The pistol’s adapter plates mount directly to the top of the slide, and the gun comes with plates and screws to accommodate most popular red dots. The plates exist solely to mate the profile of the red dot to the profile of the slide and are just sandwiched between the red dot and slide. The company provides different adapter plates and the necessary screws, but the screws securing the red dot go straight from the optic, through the adapter plate, into the slide. You also get a plastic blister pack with 12 pouches containing everything you need to mount the red dot of your choice on this pistol, including a reference guide to let you know which plate works with which optic.įN’s MRD optics mounting system allows you to mount the red dot directly to the slide of your pistol, which is a more reliable system. A lot of people don’t notice or care about a trigger this heavy, but this is an FYI for those of you who do.Ī nice, padded, zippered case that has an internal pocket large enough for a spare magazine ships with the pistol. The pull on my sample was 6.75 pounds, but by the time I weighed it I’d already put more than 500 rounds through it at a media event, and I’m sure it lightened up and smoothed out with that use. Of all the newer polymer-framed striker-fired pistols on the market, its trigger pull is just about the heaviest-with the official specs calling for a pull between 5.5 and 7.5 pounds. ![]() While I really like the looks and features of the 509C MRD, the only thing I don’t like about the 509 series is the trigger pull. ![]() The black controls contrast nicely with the flat dark earth finish. With the 509C MRD, FN has changed the trigger profile to more of a flat face, although Tarr thought the pull was excessively heavy. FN also offers 10-round magazines for those living in restrictive states. The shorter magazine has a finger-hook extension and holds 12 rounds the extended 15-round magazine features a grip sleeve. The frame on the 509C MRD is roughly a half-inch shorter than that of the full-size 509. The new 509C MRD pairs a 3.7-inch barrel with an even shorter frame. It was followed by the 509 Tactical that had an extended threaded 4.5-inch barrel and then the 509 Midsize, which combined the original’s four-inch barrel with a shorter frame that took flush-fitting 15-round magazines. military’s Modular Handgun System contract-had a four-inch barrel and a frame long enough to accommodate a flush-fitting 17-round magazine. The original 509-which started out life as a submission for the U.S. It’s smaller than the original duty-size 509 but not subcompact-small because FN wanted this pistol big enough to accommodate any slide-mounted optic and any standard weapon light. The newest version of FN’s 509 pistols series, the 509C MRD is a compact pistol (hence the “C” in its designation) that’s capable of mounting a mini red dot (hence the “MRD”). It’s a striker-fired, polymer-frame 9mm with an accessory rail it’s the right size for concealment it’s red-dot ready it comes with interchangeable backstraps and it’s available in black and a color other than black. If there is an official industry list of hot trends in pistols, FN’s new 509C MRD checks every box. ![]()
