FN 509 making racking very easy, also with gloves. Assembly and disassembly pro- cess of FN 509 is pretty standard, simple and easy. There are no com- plications, everything is well-fitted. Pistol is doing exactly what is was designed for and it's clear that other different brands designs were analy- zed and also good lessons learned from experiences using previous FN pistols (here comes FN 45 Tactical, older and bigger brother of fifty-nine) like option for MRDS or very good solution with rear sight cover wing that protects the sight and serve as additional point when racking the slide one-handed. Iron sights higher due the compatibility with suppres- guard profile (a little bit of work with to file and it could be even better). There are no problems with quick double taps but remember that this is service pistol! Manipulators are large, easily ac- cessible and placed comfortably what makes using them very easy also wearing gloves. Magazines provided work well and there are no problems with loading. does not give any problem when loading. Those big 24 round ones are making enormous impression but after inserting them into the we- apon, the gun looks little weird, be- cause it's taller than longer. What's more, the base pad was made in black– whose idea was that? Big slide and aggressive cuts are Range is hot! FN 509 Tactical in the name itself explains origin of its existence, so I expected long reset, massive build and big frame. I was not disappoin- ted. Trigger is quite hard but it does not require Hercules strength to pull it, except that is characterizes smo- oth work and very distinct break po- int. As something different, trigger reset is mile long – I do not measu- re it but back travel is more than 6 mm. After someone will get used to it, then firing from FN 509 is even comfortable. Weapon might be con- trolled easily thanks to great textu- re, good grip angle and high trigger Tactical www.fragoutmag.com
