Billed by FN as the “smallest and most concealable tactical pistol available,” the new FN 509 Compact Tactical is an optics- and suppressor-ready 9mm in a tiny package.
Using the company’s new 509 series action, the new pistol in the lineup has a 4.3-inch cold hammer-forged threaded barrel in a much more compact frame than the standard FN Tactical series guns. While just 7.4-inches overall and weighing in at 26.2-ounces, it still packs the ability right out of the box to mount a wide array of aftermarket compensators or suppressors while carrying suppressor-height Trijicon 3-dot green Tritium night sights.
The FN 509 Compact Tactical can be easily deployed as an everyday carry with the standard 12- or 15-round magazines or on the range with the extended 24-round magazine, giving 51 rounds of ammunition at the ready. Two 24-rounders for backup and a 12-round mag in the pistol, stresses FN, allows you to go from “0 to 60 in three mags.” (Photos: FN)
