The Optics-Ready FN 510 and 545 MRD Offer Pinpoint Control and Accuracy

FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the release of the striker-fired FN 510 MRD and 545 MRD optics-ready big bore pistols. With dimensions just slightly larger than an FN 509, these two big bore pistols are ideal for users who want to carry with a lot more stopping power. The pistols feature 15+1 rounds of 10mm or .45ACP at the ready, a target-grade 6-pound trigger pull with crisp break, and the company’s patented optics mount that enables enhanced accuracy, making them the perfect tool for personal and home defense. Harness the stopping power of these big bore calibers and be ready to face any situation that may come.

“Following the overwhelmingly positive response to the FN 510 and 545 Tactical, which released in January, we received customer feedback requesting models in these calibers with flush-fit barrels, day sights and magazines that were more carry-friendly, as well as accessible in states that restrict threaded barrels or capacity,” said Chris Cole, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FN America, LLC. “These MRD models, following the successful formula of the FN 509 MRD models, feature our patented optics mounting technology in a 15-round grip frame optimized for accuracy and shootability.”

The FN 510 and 545 MRD feature a flush-fit, 4.1-inch barrel housed within a machined steel slide with front and rear cocking serrations for ease of manipulation. The barrels are cold hammer-forged with a recessed target crown to extend accuracy and a polished feed ramp to ensure reliable feeding of the majority of commercially available loads in both 10mm and .45ACP.

July 2023 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,023,903 is a decrease of 17.0 percent compared to the July 2022 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,233,115.

For comparison, the unadjusted July 2023 FBI NICS figure 1,987,650 reflects a 15.7 percent decrease from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,358,150 in July 2022. July 2023 marks the 48th month in a row, 4 years, that has exceeded 1 million adjusted background checks in a single month.

Please note: Twenty-four states currently have at least one qualified alternative permit, which under the Brady Act allows the permit-holder, who has undergone a background check to obtain the permit, to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without a separate additional background check for that transfer. The number of NICS checks in these states does not include these legal transfers based on qualifying permits and NSSF does not adjust for these transfers. Read more

Choke tubes are the cheat codes for downing birds, whether they are clay pigeons on the sporting clays course or fast moving doves in a sunflower field. Choke tubes give you an advantage – when selected correctly – in delivering the best pattern in the right spot at the right time.

The right spot, right time part is actually your responsibility. Not the choke’s.

Choke tubes, for those not too familiar with this shotgun accessory, screw into the muzzle end of the shotgun’s barrel and the constriction of the choke determines the pattern, or spread of the lead shot, at distance. You would open up the constriction, maybe going to a Cylinder choke for fast moving, close in targets, or tighten the constriction with a Modified or Full choke to have your shot open up farther out for a distant target.

And there is a wide range of choke tubes available from aftermarket companies. From the factory your shotgun will come with chokes, usually three but sometimes more. This assumes your shotgun is cut for chokes. Some tactical shotguns are simply smooth all the way through and are what we’d consider Cylinder. Read more
