FN 509 LS Edge

[Stickman]

Anyone else had a chance to put rounds through one?

Didn't even know it was being mfg. I'd like to bang on one. Ported, Flat trigger must be more of a competition gun.

Weird gun.

Lots of nice features but I dont really understand where that thing is slotted to be "popular". The magwell precludes it from being accepted as a Carry Optics pistol, at least for now.

I have zero interest in carrying that on duty due to the open slide.

I will say that the flat trigger, magwell and grip texture are nice additions to the 509 line that will hopefully carry over to some of their other products.

Lastly, at approximately 1500 for that...HAHAHAHHAHAH, no.

Too bad you aren't closer, I would loan it to you to go play with.

I've had 6 or 7 people handle and/ or shoot this so far. All have commented that it feels "better" than a Glock 17. All have stated that it feels "good". In this grouping, I've had several people with large hands, as well as several smaller female shooters with small hands. I need to get hand measurements if possible so as to give people reading this a better idea how their own hands fall into this test group.

I'm going to try and give updates with perspective from multiple shooters as well as pics to illustrate those points.

A lot of guns feels better in the hand than the glock 17. Looks like it was intended for USPSA.

Seems like I've heard that a time or two before when new pistols are released.

I don't know what it was intended for. I hope that FN knows something or somebody because magwells are a no-go in two USPSA divisions where this gun can compete. Maybe Dave Sevigny talked to someone.

I presume that the magwell is removable but with it removed the frame will be at a compact / G19 length. That would be rather unappealing for USPSA.

No porting, but I can see where threaded barrels and ported versions will be made by the aftermarket community.

Apex has a pic showing a TB for the LS model but it's not for sale on their site yet.
