My LGS has a used midsized for sale in really nice condition, looks brand new, in the neighborhood of $500. I'm very tempted considering the condition of the gun and the fact that it feels REALLY GOOD in my hands. Small bonus, it comes with a kydex owb holster and a holosun Osight green dot.

Anyone have/had one? Looking for good, bad, indifferent. Would you buy it again?

Thanks y'all

I got the original FN 509 from Arms Unlimited for $349. I used it as a duty gun.

It was my best shooter before the PDP and VP9. I felt very confident making shots 0-15 yards.

I won a 509 mrd, has an rmr on it now.

It's very accurate, feels good in my hand, and takes 15, 17, and 24rnd mags.

I have one.  It came with the rebate light with the FN logo on it which is kinda cool.

The only shitty thing about the gun is the trigger.  Its a generic striker fired staple gun trigger.  You can feel it before you commit to buying it. If you can live with the trigger, then FO.
I put the apex trigger in mine.  Its better but still not great.

And RE buying a used kydex holster.  I dont know man.  Some other dude had that thing jammed down the front of his pants.  I'd pony up the $20 for a new one before I rode sloppy seconds on a used holster.    Maybe OWB isn't quite as bad as IWB.  But still.  Holsters ain't that much.
