FN 509 LS Edge: The Breakdown | First Mag Review

About this video

Colion interviews FN’s product manager Tom Victor about the FN 509 LS Edge handgun. Together they discuss the design features Colion believes contribute to accuracy, control, speed, and versatility, including the trigger break angle, grip texture, slide cuts, magwell, and co-witnessed optics. Colion frames the gun as a home defense/duty pistol that he argues offers aftermarket-level performance at a factory price point.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that the 509 LS Edge features a trigger breaking at 90 degrees, which he says helps maintain sight alignment and improve accuracy by reducing disturbance during the trigger press.
• Colion describes how the aggressive grip texture, slide lightening cuts, and optimized center of gravity work together to reduce muzzle flip and aid in control and follow-up shot speed.
• Colion highlights the gun’s versatility, noting the optics-ready slide with co-witnessed fiber optic sights allows shooters to transition between red dot and iron sights depending on distance and comfort level.
