Every high-performance design feature was added to give you ultimate control, so it handles well in the toughest environments. If you are in the market for a new handgun, this is your best option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FN 509 line of handguns has a reputation for accuracy and reliability in the field. The pistol is manufactured to strict quality standards set by FN Herstal. The polymer frame is durable and textured on all sides for increased grip and superior control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pistol\u2019s ergonomic design means that it feels perfectly comfortable in your hand no matter what shooting posture you use. The ergonomic grip is virtually indestructible and comfortable enough to use all day long without discomfort or fatigue. The pistol\u2019s reversible magazine release button lets left-handers easily manipulate the controls of the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FN 509 LS Edge Tactical\u2019s trigger pull is extremely crisp and smooth, especially when compared to other similar handguns in the same price range. It has the shortest reset time of any striker-fired handgun on the market today. However, although functioning better than most other striker-fired guns on the market, it does suffer a bit due to the three stops it makes before firing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pistol comes with complete ambidextrous controls for easy operation by right-handed or left-handed shooters alike. All operating controls are recessed so they can only be accessed if you press them intentionally; they cannot be bumped accidentally when carried in a holster or pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide stop lever and magazine release button are both reversible, giving users maximum flexibility in carrying the pistol either open or concealed depending on their preferences (or local laws). They are also adjustable for a positive, repeatable grip on the slide and to ensure the magazine drops free from the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tactical version of this handgun has an extended Picatinny rail that allows you to install accessories like tactical or night sights for faster target acquisition in low light situations. It features 3-dot steel sights with a vented front sight for maximum accuracy and visibility. Although you have the option of upgrading the sights, the standard sights are perfectly accurate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fixed barrel ensures there are no moving parts other than the trigger that could affect your aim. This means you will get a consistent point of impact (POI) shot after shot, just as you would expect when using a competition pistol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the FN 509 LS Edge Tactical is an excellent all-rounder and if you are looking for a new handgun, it\u2019s definitely worth considering. Whether you are using it for self-defense purposes or for competition shooting, it\u2019s always reliable, comfortable to use, and gives you excellent accuracy and control. Although there are a few small issues with the trigger function, these downsides are heavily outweighed by the overall performance of the pistol. It\u2019s a bit more expensive than other pistols on the market, but it\u2019s worth paying extra for the FN 509 LS Edge Tactical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FN 509 LS Edge Tactical handgun is one of the best tactical pistols on the market right now.
