The optics mount accepts the majority of MRD’s on the market with no need to direct mill the slide, allowing for a low-profile mount and co-witness with iron sights. The slide cap, for use when not shooting with an optic, has raised sight wings that protect iron sight alignment if the pistol is dropped or jostled, and provides a textured ramp for racking the slide against a belt loop, pant pocket or boot.
The FN 509 MRD joins the FN 509 law enforcement-specific line-up alongside the new Training and Simunition® pistols released last year. Agencies interested in the FN 509 MRD should contact le@fnamerica.com for a price quote. The pistol will be on display at the company’s 2019 SHOT Show® Booth, #13662, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22-25, 2019.
