Frequently Asked Questions
FN America FN 509 for sale
Is the FN 509 a good gun?
The FN 509 is a reliable, well-regarded striker-fired pistol suited for duty and defensive use. It comes in full-size, midsize, and compact frames with 10–24 round capacity. Prices typically range from $759–$958, and it's widely available through 20+ retailers.
What are common FN 509 problems?
Reported issues include trigger stiffness, slide stop malfunctions, occasional feeding problems, and notably, firing pin breakage on the FN 509 Tactical, which can cause intermittent or complete failure to fire. Many feeding and trigger issues resolve after a break-in period with standard ammunition. Inspect the firing pin regularly for wear or damage.
What is the price range of an FN 509?
FN 509 pistols typically cost around $914 on our marketplace, with most listings falling between $759 and $958. MSRP starts at $639. Prices vary based on model variant (full-size, compact, or midsize) and retailer, with over 20 retailers currently stocking this pistol.
Can you conceal carry a FN 509?
Yes. FN designed the 509 series with concealed carry in mind. The compact variant suits IWB carry best, the midsize at 7.4 inches overall length offers a strong concealed carry option, and the full-size works for larger-framed carriers. A quality holster is essential regardless of which variant you choose.
What is the difference between FN 509 and FN 509 tactical?
FN 509 Tactical adds a threaded 4.5-inch barrel for suppressors, an integrated optics mounting plate for red dots, raised protective sight wings, and accepts 24-round magazines. The standard FN 509 has a shorter 4-inch barrel, no optics mounting system, and lacks suppressor-ready threading.
Is the FN 509 a full size pistol?
Yes, FN offers a full-size 509 model alongside compact and midsize variants. The full-size 509 features a 4.0-inch barrel with a duty-sized slide and frame. It is comparable in size to the HK VP9 and S&W M&P Full Size.
