The FN 509 Tactical is the multi-role pistol for concealed carry, home defense and duty use, with a factory-milled slide ready to mount a micro red dot. With a polished chamber and feed ramp, the FN 509 feeds and extracts all factory ammunition reliably. The cold hammer-forged barrel locks in accuracy, with a recessed target crown and threaded muzzle to accept most suppressors. The standard issue 17-rd and 24-rd magazines provide the right balance for concealability and unmatched capacity.
The FN 509 Tactical extends the capabilities of the FN 509 family, originally developed from FN's submission pistol for the U.S. Army Modular Handgun Trials. Building upon the FN 509 design, it integrates significant improvements tailored for versatility and performance. Central to its features is FN's U.S Patent No. 10/352,654 Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, enabling compatibility with over ten miniature red-dot (MRD) optics. These optics co-witness seamlessly with suppressor-height night sights and accommodate future optic releases without requiring direct milling of the slide. The pistol includes a slide cap with raised sight wings to protect iron sight alignment in case of drops or bumps, also serving as a textured surface for slide manipulation against a belt loop, pocket or boot. It boasts FN's renowned 4.50 inches cold hammer-forged stainless-steel barrel with a target crown, threaded 1/2-28 to fit most 9mm suppressors, featuring a thread cap with an integrated O-ring for secure use. Furthermore, FN 509 Tactical magazines hold 24-round, maximizing ammunition capacity while maintaining compact carry dimensions aligned with the slide length. This combination of cutting-edge design and practical features solidifies the FN 509 Tactical as a preferred choice for users seeking enhanced adaptability, reliability and firepower in a modern handgun platform.
