The trigger pull has been reduced by 1.5 lbs. According to Thomas Victa, they were able to lighten up the trigger pull while still maintaining duty gun safety. The 509 LS Edge has a factory-made flat face trigger.
#FN 509 LS EDGE FULL SIZE#
Here is the length difference between a full size 509 and the LS Edge. You can flip the mag release if you want it on the other side for those who shoot left-handed. Dave Sevigny has seen inadvertent magazines released especially when your support hand grips high up on the gun sometimes your support fingers can hit the mag release. At the media event, I ran an LS Edge with a Leupold Delta Point Pro.įor the sake of competition, they deleted the ambidextrous side of the mag release. The reason for the tall sights on the LS Edge is so the irons can co-witness any red dot. No night sights on the 509 LS Edge since it is mainly a competition pistol. The rear iron sight is an almost identical copy of the tactical rear sight only it lacks tritium vials.
To be honest, I have never tried that and was surprised how well it worked, and later I used that technique in a match. During the pistol course, Tim had us mentally switch between the red dot and green fiber front sight between shot strings. Dave Sevigny and Tim Kennedy deliberately chose the front optic to be green so it contrasts against the red dot. The front sight has a green fiber optic dot that has a large channel to let in as much light as possible. They are tall just like the tactical suppressor sights, however, these are slightly altered for competition use. The sights are a slight variant of their tactical iron sights.
They also function as front slide serrations. The cuts actually help reduce weight on the 509 LS Edge slide so it weighs the same as a regular 509 slide. The slide is coated in Graphite PVD and has angled slide cuts that are both aesthetic and functional. The first thing you will notice is that it is a long slide and features a 5″ barrel.
#FN 509 LS EDGE SERIES#
It is a performance-focused version of the 509 series handguns. Thomas Victa, Pistol Product Manager at FN America, compared the 509 LS Edge to a BMW M-Series. The FN 509 LS Edge has some striking features.
