FN 509: Originally Built for the Army, Now Ready for Civilians

Good article,
I held one in the store, I wasn't loving the grip. But I really like the FNS grip, which is strange since the 509 is based off of it.

that gun looks bad ass though

Yeah it's got an aggressive, 'all business' look to it that's cool

Looks like another solid option.

"Built for the Army but it flunked the trials" is more like it.
Same goes for all the Improved Individual Carbine types on the market. Tagline should be "better than an AR......... but not $2000 better".

Was it even submitted for the Trials ? I know lots of guns are "made" for the trials but they never made the trip,,LOL I think the new Ruger American was one also. I think they REALLY wanted the modular ability of the Sig for what its worth and no one else had that. Anyways I had a FNS 9 and loved it but sold it for other projects. I have strongly considered getting one of these,I have heard good things about them.

Looks like all the rest of the Polymer guns on the market. A few small differences, but all the same.

Looks like a high bore axis. I'd have to hold one myself.
