Optics-Ready FN 509 Tactical
One of the defining features of the FN 509 Tactical is FN America’s Low-Profile Optics Mounting System. The factory mounting system supports a variety of compatible miniature red-dot optics without requiring the slide to be directly milled.
Suppressor-height night sights allow the iron sights to remain visible with many compatible optics installed. When an optic is not mounted, a protective slide cap covers the mounting area.
Always verify optic, plate, screw, and firearm compatibility using the current instructions from FN and the optic manufacturer.
Threaded 4.5-Inch Barrel
The FN 509 Tactical uses a 4.5-inch cold hammer-forged stainless-steel barrel with a recessed target crown.
The muzzle is threaded 1/2″ x 28 and includes a thread protector with an integrated O-ring. FN America designed the configuration to accommodate compatible muzzle accessories while protecting the barrel threads when they are not in use.
Firearm and accessory compatibility should always be confirmed with the applicable manufacturers before use.
