Description

The FN 509 Compact delivers full-size performance in a concealed carry package, featuring a 3.7-inch barrel and dual magazine capacity options. This striker-fired pistol combines FN's military heritage with modern ergonomics for reliable daily carry.

Unlike standard compact pistols, the FN 509 Compact features an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release, accommodating both left and right-handed shooters without modification. The low-profile optics mounting system accepts popular red dot sights directly to the slide without adapter plates. FN's cold hammer-forged barrel provides match-grade accuracy typically found in competition pistols.

The 509 Compact maintains sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition, making it suitable for both concealed carry and competitive shooting.
