The 509T and 509ct are by far, the best striker fired pistols I've owned. Looks like I might need to add a 545T to the stable.

The FNP was a POS and replaced by the FNX.
The FNX had its own issues. Modern FN has a history of short runs and model changes on their handgun designs. |

I've got the FNX45 tactical and a FNX9 with a threaded barrel. I got the 509 tactical hoping for the best. Its not that impressive. Even did the apex trigger. Still nothing to write home about.
I'm not overly excited about these new striker guns. The FNX is more better. |

I like it. I've been looking at getting into the 10mm game and have had nothing but good stuff with my FNX-45 Tac. I like the balance of the longer grip in relation to the slide, which should add some additional control. This in a drop-leg is a good amount of firepower. I'd imaging some hardcast would be a significant bear deterrent. I assume it'll be around $1500.

The problem is that it's a ~$800 gun that costs $1,400. Unless these 510s and 545s have amazing triggers or something, they're going to flop hard competing against Glocks, Sigs, and M&Ps while costing several hundred dollars more. If anything, I'd say the FNX-45T is a more viable product on the market than the striker fired 545 because it actually has traits to differentiate it from the market. |

The 510 is on gunbroker for $1140. Standard mags hold 15 like most others do. I’ll stick with Glock and maybe pick up a used one in 5 years.

Nice! Not sure I want to take a 25% reduction in velocity and power by stepping down to wimpy 10mm from my glorious FNX .40-Super but the extra capacity might be nice.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are hammer fired guns more reliable then striker? One ignition type isn't inherently more reliable than the other. Striker also isn't an action type; striker guns can be DAO, SAO, DA/SA, and Glock type pretensioned single action. Just like how hammer guns come in DAO, DA/SA, SAO, and the one-offs like DAK and LEM. |
