Cybergun FN Herstal FN 509® Tactical GBB Pistol

If you like to lead the pack when it comes to modern sidearms, the Cybergun FN Herstal FN 509® Tactical GBB Pistol belongs in your holster. The latest service pistol design from firearms legends FN Herstal, the 509 boasts ambidextrous controls, an optics-ready slide, a threaded outer barrel and a 20mm Picatinny frame rail. Make no mistake, this beast is mission-ready!

Being licensed by FN Herstal via Cybergun, the FN 509® boasts authentic trademarks across the design, including flawlessly engraved slide markings and FN Herstal logo stamps on either side of the grip. Inside, we are treated to a dual recoil spring and dual nozzle spring for enhanced recoil and a boost in cyclic speed, along with steel sears and a steel disconnector to guarantee long-term reliability. If you like slick, modern sidearms which stand out, you'll love the Cybergun FN Herstal FN 509® Tactical GBB Pistol!

Starting at the front, we can find a knurled thread protector covering the 14mm CCW male outer barrel threading. This means you can kit the FN 509 out with a tracer or suppressor of your choice, though we recommend sticking to the shortest and lightest devices you can find to preserve gas efficiency. The outer barrel itself is made from alloy and is a tilting design similar to the legendary Glock platform. 

The slide itself features dynamic angled serrations at the front and rear, allowing you to easily manipulate the slide in wet weather or when wearing gloves. On the left side, we are treated to an engraved FN logo roundel, with "509" engraved just aft. These markings perfectly match the real deal, giving us the realism we expect from a licensed Cybergun platform. 

The pre-installed sights are suppressor-height open sights, allowing you to get a clear sight picture even when you're running a tracer or suppressor. The sights include light-enhancing inserts, with a red insert in the front sight and green inserts in the rear sight, ensuring you'll never mix the sight dots up when shooting rapidly under pressure. Included in the box, we have a set of low-profile iron sights, also equipped with light-enhancing inserts. These are fantastic for those who prefer a "service pistol" look and also allow broader compatibility with polymer universal holsters. 

The adjustable HOP-up of the FN 509 boasts an AAP-01-style adjuster, which is accessible through the ejection port with the slide locked open. With the slide locked back, you'll find the adjuster on the left side of the chamber/outer barrel. If you've got sausage fingers, you might find a small tool helpful for accessing the gear-style adjuster, though you can also field strip the pistol for easier HOP-up access. 

At the rear of the slide, just in front of the rear sight, we can find the red dot sight cutout, granting the slide its "optics-ready" state. The set also includes an RMR footprint mounting plate so you can mount an RMR-style red dot reflex sight for fast target acquisition, even in low-light environments. 

The pre-installed red dot cutout cover plate includes protective wings for the raised rear sight, which also serve as a one-handed cocking aid, allowing you to rack the pistol by bracing the wings on your belt, a pocket, a mag pouch or practically anything else. If you're running the low-profile sight set, you'll be happy to learn that the set also includes a wingless cover plate to replace the winged one intended for the suppressor height sights. 

Moving down to the frame, we can find a full 20mm Picatinny rail on the dust cover, ideally placed for a tactical flashlight or laser aiming module. This full rail has the advantage of providing 4 rail slots for mounting and maintains the proper Picatinny profile, providing broader compatibility with accessories than the usual single slot pistol rail. Above the rail on the right side of the frame, we can find "Licensed by FN Herstal" in discrete recessed text. 

Behind the frame rail, we come to the trigger guard, which is an enlarged design ideal for gloved shooters, a similar shape to that of the FN FNX-45. The trigger itself is a "two-stage" safety trigger similar to that of M&P pistols, preventing the pistol from discharging if the lower section of the trigger is not pressed. 

The magazine release is an impressive innovation; an ambidextrous push-through button which works from either side, without needing to swap parts. This makes the FN 509 a superb choice for left-handed shooters who don't want to be at an ergonomic disadvantage running a sidearm. The mag release is protected from accidental activation with a raised "fence" around it and has texture on its surface for ease of use in wet weather conditions. 

The pistol grip is a super comfortable ergonomic shape, including pyramidal texture on the sides, serrations on the front and rear and a stippled section functioning as a thumb index point. With the FN 509 held in a firing grip, the pistol feels positively locked in your hands, with texture where needed for superb gripping qualities. Like other modern semi-automatic pistol designs, the backstrap of the grip is removable and can be swapped out for the included slim backstrap, ideal for users with smaller hands. 

Whether you're after a less common sidearm packed with modern features or you collect licensed replicas and don't yet have a 509, Cybergun's FN Herstal FN 509® Tactical GBB Pistol will be an asset to your arsenal. A top-notch build with impressive recoil and plenty of extra bits included in the box, the FN 509® is FN's Glock killer!
