The FN 509 LS Edge delivers competition-grade accuracy straight from the box with its factory-mounted Vortex Viper red dot sight. This full-size striker-fired pistol combines FN's military-proven reliability with enhanced ergonomics and precision components designed for serious shooters.
What Makes This Different
The LS Edge variant features a cold hammer-forged barrel with enhanced rifling that consistently produces sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards. Unlike standard polymer-framed pistols, the 509 LS Edge includes an integrated optics mounting system machined directly into the slide, eliminating the need for adapter plates. The included Vortex Viper red dot comes pre-zeroed from the factory, reducing setup time and ensuring immediate accuracy.
