FN 509

The FN 509® is built on the proven architecture of the FNS™ Compact, FN made changes internally and externally to meet the rigorous performance standards of the MHS requirements and further developed the platform into the FN 509® with the help from industry experts. Over the course of development, the platform has been tested extensively for reliability, ammunition compatibility and durability – totaling more than one million rounds.

The FN509 is a fantastic handgun by FN. This polymer framed pistol may be the replacement for the Glock 45 you’ve been looking for.

The FN 509 was developed and eventually entered into the US Army’s XM17 Modular Handgun System Competition. Originally the 509 was developed for a Solicitation started by the US Air Force.

It’s roughly the same size as the HK VP9, HK P30, S&W M&P Fullsize, and the Walther PPQ. With its 17 rounds capacity, it’s large enough to be a duty gun but small enough to carry concealed.
