This review compares the FN 509 Midsize, Standard, and Tactical models. The Midsize is recommended for concealed carry due to its Glock 19-like dimensions and 15-round capacity. The Tactical model features a threaded barrel, suppressor-height sights, and an optics-ready slide, while the Standard model offers a Glock 17-sized grip with a Glock 19-sized slide. All models are praised for their solid build quality.
This guide details a specific modification for the FN 509 pistol to address a gritty trigger pull. The 'secret fix' involves smoothing the front barrel lug, an often overlooked component that can cause friction. The procedure, demonstrated by an expert instructor, includes careful filing and sanding of the lug, followed by lubrication, resulting in a significantly smoother trigger feel for both OEM and aftermarket triggers like Apex.
