best regardless of make/model. My buddies laugh at me when they shoot my guns & a list mist settles on their glasses, but MY guns NEVER puke during a match & run like shit thru a goose during rapid fire strings.
I figure any excess oil will be slung off the slide anyway, so I don't worry about it.

Totally forgot I wrote this... :(
Thank you for the responses. I like your answer BobCole, it doesn't hurt anything to add a bit of lubrication. I have some remington oil I'll have to try that out.

I agree. It's not going to hurt it.
I use Corrosion X on all my guns, its been fine on my FNP45 so far.
Trigger pull was pretty smooth out of the box, but after a LOT of dry firing it has definitely improved.

I need to do more shooting and dry firing with my FNP-9.
