- Quick follow-up to the unboxing video from a few weeks ago. I put a few hundred rounds through it (FMJ & HP). Installed an APEX Striker and an Olight PL-Mini 2. Thanks for watching!

30 days from today I get my 2nd amendment rights back. I'm buying the FN 509 tactical. Can't wait
Get to pick mines up tomorrow. 👍🏽 review
Take the striker out. Get a-tips put them in a drill and get polishing compound. Polish the inside of the striker then install the apex slide maintenance spring kit. It will smooth the trigger out and make the trigger feel great.
Sweet shooter, sweet video. Awesome brother!!
I’m with yah on the Apex striker.....good choice!
Have this exact model but in black. I run a Leupold Delta Point Pro and upgraded the trigger and striker with Apex. I love this gun especially after I upgraded the trigger. 700 rounds through mine and no issues. The mags are expensive though. I collect one every so often.
Yeah, I agree. I just picked up a few more spare mags myself.
Just got this exact gun a few weeks ago and loving it. Got a sleeve for the 24 rounder on the way
I went with the 509c tactical, can’t wait to get the call it came to the store.
Bought a SW M&P 9mm compact FDE colors and than I saw this FN509 mid size compact FDE and I had to buy it as well, love em both
Put the Apex Striker Assembly in mine as well "just in case" because you should always never have to worry about breaking a gun you need to protect yourself from simple dry firing. FN dropped the ball on that issue. I do love mine. I got the MDR or COMPACT equipped with RMR mount. I have a Leupold Delta Point Pro for mine and love it. Also ordered a 17 round mag with a FDE sleeve so now I have a 12 15 AND 17 ROUND magazines. Shoots well and the trigger improved when I shot it the third time after 300 rounds. No complaints as of yet. Vedder light tuck IWB for me as well.
Do you know if FN has addressed the striker issue? I’m looking to get one of these soon and am wondering if i should go ahead and get the upgraded striker.
It’s more readily available because of the price point,that’s why.
Crazy thing I was going to get the glock 19 as well and due yo availability I didnt, and saw this fn and fell in love
Great review my man! Love the shirt too lol
Thanks!
That's the best choice. Apex everything and you will have a great gun. Leave the factory striker and risk your life. Mine's broke.6 days ago at the range and the felling isn't good. So I advice everyone who have the FN 509 to go Apex everything! My two cents!
Don’t leave home without replacing the striker with an Apex striker. My FN 509 Compact MRD had 100 rounds till the striker pin broke. Likewise I mounted an Olight on the pistol. My CZ P10 C is superior to the FN 509 pistol in every way, because it goes bang every time. If you are considering this pistol just keep walking by. As an owner of several pistols this is not a reliable pistol. Thanks for the holster intel.
Other than the striker what else makes it unreliable?
@@Hialeah1925 Everything else works on it, after I replaced the striker with an Apex Part. You will need to use a snap cap if you want to dry fire it. So far so good. Let's see if the Apex part will hold up.
Who did you order your magazines from and how much were they ? Thinking about buying a 509 Midsize.
Came back to say the striker on my gun which is indenticle to yours has failed so good call on the Apex striker. Just got mine
Wow! Thanks for coming back to post this! The Apex striker seems to be a must have upgrade.
My buddy has a ton of rounds on his factory striker. I think its hit or miss.
I like your setup.. Just the pistol new by itself what kind of price before tax?
What holster are you using with the MRD?
Did you do their tactical or compact holster for the insane kydex?
This was the order:
IWB Holsters: FNH FN509 Tac W/Olight PL-mini2 ( Black)
Belt Clip: Rapid On/Off 1.5"
Slight Cant: No
RMR/Optic cut: Yes
Mod Wing: Yes
What’s the name of the sling bag ?
It’s the Viktos upscale sling bag
Please tell me the Olight was a joke
6 or 7 pound trigger is horrible. I just ordered one if it’s that bad I’ll be selling it when I get it. I imagine the sigsauer P3 20 would probably be better
Im confused is it a midsize or compact
boomee78 Midsized
I count the stipples under the trigger guard to differentiate between compact, full size or midsize. The compact is easy to spot but the midsize has 8 rows of stippling. The full size has 12 rows.
Why you know what you buy a firearm and immediately need to replace a very integral part? Smh!
