- The new midsize 509 from FN is here! The FN 509M, as Hammer calls it, has a Glock 19 size grip and holds 15 plus 1 rounds, making it a little easier for concealed carry persons, and others, looking for a gun in this size footprint.

I picked up my 509 Midsize today and am looking forward to taking it to the range. The 509 Tactical (which I have fired over 900 rounds through) has been a delight to shoot, and has become one of my favorite guns.
The FN handguns are made in Columbia, SC, not far from where I live.
Cool, good information my brother. I think most people think the FN is European. That is good for South Carolina my old stomping grounds. God Bless SC...
my FN-9S was made in VA.
FN Herstal is Belgian engineering are Belgian, but for America FN has the largest US factories in Columbia, the FN group owns Browning and Winchester for shotgun, FNH built for North America but does not do not design weapons, the entire weapon design is Belgian.be
I bought the 509 Midsize after my great experience with my FNS 9C. Both are fantastic pistols! Get one.....or both!
Are the mags work with each other by any chance?
@@jesseariasja Short answer is yes. 17rd 509 mags will fit in the 509M and FNS 9C. 15rd 509M mags with fit in the FNS 9C. But FNH recommends a grip sleeve to prevent over insertion. 2rd sleeves did not ship with the 509M, but are supposedly being made. M&P 2.0 Compact 9 mm pistols ship with two 15rd mags and two 2rd sleeves (for full size 17rd mags). That is what FNH should have done.
I have purchased a 509 Midsize MRD and have added an RMR. After approximately 600 through this pistol, I can say that I love this setup.
How did you install your RMR??
@@chiefsire7231 The gunsmith at my LGS installed it.
@@randolph6511 Were there any issues? I have the 509 mid size and want to mount the trijicon but there are no plate screws on the slide. Did you remove the rear sights and have your slide milled to install a mount plate for the RMR??Thanx
I own the FN509 full size and absolutely fell in love with it. The pistol is built extremely well with quality written all over it. The gun did not malfunction when I ran over a thousand rounds at my last range visit. The FN brand is battle proven. I have the 509 in my carry rotation and I have full faith and confidence everytime I carry it. I would suggest the Glock freaks take a look at this well made, high quality, dependable, and reliable pistol. Oh, by the way, I own six Glocks.
Own the 509 & 509 midsize. Love them both. My 6th FN firearm.
I was looking to getting one I was told the trigger is bad. I have a few gun ranges by me but the don't have one to rent🙋🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Any reliability issues with the 509 midsize?
I'm picking mine up tomorrow.
I like carrying my 509 because of the full size grip. I hope one day FN will make a 5 inch barrel longslide. Gr8 vid. 🔫
Thank you. That would likely be a great gun to shoot if they do.
Great gun overall, awesome in the had 👍👍 PS, for all you people worried about shooting underwater buy an underwater gun. I plan on shooting mine above water. 😅
@@tereztiago9133 lol 😂
Thanks for a very nice review. My LGS has my name on one, along with a black 509T, as soon as they arrive. My 509 standard had a little bit of grit in the trigger but after 2000 rounds it is very smooth.
Finally a proper explanation of the trigger safety! So many reviewers state the dingus or hinged trigger is to prevent the trigger from being pulled accidentally while holstering .... it is an inertia safety y'all! Mr Striker, you are also one of the few channels to properly explain transfer bars vs hammer block safeties. Thank you for knowing your sh!t and not making half-ass videos!
Thank you!
I received a call today saying that my 509 M has arrived, so I will pick it up tomorrow. The ones that they had did not have night sights, so I decided to wait pass on it until I could get one with night sights.
Never focus on your rear dot sights. Focus on the front.
I’m a CZ guy but I’m really liking this gun
I just want to express my appreciation for your professional and thorough presentation of this weapon.
Thank you.
For anyone who carries a striker fired handgun you should give the FN 509 midsize a try, it’s a great handgun and after a couple weeks I made mine my daily carry.
After having put 3,000 rounds through my 509 Standard, 1,100 rounds through my Tactical and almost 300 through the Midsize, I am comfortable enough to make the Midsize my daily carry.
Any broken strikers?
I have the 509 with over 2000 rounds through it and everything is still factory and not one problem
Own both love the FN509 midsize. Love the FN509 platform. Own the FN509, 509T, Midsize & Midsize MRD. It’s just an FN Awesomeness.
Mine is arriving this week.
for a combat sight picture, I prefer the rear sight to be darker
Love me my FNS-40 .... am looking into the 509 lineup ...
Great video I really like the 509 but the 17 round version had a water issue it would not fire after being submerged . Had a real light strike on the primer but after you racked it it shot fine .
Thank you. The SC is the same basic design so the hydro-static lock that striker on the full-size 509 would likely be present in the smaller one.
I'm rolling the dice that mine will never be submerged.
My 509 Midsize had a scratchy trigger at the shop but they only had one example so I took a chance and bought it thinking it was just the striker safety. Sure enough it was easily solved by removing and lightly polishing the surfaces of the striker safety and top rear of the trigger bar pyramid (just field stripped and not disassembled) that rubs against the striker safety. The sear has a slight drag feel when pulling the trigger super super slow before the break, but this is not a target gun. With slow, normal, and fast shooting the trigger is very nice after the polishing job. Feels like 6 to 6.5 lbs trigger pull which is optimal for a self defence pistol. Controls all work great, extractor tension perfect, able to load all 15rds no problem, great grip feel, bank vault precision lock up. Only wish it had a tactile loaded chamber indicator and striker status indicator like the XD series. Great gun, highly recommended. Overpaid for 2 more 15 rd mags from cheaperthandirt, but they were in stock.
I enjoyed your video. I have the older bigger model. But I enjoy it totally.
Thank you.
Great vid as usual. I just picked this up a week ago. This is almost the exact size of my PPQ m2. The serrations are the same size, depth, and angle as on the PPQ
Thank you.
I wish FN could make the Fnx45 in this size
Thank you, very informational. I have S&W, SigSaur, and Ruger. I just might look into this one. Although I really want a sub compact.
Norman Gerring FNS 9c.
Thank you. I hope a SubCompact is coming.
Sure is nice.
Thanks for the video. Do you like it more than the G19 or the M&P 2.0 ? Thanks
Hammer preferred the 509 , I (Striker) prefer the G19.
i brought mines back when i saw the rear slide rails were plastic as well as the ejector
Neither have never been plastic. FALSE INFO
My only problem is fn's warranty. In the event of a manufacturing defect I am responsible for paying for repairs? No Bueno Ameigo! They lifetime the rifles, but not pistols.
algierssolja what do you mean by defect? One by manufacturer or generated by owner? I did buy an FNX9 few years ago and it wouldn’t get through a magazine to save my life. Sent it in and no issues since. Also, didn’t charge me. Still own it as well.
Had a recall on 3 of my fn's. They even fixed the trigger that I messed up. Didn't cost me anything.
Can you imagine an FN single stack? Would love one.
I have the fnx45. Mines bigger than yours!
Do you know if the water problem was fixed I this model ?
Idk but just don't fight in the ocean
Very nice, can you predict a 45 acp in the near future on this midsize version..?
Though I have no direct information from FN, I can say that I do not believe there will be a .45 acp. The reason being that the entire 509 series is only available in 9mm. FN seems to include the caliber in their naming scheme, so if it ever appeared it would likely be a different model name, even if it was basically the same gun.
Great video. Is the full size version snappy since it's polymer?
Thank you. It is not really snappy, it does handle recoil quite well.
This pistol seems to be a great gun but during some research on this pistol it will not fire after being in water like Glock or Walther
You swim with your handgun?
Not that it would come into play much, but when I’ve seen videos this gun shuts down after being submerged in water, I passed!
Durhamite77
Do you plan on swimming with it???
I agree that after being submerged a firearm should function afterwords
BUT
In my experience though... youtuber or not.... one says one thing, one says another, then my non content creating self has another experience. Don’t knock it till you try it. Hell I even gave the p365 a chance and so far so good
Hail to The_Rooster I also have the 365, and no issues...but thats after I felt Sig fixed the bugs...when FN fixes that water bug, then I’ll consider it...it’s just water and it completely disables the gun until you rack that round out...no sir...Not for me
Hail to The_Rooster I gave in and purchased the MRD version b/c I got a great deal. I really like this pistol
Most gunfights are under water
Why no optic cut out option?
I'm thinking maybe the 2020 Shot Show.
Hi are the dimensions identical other than the grip length?
Yes
PLEASE WATCH THE WATER TEST ON THIS GUN, IT FAILED MISERABLY. ie rain
So what lol, do you submerge your guns in water before using them?
Yeah I'm always nervous when I carry my 509 scuba diving lol
Bet you can't do a video with out mentioning Glock.
They simply make an easy point of reference for size function that there is probably not a gun store in the country which won't have one. Economy cars are compared to the Civic, muscle cars to the Mustang and guns to Glock.
If your talking cars you use Ford as reference. What's your point ?. 19 will go before my 509
SO, YOU'RE THE GUY THAT BOUGHT AN FN 509 🤣🤣
Fn handguns are bs
Well you convinced me.
Terribly Tactical I was considering one until I found out they can’t handle water
@@RepentorPerish77 just dont throw it in a bucket of water for 10 seconds before you need to use it .
