I own several FN. This isn't my favorite. But I bought it for concealment. It sits very close to my body. I'm 6' so my hands prefer the 8 round mag. But I can work the 6 round. Considering what it is meant for. It does it's job.

Considering these types of guns sell like crazy right now...I'm sure FN will sell a boat load of them! They are a little late to the game..but probably a smart business decision. A lot of FN fans out there! Thank you LAV for everything you do! ✌️

Wow that little FN is a quality gun it really feels good in the hand

Going to order this tonight. Have the fns40c and really want this for better concealment. Thanks for the straight to the point video.

FN makes some good weapons .I have a FNS9C, and love it. I like the new 503.Hope to find one to buy.Always enjoy,and respect your videos.

Looks like it offers everything you need for a CC subcompact and nothing more. As long as the price point is friendly, ergonomics are acceptable and material quality is up to the usual FN standards, then this will be a competitive offering that only adds to the viable options on the market. This is looking like a brand-name handgun option. Good move from FN to get this out there. More options are always appreciated. Great review as always. Brief, informative and engaging.

Hey this is the pistol that Jaime just got as a gift from Tim Kennedy.

It's a cool pistol. So many manufacturer's came out with small size single stack polymer guns after Walther introduced the first variant of the PPS.

I've got a Walther PPS in 40 cal and I have been very pleased with it. This one is pretty sweet!!

Little late to the game on this one FN. P365XL and hellcat has you beat.. however, the FN 509C Tactical is FANTASTIC! It’s my EDC

Was that the bullet trace on the last shot? That was some slo-mo! Very useful video from a pro! I have been considering glock 43 vs the FN. this was very helpful. Now I have got to try them!

Larry needs to do a video for the G48 MOS with those 15 round mags.

Seems like a really cool tiny gun! Looks like it has pretty mild recoil and a nice trigfer pull. The 6 round mag is reasonable for personal protection, anything more than 6 shots and you have a serious problem.

I’m hoping you read this is there anyway to put a light on the 503 I just bought one and I was curious to know if there was an adapter piece in order to put a light like a TLR7 on it

I’m selling mines. I carry with one in the chamber. So when I get home to put my 503 in my safe. I clear my gun before doing so. When you press the magazine release to drop the magazine a bullet immediately falls out before ejecting the round that’s in the chamber. That’s a big problem for me and it happens not just once here and there, it’s literally every time.

At my work we sell tons of S&W Shields, both 1.0 and 2.0's over P365's and Hellcats. While objectively I believe that the P365 and Hellcat are better guns sometimes it comes down to whats in a somebody's wallet. If the FN is priced accordingly, it will do ok. Hell, people still buy Glock 43's and they were also a good but higher in cost than many other single stacks at the time and now they're about on par in pricing with P365's and Hellcats.

Christopher you’re right, if FN can get the price down in the $300 range like the shield then it will do ok, but if it’s on the higher end of other pistols in its class I don’t see why someone wouldn’t go 365, hellcat, or even 43x.

@chrismaverick9828

One thing to remember is that most encounters are supposedly over in three shots or less. That means you still have five more in the FN, and seven to ten more in the P365. If you want more rounds, that's great, but how many are you going to use, and how many do you need before you stop feeling "under-gunned"? If you can handle the 365 or Hellcat, great! The difference between the feel and carry of a single-stack that is slightly larger than a competing smaller double can be an issue for some. Both are fine platforms, I don't think there is an issue with either one. Neither was designed for extended shootouts. Truth is that we live in a time where the market is so flooded with options that it is difficult to make a choice. At the end of the day, finding what works and is comfortable for you is all that matters. And shot placement. Shot placement always matters more than round count.

Nice small thing for backup

With the sexy lines & styling of the 509 & the innovation with the optics mounting from FN, I was really looking for something more out of this gun... give it some front cocking serrations, an optics plate, a rail and a stack n’ a half mag & you’d have something that would compete with the bigger players, but this is just adding to the crowd

It may be soft shooting with target ammo, but how does it fare with warm defensive ammo? That's what matters.

Industry and professionals, "red dots, lights, capacity and still very concealable". FN, "we made a Sig P290 striker fired"

To say that "a lot of the guns in this class are brutal to shoot" is a bit of a stretch. While some of the older offerings, Kahr, Keltec, Ruger to name a few were snappy in this size, the Glock, SIG, M&P and Springfield offerings are quite soft shooting for the size.
