#9mm ammo for sale okc serial number

Our test 509, serial number GKS0001514, exhibited “creep” as noted by all on the test team. There’s pace, and perhaps most important, smoothness. There’s more to trigger pull-quality than weight, of course.

I suspect the factory (like most) took the measurement low on the trigger, where greater leverage requires less pressure. Measured at the toe, the bottom tip of the trigger, the Lyman digital gauge from Brownell’s registered an average of 6.5 pounds, right in the middle of FN’s stated range. This one turned out to average 8.85 pounds when weighed at the center, where the shooter’s trigger finger generally lies. It felt more like the 8-pound range to me, but we always weigh the triggers anyway. Even with my old arthritic hands, it was no problem loading it all the way up, or thumbing rounds out of a full magazine to change ammo.įN specifies the trigger pull as 5.5 to 7.5 pounds.

It inserts smoothly and falls free cleanly. The all-metal magazine (our sample came with two) holds 17 rounds of 9mm to back up the one in the chamber. This pistol is proudly “Made In USA,” specifically in Columbia, South Carolina. Its long grip makes its 4-inch barrel and proportional length slide look short (picture a Glock 19 upper on a Glock 17 frame, and you’ll have an idea of the proportions). Like most of its genre, the 509 is a blocky-looking pistol. The polymer FN pistols have already been winning major matches in the hands of FN’s sponsored world champion shooter Dave Sevigny, and Dave was quite high on the 509 when I discussed it with him at one of the shows a few months ago. FN’s 509, essentially an improvement over the FNS introduced about 3 years ago, joins the legion of polymer Parabellum pistols vying for the market established and dominated by Glock.
