Well now this was a interesting video and I own the FN 502 in fde. As far as I'm concerned this is a very well designed and functional 22 LR semi-auto pistol. Ran through somewhere around 3000 rounds with virtually no problems and the accuracy seems to be very good. It is not my favorite 22 semi-auto pistol that I own, that honor would have to go to the sig Sauer p322 I think my Taurus TX 22 competition would come in number two, I am very glad that I bought the FN 502 tactical.
Just found and bought the FDE............ to add to my TX 22 and Beretta m9 22..report will come later... + get a front optic installed: Well done...thoughtfully explained: Thanks
Nice review. Too bad every gun dealer is basically "scalping" these. MSRP is around $480 ish. They are going right now for almost $1000.00 right now. You have to be out-right out of your mind to pay $1000 for a 22lr handgun. Too bad FN isnt doing anything about it. Nice gun but I can wait. My Glock 44 in 22lr is fine right now. Good job though....
MSRP is $499. I looked everywhere for one. Gunbroker had plenty ranging from $700-1200. No thanks! Found one at Scheels online on 12/13 and picked it up at my local Scheels-$499. Paired with a Rugged Oculus Suppressor this little .22 rocks!
Ya go figure….. not sure if it’s the distributors or the dealers but they sure are vultures ….. budsgunshop does have them right now for 508.00 cash……. Just a heads up
A friend has a 502 and I have shot is a couple of times. I really liked it. Has a 9mm feel, is accurate (his had red dot) and very few malfunctions. It surprised me when he mentioned he had sent the gun back to FN for work. What?? It's almost new. Well, apparently, there is excess wear in the slide which revealed itself in cleaning. FN tried to call this normal wear but he's only had the gun for 3 months and wouldn't put up with that dismissive attitude. He's a competitive shooter (15 yrs shotgun, now long rifle and I've seen him hit a target at 1000 yds and 1 mile at a private range outside Ephriam, UT.) I'm wondering anyone else has had this experience or is this a one-off.
I just got one and I’ve had it for like 2 weeks and it’s been pile of shit, I gotta contact Fn or take the gun back to cabelas I think I got a defective gun, or are they all shit
They’ve had a couple recalls on the earlier models, people have been changing out the guide rod and the spring. I just got mine (2024) and am waiting for some parts to switch out. Haven’t shot it yet. I’ll probably do a few mags before and then run it with the new stuff after. See if I can notice a different. Also I’ve seen people polishing their ramps.
And I got myself one in flat dark earth and it rocks. The trigger is outstanding. I had no issues with it. The weight of it is perfect and the only thing it’s better than this 22 LR is a Volquartsen Black Mamba!
It looks good and has a nice trigger, but they might not have bothered with the open sights. It is obviously made for a dot sight, but if you buy it thinking you will just use the open sights, then think again. They are on the quality level of bb gun sights. It is easy to move the front sight with thumb pressure. FN will say to put FN 509 sights on the 502. Just leave off the open sights in the first place so that the buyer doesn't have the impression that they are useful.
I put the Trijicon FN 509 Suppressor Height Night sights on my FN 502 Tactical. I was the guinea pig as Trijicon confirmed dovetail dimensions but couldn’t confirm if the sights were compatible. As they had not tried it. I didn’t want the blacked out sights. Waiting on a Sparrow for my accurized MK2 and 502 Tactical. Good video I’m twelve minutes in so far. 275 rounds through the 502 today. Remington Gold Bullet it didn’t like at all. No Bueno brother. Not reliable at all.. The Aguila Super Hollow Point worked best. Federal Punch had hiccups in the beginning. Regarding holsters. I’ve ordered three total so far.. FN E Store FN 509/502 garbage. Waste of $90. Now idk what to do with it. Red Earth my buddy John is gonna modify my NUKA OTWB. Just was a little tight is all. Should fit with my Sparrow I’m waiting for. The other one is from Gunfightersinc. Also RH OTWB. I only conceal carry my HK VP9SK. Don’t like to appendix carry anymore. My holster guy uses the same Gemtech you do.
This came out two years ago, but just showed up in my feed. A couple of comments anyway. I agree with your sentiment that 'shoot what you feel comfortable with.' A whole lot of people cringe at the very thought of a 1911 in .45, yet that's my EDC (at least when I was carrying every day). I was a Range Safety Officer for a while, and we had prison guards who would come out once a month or so to shoot. They'd shoot 9mm, and this one girl couldn't hit a target at 15 yards to save her life with a 9. She was anticipating and hitting the ground up to 15 yards in front of the target. So, a .22LR, for people who aren't comfortable with anything bigger is a good choice. The next comment is on optics. My 1911 has a laser grip (came that way from Kimber), and for defensive shooting, I'm using the laser to aim with. I can see the laser, especially in a darker situation, very easily and I don't need a sight picture. Dot on target and shoot. So, in a defensive carry situation, I'd want a small laser for the front rail. Laser Max has both red and green lasers (mine is red, I'd go green if buying new) that mount to the rail. Obviously, I'd want a holster that supports that, but if I could find one. But, I would want a laser (that is reliable) over sights, for night time, dark area use, as well as the ability to put it on target quicker. Also, a red or green dot on someone's chest is a stark reminder that you're 'on target' and 'an attention getter.'
On my daughter's 21st we went to a gun shop and she tried all sorts of handgun out. She settled on a Springfield XD subcompact in 9mm. As a NRA shooting instructor and RO I could not get her to o hit a refrigerator size target with that gun. The trigger was giving her fits. One day while we were shooting I ask her to shoot my Kimber 1911 in .45acp. I did not have high hopes🎉 due the the bigger cartridge and heftier weight but oh man I was shocked. She took to that 1911 like a pig to mud and shot it amazingly well.night and day difference. I wound up buying her an Ed Brown Kobra Carry .45. it's a great 1911 and she is scary accurate with it. It just goes to show you a change of handguns can help. On another note and what brought me here is the FN 502 which I just acquired recently. I like it a lot and added an AAC free suppressor, streamlight TLR-1HL and Holosun 509c. I'll get her to try it out soon and see what she thinks of the FN
@@reloadNshoot The 1911 is one wonderful pistol to shoot. What I've found, especially with women, is they are afraid of the recoil, or alleged recoil. We've done such a disservice to all shooters with television shows and movies, etc. People are expecting pistols to hurt them. A few years ago, one of the guys at the range bought a S&W .460, IIRC. Big-assed gun. Now, that pistol has a compensator on the front of it, which is effective, but even the guys on the range were 'Whoa, No, nope, not shooting that!' He had a bipod on the front of it, and he offered me the chance to shoot it. I said 'Sure, no problem.' We were on the 100 yard range, and it was very easy to put three rounds on target at 100 yards. The recoil that everyone was afraid of wasn't that bad. Okay, it lifted the muzzle up about 30-40º from the horizontal, I wouldn't expect anything less, but it was very easy to shoot. The thing is, though, someone sits down behind something like that and it's like 'Oh wow, this is .460, the recoil is going to kill me!' They hold it with a death grip. Well, yeah, if you do that, it's going to transmit all that recoil to your body. So, yeah, you hold it firmly, but you don't tense your arms and body 'in anticipation.' That's going to hurt. So, I don't have any surprise that your daughter was going to do well with a 1911, The recoil isn't that bad and you don't get scared of it. We had a few visitors on the range one day, from France. Guests of a member, and he wanted to give them the opportunity to shoot. So, I had my .22LR in 1911 pattern and I was letting them shoot it. One of the young adult ladies was having a blast. I put two rounds in my 1911, put the safety on and when she had finished the .22LR mag, took the pistol and handed her the .45ACP. She had no idea what she had just be given. She aimed and fired. She was surprised, looked at me, and shot the next round (leaving an empty pistol. I handed her full mag, she ejected the empty one, let the slide go and finished the mag. She was accurate (at 10 yards) and enjoyed it. Didn't flinch once after the first shot. I told her that a pistol is a pistol and there isn't that much difference between them. The same is accurate for any woman (or man who is willing to learn). Had another young lady come to the range, had never shot before, and I offered to let her shoot. Sat her down at the 50 yard range, from the bench. Gave her my Ruger 10/22 which has an upgraded trigger on it, very nice clean 3 pound break Scoped rifle. Her first shot was maybe in inch high, she put the next four rounds in the same hole. Had never shot before in her life. Never saw her again, but I hope I planted the bug for her. 😄😍 I just looked at the Ed Brown site. Whoa, those are expensive! But, you usually get what you pay for. I like that G4 Kobra with dual caliber. The 9mm is a little nicer for the range. I had a Kimber .22LR conversion for my 1911 (also a Kimber) and I enjoyed using that. Anyway, yeah, a woman can shoot as well as anyone else, if they have the right pistol and the right instructor, and don't hear the crap about recoil and a 'pistol that's too big for them!'
Just got one (for my Dau?)...Not anymore. She has my G19 anyway. However, had to take an old ODG Strap assy, cut/dremmel it and epoxy into mag-well (mag in well sloppy), not anymore, fit-fin is great. Mag Release too easy and sticks out too far. Dremmeled that down and re-dimpled, much better!. Took old Kidex holster and cut-to-fit so knurled barrel goes through (all dremmel :) will enlarge based on smallest suppressor avail. Drilled sights and put illuminate paint in (could have got newer tubes and installed them, I may). Will be getting a standard pen-light and laser will be added with modified on/off switch going through trigger gaurd (can't get what I want, so i'll make it). All other issues are not warranted (doub-act, safety etc). My mind and muscle-mem sticks with each weap (Crims need not apply to my weaps because they will..."Wait, What, How, It-won't Etc..." Fight or Flight is an option :)
As someone who lives in minnesota I can't buy this gun ,it is not legal because of something about the gun parts not being safe they say these parts can melt when you fire a million rounds thru them ,what a joke !
I feel bad for you man, I live in Tennessee and went into Rural King 2 hours before they closed and walked out with it within 40 minutes. Hope your gun laws get better
I want one badly. Georgia takes too long to get anything new. I'm considering ordering it online. It's the gun that is going to make me apply to get a suppressor.
@@FedoraOutlierLLC FTE, FTF, failure to go into battery, & hard primer strike but no boom. I checked with several other individuals who purchased the FDE version & they had the same problem. I sent mine back.
@@m.watson708 OK, got it... My Ruger LCP 22 LR does the same thing. I'll get the black version. Did you get yours online or you know of a shop that has them?
I agree on the 509 magazines. This won't be an issue. The .22LR magazines have a button on the side that lets you depress the spring as needed when loading. Most .22LR mags have this feature. Thanks for watching!
I went all .22 CZ Royale Henry 001 Ruger 6 shooter single action Glock Beretta pop up barrel small boy American Arms .22 mag mini Leopold SWEET scope on CZ Royale. So now am like what else? Not sure I would take this over my Glock, but mainly because it works fine same type of gun.
Does Chicago require something more than a CCL to legally carry? I thought I heard something about that but wasn't sure. I work out there sometimes unfortunately. An I carry. Just don't want any legal issues if I ever needed to use it. Hopefully will never have too.
@@desertwolfarmory you’ve clearly never owned one. I’m giving the 502 a second chance, if it doesn’t perform I’m going back to a tx22. It makes me cringe to say it, but it’s the standard for what polymer 22 pistols should be. Runs anything you feed it for as long as you shoot it. Less than 250rds into the 502 and it’s gummed up and doesnt function. Great feeling, shoots nice when squeaky clean but it’s not as reliable or resilient.
The 502 is overpriced, and made by Umarex, a German air gun company. It only comes with one magazine, and extras are unavailable right now. I don’t see the advantage of the slide mounted optic. The reset on the trigger is long. I have the 509, and was very interested in buying a 502. Right now these are selling for over $600, and have, I think, a $479 list price. I compared the 502 to the Taurus TX22 competition, and bought the Taurus. The Taurus lists for $533, and I bought one for $459 with free shipping. Taurus corrected everything I disliked about the original TX22. Now it has capability of a barrel mounted optic ( nice because the barrel doesn’t move) , the suppressor adapter is gone, the pencil barrel has been replaced by more of a bull barrel, and the accuracy is much improved. I compared it off a rest, with my Ruger MK4. Both with Venom optics. The Taurus kept up with my Ruger from 10 to 20 yards. Giving the Ruger the edge at 20 yards, because of the Volquartsen trigger. With the addition of a Tandemkross trigger, the Taurus will be even better. Right now, the striker fired trigger is really decent. The Tandemkross trigger will have pre and over travel adjustment. Just waiting for it to arrive.
Here we are in 2024 and I just purchased a FN 502(comes with 2 magazines) for $429, Holosun red dot $310, streamlight $158 and 2 extra 15rd magazines $66. A bit over $1000 with tax. It's just going to be a plinker and used for dispatching trapped critters. Not a target gun but should work for what I need.
Horrible gun my FN 502 never did shoot. Everything that could happen did with this gun. On top of everything else the customer service is by far the worst I have ever dealt with. Parts are hard to get so if you buy this gun you better hope yours works. There are too many other good guns out there to purchase an inferior gun like this.

Just ran about 300 rounds of federal auto match through my new 502. Ran flawlessly. A few failure to feeds, but you can't blame the ammo there.
Just picked one up and LOVE it so far...some dud ammo issues but thats typical of 22 ammo...

I have trouble picking up the front site at the indoor range..Would like options.
I bought a 502 recently, cleaned it and when I went to put it back in the box and the front sight fell out! Not a single round shot yet. 😖
That front sight is easily upgraded with a swipe of a red paint pen. Or lime green nail polish.
Great video, 502 is on my wish list and this gun is made 15 minutes from my home..
The 502 is produced by Umarex in Germany, with FN license
Very in-depth review.
Note the 509 we the people holsters turn the safety off repeatedly.. looks like you need to cut back the sweat guard to keep it from happening..
I wish ANY semi auto 22 had double action as well for those dud primer strikes
You can just cock the hammer
Think the Taurus TX 22 does.

Please don’t buy a 22lr for concealed carry
Get a Smith&Wesson 500 Magnum for concealed carry, instead.
@@Sam1628 A 22 will fair just fine.
Does Chicago require something more than a CCL to legally carry? I thought I heard something about that but wasn't sure. I work out there sometimes unfortunately. An I carry. Just don't want any legal issues if I ever needed to use it. Hopefully will never have too.
@@brich5314 there are much better options
Lotta talking no Shooting no Take down instructions could’ve been a lot more versatile video
Make your own video if you are going to complain so much like a girl
@@bblwarrantydepartment981 What’s wrong with girls. That’s a pretty sexist statement
Forget about shooting this gun.. because it’s impossible to find anywhere.
* just meant as a joke..... not taking away from the video or the gun.. *
Hopefully they will be in stock again soon. I want another one! lol. Thanks for watching!
Bass pro has them now I bought mine today 499
Taurus tx 22 comp has red dot ready slide.
The Taurus has it on the barrel, not the slide.
@@desertwolfarmory you’ve clearly never owned one. I’m giving the 502 a second chance, if it doesn’t perform I’m going back to a tx22. It makes me cringe to say it, but it’s the standard for what polymer 22 pistols should be. Runs anything you feed it for as long as you shoot it. Less than 250rds into the 502 and it’s gummed up and doesnt function. Great feeling, shoots nice when squeaky clean but it’s not as reliable or resilient.
@@jtc406 My friends keyholes regularly
@@RCXDerp he should have is pistol fixed, that’s an issue with his. Not all.
The 502 is overpriced, and made by Umarex, a German air gun company. It only comes with one magazine, and extras are unavailable right now. I don’t see the advantage of the slide mounted optic. The reset on the trigger is long. I have the 509, and was very interested in buying a 502. Right now these are selling for over $600, and have, I think, a $479 list price. I compared the 502 to the Taurus TX22 competition, and bought the Taurus. The Taurus lists for $533, and I bought one for $459 with free shipping. Taurus corrected everything I disliked about the original TX22. Now it has capability of a barrel mounted optic ( nice because the barrel doesn’t move) , the suppressor adapter is gone, the pencil barrel has been replaced by more of a bull barrel, and the accuracy is much improved. I compared it off a rest, with my Ruger MK4. Both with Venom optics. The Taurus kept up with my Ruger from 10 to 20 yards. Giving the Ruger the edge at 20 yards, because of the Volquartsen trigger. With the addition of a Tandemkross trigger, the Taurus will be even better. Right now, the striker fired trigger is really decent. The Tandemkross trigger will have pre and over travel adjustment. Just waiting for it to arrive.
Here we are in 2024 and I just purchased a FN 502(comes with 2 magazines) for $429, Holosun red dot $310, streamlight $158 and 2 extra 15rd magazines $66. A bit over $1000 with tax. It's just going to be a plinker and used for dispatching trapped critters. Not a target gun but should work for what I need.
Horrible gun my FN 502 never did shoot. Everything that could happen did with this gun. On top of everything else the customer service is by far the worst I have ever dealt with. Parts are hard to get so if you buy this gun you better hope yours works. There are too many other good guns out there to purchase an inferior gun like this.
Less talking , how about shooting it !
you can't be serious
