The FN 509 LS Edge delivers enhanced accuracy and versatility through its extended 5-inch barrel and competition-ready features. This striker-fired pistol combines FN's military-proven reliability with precision enhancements that elevate performance beyond standard duty pistols.
What Makes This Different
The LS Edge features FN's Low-Profile Optics Mounting System that co-witnesses with suppressor-height night sights, eliminating the guesswork of aftermarket modifications. The extended 5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel increases sight radius by 0.75 inches compared to standard models, while the enhanced trigger system reduces pull weight to approximately 5.5-6.5 pounds. These factory improvements deliver sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards straight from the box.
