FN 509 First Range Session and Initial Thoughts!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2017
- I finally got my FN 509 in! For whatever reason I had a hard time finding one in stock at our distributors, but now I have it. Whew. So, what do I think? What do others think? We take the new FN 509 9mm pistol out and do some shooting with it using Freedom Munitions American Steel ammo. We get a 1/2 of case of ammo through it with three shooters. Me, Sam and Conner share some of our initial impressions of the FN 509.

I'm not surprised to see you like this pistol. I'm enjoying mine and have been shooting it a great deal the last week or two. There's something about the ergonomics of this thing that make me just want to pick it up and shoot it some more. There are a lot of nice polymer pistols out there these days, but this one feels great in the hand and has a feel of solid quality. Of course, it's FN, not exactly a fly-by-night gun maker. :-) By the way, good to see and chat with you at the NRA meeting.
hickok45 you are awesome!
We both have equally large hands, and it's rare that I find a pistol that fits my huge mitts so well. The 509 certainly fits the bill. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yours as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it shot. As I mention in the video, while I love the P10C, the 509 has more pleasant recoil impulse. It was fun catching up with you and John at NRA.
Hey two of my favorite content creators! Cool!
hickok45 you convinced me on the fns9c and now you're pulling my leg on the 509!
Smoke a little pot for me Hickok
I happened into a LNIB 509 at my local watering hole for $425. I have been EXTREMELY impressed with it. I use the straight backstrap. I also used the MCARBO spring kit. It has a crisp 4.75 lbs trigger pull. I also fit a set of orange Tritium Ameriglo Sig #8 Hackathorn sights. With Underwood's 124gr GDHP +P+, it makes one tiny ragged hole at 30-feet. It is quickly becoming my favorite. Thanks for the video.
Good setup
Hickok45 is absolutely right in that the ergonomics of the FN are truly phenomenal.
looking forward for the gauntlet on both the FN and CZ P10C
its still fun!
DyingIsMyLatestFashion it exposes potential failure modes, which *is* something
The FNS-9 has become my favorite handgun. So I got a FNS-9C and it's a carry gun dream come true.
The FN 509 looks like another excellent offering.
cool man I am Kurdish soldier fighting against Isis and you have my support
yep I will not let some dumb people give Bad Name to My Religion and my people
kurdsh Empire I love you
God bless you and keep you safe at your tasks.
Well thank you for your service. Give them hell soldier!
jsdima9113 thanks
About a year ago my wife *discovered* I was ammosexual. Initially she was appalled. I introduced her to my collection of "toys" and, through some gentle coaxing I brought her in on the action. As is usually the case with adventurous and fun women, once she understood that *I* wouldn't judge her for enjoying it -- well, now she's fully into it!
These days, we regularly share our ammosexual adventures with likeminded hedonists and regularly throw our cares and concerns downrange at 2000 - 3000 feet per second... :)
Amir Guy LOL that's funny as hell
That beard puts Sam at tier 3 top echelon operator status. Much respect.
Love these reviews and the thought processes behind them. Thanks
You shirt just brightened my messed up day. I appreciate everything you guys do.
I'm still rocking an old FNP 9 and love it.
I really like the left handed opinion you guys have added to the videos.
when I started watching the video and you revealed the "Gauntlet", it put a smile on my face
Really glad you are starting this review and taking it through the gauntlet test, really looking forward to that test! It'll make or break my decision to buy it.
awesome to get those guys out Mac.
I bought an FN509 MRD and it's arrived! I'm excited but now I have a 2 week waiting period in WA.
I JUST PURCHASED THIS FIREARM TODAY. IM REALLY LOOKING FORWAED TO SHOOTING IT. GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. TAKE CARE.
Good to see you Sam again, back in videos. Nice review.
Awesome video sir. I look forward to hearing more about this gun. I briefly fondled a few of them at NRA this year and really liked them. It will most likely be my next carry gun. Thanks for all you do!
Still waiting on my local gun shop to get my 509 order in but very excited to see this video wile I'm waiting for it to arrive.
Awesome video man. The 509 is my next purchase. I'm really impressed with how well it tracks and how soft it shoots.
I like that slow camera turn while shooting 👌🏻
Tim I love that you guys have started use rails for the camera. Looks so cool! Keep up the great work!
+Raul Rodrigues Thanks! I'm glad some folks noticed. This is our first video using the new kit from Kessler Crane.
Well played Sir....well played indeed.
Thanks! I was wanting to see a good video and a comparison of this FN 509 and the Sig P320. I'll be back for the gauntlet!!!
Mac, I have to say its exciting to know about the upcoming firearms for the reliability test. Keep the great content coming!
Hey, great review as always keep up the great work.
I'm looking forward to the gauntlet test. Great review guys
Nice camera work, I like the slow pan around close ups, it should be a regular thing. I agree, this looks more appealing than the old FNS.
I like your reviews and I didn't realize this firearm was available when I just purchased a FNS-.40 about 2 weeks ago, haven't fired it yet but will very soon ...
I really love this pistol...so accurate. I was a little disappointed that it didn't do that well in the gauntlet but I will still carry it when I'm not in a swamp.
You did it again! Another great video!
Real nice gun just picked one up ,feels great and shoots great
thanks MAC
Love it! After just 350+ rounds, the trigger is much better easier & smoother. No regrets. Nice video!
Gary D'oL Amen brother. I'm in love with my 509 too.
I love my fns9. I was looking at this as my second handgun.
This FN 509 has been my carry weapons since I got it. I like shooting it better than the CZ P10c which I also have. I agree the recoil is very soft and the grip texturing it about perfect nowhere as near aggressive as the CZ P10c. Mine had a smooth trigger out of the box. I paid well under $600 for mine at my LGS. 17-rd magazine is about the perfect load for a magazine and that's a plus to me. Thanks for the video. I sure will be interested in the gauntlet trial.
jealous you can have 17 round mags. ->from CT. :(
Jim Chapman where did u get holster and is it iwb. Thanks.
Will - I thought I had answer this, but I guess not. I happened to have a Bravo Concealment holster made for my S&W M&P Pro C.O.R.E. 4.25" bbl which to my surprise fit the FN 509 perfectly. It snaps into the holster and covers the trigger perfectly. It's not hard to draw out either. I don't think I could have gotten another kydex holster that fit this pistol so well.
Jim Chapman thanks I'm on the hunt now. Just put 350 through mine trigger cleaned up quickly measuring at 6#
I will try and stop by the shop on Tuesday the 23rd on my way to Road America to say hello and check out all the toys.
Just purchased a midsize, can't wait for it to arrive.
fns msrp was the same at one point but quickly dropped off to under 500.00 US! Love my fns and cant wait to get my hands on this too!
That slider is epic!
I love my FN 509 Midsize MRD
Picked one up yesterday $429 on clearance at rural king
That reasonable ! Whats your take ?
Good vid, went well with breakfast. I've never been disappointed with any FN firearm. I'd like to see "recoil impulse" judged when shooting some real world +P duty ammo as opposed to just range ammo. Looking forward to the Gauntlet. Keep'em coming.
Great, my list just got bigger LOL! Great video!
I had a very bad experience with American steel ammo. I had a complete lockup with my glock 22. It was just slightly out of battery and the slide would just not come back( dead trigger as well) . I had to use a mallet to get it loose. The American steel also produces more sparks out the muzzle when firing than any other ammo I have run. I just finished up the last of the 500 rounds I bought and i am glad it is gone.
Can't wait to see it run the reliability test!
be thinking about getting this love my fns9 now I want this
Nothing makes your day better than when you get off work, grab some dinner, pop a beer open and phone goes *blip* > "Military Arms Channel uploaded a new video"

where are you in the world where you are eating dinner at 10 am EST. ?
ihurricane7 your comment is only 47 minutes old but it's 1:38 PM on the east coast
Thanks and I hope you had a great Friday.
In Finland, 5pm gmt+2 mate :P
Tim's still got the knife hands sharp! Rah!
Good camera work guys! pro! :)
I want one so bad. I love FNs products they are really high quality
FN makes good firearms and honestly I love my 509. I did however have two issues with the firearm, one of them was a major issue but was easy enough to resolve. First issue is that I am definitely not used to a European/combat Zero. I did end up changing out the factory sights to remedy that issue. When using the same site picture and point of aim that I would use with a Glock I was hitting about three inches low at 50 ft. The major issue was the fact that the striker broke after somewhere between 600 and 700 rounds. I replaced the striker with a heavy duty machined stainless steel aftermarket striker and I haven't had any other issues after that. It has been through multiple classes now and even though I had those issues it is still a handgun that I trust, and it is extremely accurate.
I will try this gun out sometime. I have a feeling it will fit my hand well.
I am a bit concerned about the ejection. It seems slightly lethargic, however if it keeps working without problems, then I guess it does not really matter....we will see with some more testing.
Very consistent ejection!
It's so much nicer aesthetically than the CZ. Both look to be great pistols and I look forward to trying them when I'm next in the US!
Greetings from NYC. I have been as huge fan of yours for years. Keep up the good content. Can't wait to leave for a freedom state.
Thank you and keep fighting the good fight in NYC!
Thanks will do!
NYC is like Europe. It ain't 'Merica. 🤠🤠
I too am from NY and I hope you escaped. I’m currently in the free state of KY!
I rented an FNS at my local range to give it a try a couple years ago and after only about 50 rounds or so, my hand was actually hurting quite badly because of the grip texturing.
You got a sub man, great videos. Love the amount of detail included and, more importantly, the lack of battle uniform clothing and excessive use of self-made acronyms like some other RUclipsrs.
Thanks for the sub! It's greatly appreciated. We're just shooters. I'm not tactical, that left my body decades ago. I'm a life long shooter and collector. I'm glad you enjoy the show.
After being a machine gunner in the mountains I can agree to the tactical leaving my body as well. haha
Can't wait for the Gauntlet!!!
Very nice firearm. I just bought the TP9SFX so this will have to wait. There offering 3 free mags with purchase till August 31. Total 5 mags is a sweet deal.
Good to know about the trigger soothing out, because it felt pretty bad to me. Also, I've been seeing these for $540-560 in PA and Ohio. Not bad imo.
I just got one the other day with trijicon night sights for $519. Love my 320, and this one is hot as well. God bless the USA
Excited to see how it does! I'm also hoping you will run Ruger's new American pistol through the gauntlet as well.
89Hols Ive been asking Tim for months and he hasn't even responded. I think it would do well!
That American Still is a very good practice ammo.
Ambi is not just for left-handed shooters; some of us still believe in swapping hands depending on the cover we’re using at the time. Also with our hands wrapping around the gun they frequently get injured by return fire - they are right in the “X” zone... I am a lefty, however.......... Pete.
I hope they don't skip over the "Block 19" footprint and only produce a subcompact and full-size. This could be a nice 14/15rd 9mm carry option.
I can't wait to see the torture test FN 509
Im really liking the strong US military vibes that come with FN products. Any compatibility with fns mags and or whats ballpark mag pricing? great stuff man!
i have always loved fn along with walther firearms.
2 wise choices
Got mine last week. for $569.. But only 2 mags? ugh polished it in a few spots and wow Love the trigger now! .. fits me just fine, but front and back grips just a bit more aggressive than I like, that's just me.. Internals like well made. I'm happy so far. Wanted the new CZ and or Beretta but not around here yet. I settled for this and glad I did.
Great video! I have 3 FNS guns and an FNP-45. I also tried the 509 at my LGS, the striker system seems almost identical to my FNS pistols, not a rework of a hammer-fired gun. Trigger seem IDENTICAL. Rather than $649 and 2 mags, I get 3 and night sights on my FNS for $440. Only difference I honestly see is the stippling, and I agree with you that the FNS can feel harsh.
I had the opportunity to shoot this pistol about 2 weeks ago. The FN rep was in our local gun shop and We got to talking. Long story short I put about 50 rounds through it. My thoughts were good ergos, goes on target naturally, good sights, uncomfortable slide release, decent trigger but sloppy take up on the reset. Equals Nothing to right home about.
you look exactly like Dixie Dave from the band Weedeater 🤘keep the vids coming!
FNH make great guns. I wish you'd give the FNS a chance, I know it would really grow on you as it did on me.
I'm still over here hoping to see the Sphinx vs the CZ 75 P-01!!
Very nice this one. ...it is the one FN that I would like to own.
good stuff
From now on, when you shoot it you have to say, "Giddy up 509!"
hello i just want to say i really enjoy your videos they are very informative and fun to watch i was aslo woundering how many firearms you personally own you use and review alot of nice firearms im just curious lol i would love to shoot all the guns you have shot deffinetly the full autos that must be fun as hell anyways great videos and thank you for making them
love the tshirt ,it is great
12:22
Sick footage
Awesome shirt and video!
oh a new mac vid
I thought that the initial take up and break on the trigger pull was noticeably better on every FNS-9 that I've tried versus the one 509. This was right out of the box and without any break in time. However, the trigger reset on the 509 was slightly shorter and far more crisp.
I like the Bul Cherokee I just bought the more I shoot it and the more I like it
Wow, looks like zero muzzle flip!!! Got this for $400 shipped brand new yesterday
I work at Mega Sports Inc in Plainfield IL, we just got the 509's in at $529. Just wanted to update the street price, or at least what we're seeing them at here
+Andy Rodriguez That's a great price. You're not far from us, but I have to delve deep behind communist lines to come visit you guys. 😀 You're always welcome to come by and chat with us here in the free state of Indiana. 😄 Just ribbing you. That is a good price though.
My Favorite striker fired Polymer 9mm is my TWO PPQ-M2's !!
I liked the first one so much I bought a second one, especially when I saw it on sale for $519.99 !
Thinking of getting it in 45ACP & 22LR ?? Just need $$
It's the Pistol of the armored truck company Brink's Cash Logistics
Looking forward to the stress test.
Nice shirt man! 👍👍🇺🇸
Did you get a new camera rig? The panning shot while you were shooting is nice!
brass covered steel casings.....
COOL!
The "pan" effect you're doing with the camera is a great touch. I don't know if it's some sort of rig or a person with a gimbal.
Keep improving!
+Gaelan Garrett It's a robotic programmable rig made by Kessler Crane and it's called a Second Shooter. Thank you!
This might explain why I got the FNS with NS and 3 mags for $399 around Thanksgiving. I really like that gun..the grips are a tad on the aggressive side though.
2000 grit sandpaper works well and can't tell you touched it
Run the HK VP9SK through your tests to see if it fails like the VP9 please.
🇺🇸👍thanks another one to add to the collection
Hey MAC I've noticed that Demolition Ranch and TFBTV now have adds on their videos hopefully your channel as well!
I'm pumped for the 509! Are you guys ever going to do a sig m11-a1?
