The 4.3-inch cold hammer-forged threaded barrel makes the new pistol compatible with today’s most popular aftermarket accessories like compensators or suppressors. The 509 Compact Tactical also features the FN Low-Profile Optics-Mounting System, capable of accepting more than 10 miniature red dot sights.
The compact frame features the FN 509-signature enhanced grip texturing for secure hold, a MIL-STD 1913 picatinny rail that is compatible with most compact pistol lights, and interchangeable backstraps for a customized fit.
Additional features like the suppressor-height night sights aid in co-witness of the miniature red dot and while the optics system is not in use, the protective slide cap provides a serrated surface for racking the slide from any surface and ensures iron sight alignment.
The pistol ships in an FN-branded soft-sided case with the optics-mounting kit, one each of the 12-, 15-, and 24-round capacity magazines with the appropriate grip sleeves or in a state-compliant configuration with 10-round magazines.
FN says the FN 509 is its most tested pistol platform to-date with more than 1 million rounds fired during development.
