I bought my FN 503 2 days ago! Managed to get the very last one one of my local gun stores had in stock, cleaned it that night and after seeing how borderline bone-dry it was inside I’m pretty sure it had been in that case for a long time, which made me feel even luckier. Everyone else’s loss= my gain! I took it to the range yesterday and was so impressed; I’d never shot an FN before and I’m so happy that this was my first FN. Can’t wait to take it back and get better acquainted with it. I’d seen the mixed reviews from people regarding the thin grip, lower capacity when compared to other 9mms, etc but as a woman with small hands and trash grip strength the thin grip is perfect for me because it lets me actually reach the slide stop and be able to actuate it with my thumb. I’ve been watching others do that for years, now with the FN 503 I can do it too. The recoil wasn’t nearly as stiff as I expected (thank you, nearly all-metal construction) and with the 8 round magazine it’s even less. I couldn’t be happier with mine. Underrated gem, I’m so happy to have it.

Very similar to the sig 290. Also and underrated piece
Thanks for reminding me of that gun. I couldn't remember it to save my life.
Now this in 357 sig game over also stack in a half in 9mm killer
Found one in California for 289$. LEO tho. They wouldn’t even let me hold it in the store.
Isn’t the reflex the double stack edition ?
Can you compare this to the Xds 9
XDS is great but the trigger wall is heavy
The apex carry looks very similar to this . Would u do a side by side ?
How does it compare the the S&W Shield Thankls for the video Stay safe.
Chonk I love it
Do you have a Walther's PPS?
YOU TUBERS , generally claimed it as softest shooting single stack .
My store had a sale on those, it was like $200 right around the time they discontinued it. I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it.
How could you not buy a FN for $200? 🤷
@michaelsweaney3890
I know, I'm still upset about it.
Love the video. Off topic, but how is your Gforce lever action holding up?
How many rounds you got through that bad boy
I saw one like 2 weeks ago bought it immediately for $350
If I could get a "three finger grip" on it (a la Masada slim) I would be getting one of those. But alas, they "sawed off the grip."
Truth
The PPS M2 is a soft shooter
