Fn 509

Anybody own one? If so what are your thoughs? My wife wants one cause it looks “cool.” This would just be an extra toy to shoot.  Not trusting it with my life or anything like that, we both have options we really like for that. I’ve got enough basspro rewards to cover a chunk of it unless I hear just some really bad things.

Great guns solid trigger, good accuracy, and no failures to fire with any ammo used.  They have a rebate currently.

Thanks for the feedback. There’s a few pretty sweet deals going on right now with Christmas so I think I’m gonna try to get out this weekend and pick one up!

My wife likes hers.  Light, accurate, low recoil, and nice trigger.  Magazines are a bit pricey, so if they are on sale, grab a few.

One note from an early adopter, and may need to research of this apples still. 

These had a reputation for breaking strikers from dry firing, which isn’t a typical problem in other center fire guns. Snap caps were recommended. 

May be slightly overblown, but just fyi.

I got the Apex striker when I picked up their trigger for mine because it’s good to have a backup.

Good shooting and reliable. New version with flat trigger is even better.

All good info! Thanks yall. I was reading that some of the early ones had some trigger problems. A grainy kinda grindy feel is what a lot of the complaints seem to be but I haven’t seen much on any of the new ones. Nothing but good news about the triggers in this thread and that was my main concern. I’ll update with some pics when we get a chance to go make a pick up.

My G/f just got an FN 509C. We took it down the range along with my Sig SP2022.

Very accurate, but loud af.
