@tumble my only real grip with the FNX is the mag release

have to depress it too deeply for my preference

and there is a weird issue with the mags occasionally getting caught on the mag catch when inserting them

Hm

@Punished Ggnome met with my local knife guy

I’ve really like FN generally.
Any reason I’ve seen a lot of people hate on the 509? Is it really bad?

those are pretty dope

I havent heard anyone hating on the 509

Sage dynamics and Mr gunsngear love theirs

MAC had some issues

I haven’t heard one thing bad about the 509 personally

I just don't like the fact that you have to change the recoil springs to run suppressed

But they’re not quite common

Really? That’s a breath of fresh air.

@MAC21500 that’s not at all uncommon

my CZ P09 doesn't have any issues

I've heard glocks don't suppress as well

but that was news to me

Think of it from a physics standpoint

You’re adding mass to a moving component waaay out from where it pivots

Also, you’re changing the recoil impulse

I get that

but I haven't seen two recoil springs provided for any other suppressor ready pistols before

my FNX has one

my CZ has one, so does my glock

all factory suppressor ready

It means that FN tested it and decided that a second spring was warranted

It’s actually a good sign

not saying it isn't

but I'd be more impressed if it worked without needing one

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re not wrong

yea

i hear ya

i suppose if you were to run them suppressed 100% of the time

it'd be better to change out the springs to reduce wear

@Innaswamp That's a fine piece.

those handles are sex

as is the damascus blade, love the profile

He didn't have his signature handle this time
