FN 509 Midsize Tactical 9mm — 4.5 in Threaded Barrel, Optics-Cut Slide, Suppressor-Height Sights, 24+1 Capacity
This FN 509 Midsize Tactical stands out with a 4.5 in cold hammer-forged stainless barrel threaded 1/2x28, an optics-cut slide, and suppressor-height iron sights. It comes in excellent condition with four 24-round magazines, one 15-round magazine, and FN’s Low-Profile Optics-Mounting System plates and hardware. The pistol is marked FN Columbia, SC USA and includes the factory box, FN soft case, manual, and a spare backstrap.
The slide features front and rear serrations with a matte black finish and the FN oval crest. The rear sight is mounted on the optics cover plate, while the front sight uses a white insert for a clear sight picture. A serial number plate with QR/DataMatrix is located on the dustcover underside for modern identification.
Controls include an ambidextrous slide stop and a left-side magazine release. The striker-fired action pairs with a flat-faced trigger and a trigger blade safety. The black polymer frame uses aggressive grip texture and interchangeable backstraps to tailor the fit. A MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail on the dustcover supports lights or other compatible accessories.
Capacity is 24+1 with the included extended magazines, and the package provides four FN 509-series factory steel 24-round mags plus one 15-round mag. The overall configuration delivers a ready-to-equip platform with the included optics-mounting plates and hardware.
