just bought mine a month ago during the corona. I agree whole heartedly with you about the trigger. could it be smoother yes. is it effective enough yes. works fine for me. but to each his own
The gun is in my opinion amazing it all the bell and whistles, but that trigger has to be a priority for FN. The trigger really needs help it’s gritty and extremely heavy, hopefully with use it will lighten up, but overall it’s awesome.
Your assessment, of modifications is incorrect. The FN 509 in particular, was made specifically for the military. That is why the trigger is heavy. That is also the reasoning behind other features. The was made for combat. Not civilian CC.
I’m not sure what you mean by assessment of modifications but you are partially correct sort of. Before it was known as the 509 it was one of many pistols that entered the military contract trial and it failed early on. FN decided to bring this to the civilian market to recoop their money as several other companies did. So yes it started off as an attempt as a military pistol but never made it. There were numerous press releases and videos stating this. So my opinions are my opinions but everything else is just known stated facts.
I have a couple of 19s but no 17. I honestly cant tell much difference in recoil. If i had to pick one that is more enjoyable to shoot I would pick this one over all. Just my opinion though
Just came back from the range with a new out of the box 509 tactical. Completely disappointed! About 10 failure to feed with 124gr and 147gr even with the reduce spring. No wonder they lost the military contract.
John Bruce out of the box with factory lubes was the problem. Cleaned it used light lube and worked fine. Using blazer ammo 124gr and 147 American Eagle. So far so good. No reloads.
You’re supposed to clean it out. Cosmoline can really gum your gun up and actually damage it. It even says in the manual to clean it before your first range session
Errmegerd..... dude.... too looooooong for a tabletop. You could have said most of that in 10 minutes tops. Good review info.... but people can’t spend 1/48th of a day watching a tabletop.

In regards to the hinged trigger, its the same trigger as the fns-9. It is very gritty, but it smooths out over time. Just FYI
This is the Best Polymer pistol on the Market Hands Down!!! Love Mines! It comes second to my Sig 229 Elite but only by a hair

Are you referring to MACs review of the FN 509 tactical at 12:46?
I'm kinda mad I missed out on the olight pl mini in fde for my 509 🤦🏻♂️
What are your opinions on daily carrying it when it comes to size.
I have carried similar or larger. What you may like is the new 509 mid size. It is more G19 size with some upgrades over the old 509.
Awesome SWAO《☆》I was looking at the M9A3 & noticed some things I didn't like about it. Thanks for Your review helping Me choose a pistol ☻
How's the recoil impulse compare to glock 17?
I have a couple of 19s but no 17. I honestly cant tell much difference in recoil. If i had to pick one that is more enjoyable to shoot I would pick this one over all. Just my opinion though
@@ShootWellAndOftenSWAO I think I'm going with 509 tac. Thanks!
May grab one seeing as it's red dot ready that's outstanding
I want to check out the Canik elite combat after reading thru the comments ☻
BDOG JR As do I. I have cash in hand waiting.
So the yellow one is for shooting suppressed
Great video! What is the model of that olight?
PL Mini Valkyrie
Did yours come with the plates
Yes. It comes with a whole set
I’ll wait for the black. I have the M9a3 already
ChestyMD i keep wanting to pick that one up.
I'll take a hinged trigger over the Glock trigger.

Did you clean it? Factory ammo or reloads?

I always clean out the factory lube.
