Eugen, if you are going to leave the magazine disconnect in place, I would recommend polishing the area on the front of the magazine where it rubs during trigger use, and also the surface of the disconnect part as well, as the disconnect part does slide slightly on the magazine... polishing will make the trigger pull as smooth as possible. A little lubrication on those surfaces will also help.

FWIW, I once owned a new commercial FN produced HP with the round commander type hammer, the tangent rear sight, but without the frame being slotted for the shoulder stock (the reason I eventually sold it)...

I didn't feel that the sights were an improvement for an un-stocked pistol.

As I recall, I traded it for a NIB Colt Gold Cup National Match .45, which strangely enough, I also no longer own
