Description
Developed for the US Military’s Modular Handgun System Competitionâ€â€and backed by over 1 million rounds of testing in the most demanding conditionsâ€â€the FN 509 represents the pinnacle of the combat pistol. It’s built on the proven architecture of the FNSTM Compact, but every aspectâ€â€both internal and externalâ€â€was scrutinized and analyzed to enhance ergonomics, ammunition compatibili” cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel, which was upgraded with a recessed target crown for accuracy. Both the slide and barrel geometry have been improved to help lower the bore axis: recoil travels straight into the meat of your hand, where you can best control it, keeping the muzzle on-target for fast follow-up shots. The original sights have been replaced with flat-edge luminescent combat sights that provide fast low-light targeting and can be used to rack the pistol one-handed in an emergency. For durability’s sake, the 509 was outfitted with a captive double-nested recoil spring to reduce wear and enhance what was already a very long expected service life.
The list goes on and on. Deep-cut slide serrations. Aggressively-stippled grip with added texturing on the front and backstrap. Rotating extractor for positive no-fail extraction. Even the magazine has been upgraded for easier removal when buried in sand. The bottom line is this: the FN 509 is a true military-grade Pistol that shoots like a dream, eats any ammo you throw at it, and keeps running in the worst conditions imaginable.
