FN 509T 509 Tactical 9mm Optics Ready Threaded Barrel Black 66-100375

I believe the FN 509 Tactical is a very underrated offering. It comes equipped with several features that many people would like to have on their handgun: optic ready with multiple plates, threaded barrel, suppressor height sights, and has ambidextrous controls. GunPrime made the process super easy with awesome pricing and fast shipping.

I have owned the 509 mid-size MRD for almost two years and have run approximately 10,000 rounds through it in that time period. The reason I chose the 509 Tactical this time is the length of the grip. On the mid-size my support hand pinky finger tended to slip off the bottom of the grip. I remedied this by using 17 round mags with sleeves. With the Tactical I do not have that issue.
With the mid-size I Apexed the trigger immediately upon purchase. I shot 250 rounds through the Tactical and could definitely notice the "gritty" trigger pull of the OEM trigger. Also, I prefer a flat trigger as to the curved OEM trigger. The take up and the reset feels a bit longer in the OEM trigger compared to the Apex trigger.
With the mid-size 509 the ambidextrous mag release was a problem, the pad of the first joint of my "social finger" would cause inadvertent mag dumps, usually at the most inappropriate times. I changed the mag release to a right hand only. So far it does not seem to be a problem with the Tactical. I also opted for an extended slide release for the mid-size and will do so with the Tactical as well as soon as I receive the part.
The last mod I made was changing the upper to an Apex 5.0 barrel. With the upper on the mid-size the balance was a little nose heavy. I swapped the OEM 4.5 upper of the Tactical with the Apex 5.0. Both pistols are well balanced now. Accuracy and distance have improved on both pistols as well.
I would buy both/either of these pistols again because they are American made and of exceptionally high quality. It is an undisputable fact the FN weapons are combat proven. I shoot often and I shoot a lot when I take tactical courses. I have had zero malfunctions and zero down time with these pistols. Watch the deals on Gunprime and you can get these pistols at significant discounts which makes them competitively priced with Glocks.

Love my FN 509 Tactical, the extended mags are a bonus!

I’ve had it for a few weeks and have fired 500 rounds in it and it is one of the best handguns I’ve shot. The best looking 9mm on the market.

Seller review: I purchased this black FN 509t on a whim from gunprime due to the price they offered, it was dang near a steal. Gunprime had an amazingly fast turn around time. I placed an order in the afternoon on a Thursday and that evening it was already being shipped to my FFL. I will do business with them in the future and recommend this company to others.

Product review: this pistol is a great deal for what you get. Suppressor height sights, threaded barrel, two 24 round mags, a 17 round mag, an extra spring, a chamber lock, instructions manual, and a soft carrying case. I also was able to snag the free light offer that was going on as well. Straight out of the box I did have some FTE/FTF (failure to eject/failure to feed) issues and that was due to my idiocy. I did not clean the gun before shooting, but after I cleaned it I haven't had a single issue since. You need to clean it or will have issues. I've put about 1k rounds through it and it's a solid firearm. I highly recommend purchasing one if you're on the fence about it.

Reason for 4/5 stars is that while this firearm is amazing, its not my favorite.

Fast shipping legit place!
