Is FN better than HK?

The overall feeling of the HK VP9 is a little bit better than the FN 509. It just feels better in the hand. That said, the FN 509 is still a very ergonomic handgun. For me, I seem to be able to grip it a little bit tighter than the HK VP9.

Is the FN 9mm a good gun?

As far as the overall feel of the grip, it’s absolutely excellent. It feels smaller than most guns, but even people with larger hands are able to get a pretty good grip on the gun.

Are FN guns reliable?

By all accounts, the FN 509 is a boringly reliable pistol. Marketing materials for the pistol emphasize that over one million rounds were fired through pistols during testing. However, it is competing in a very crowded field.

Is FN 509 worth the money?

The combo looks good, the finish is unbelievably durable, and it is lots better than black. I had a chance to test the 509 when it first came out, and it was impressive. The fit, feel and the trigger were all very good, not just for a striker-fired pistol, but good in the overall comparison. Why did FN do all this?

Does FN 509 Tactical have a safety?

While the 509 does not feature a manual safety, it does make use of four passive safety systems—a striker block, a drop safety, a trigger disconnect and a trigger safety lever—which prevent the pistol from firing unless the trigger is deliberately pulled and the slide assembly is in battery.

The M18 is comparably compact, using the exact same frame as the M17 version yet its grip is smaller. Furthermore, the M17 has a shorter slide and a 3.9-inch barrel. The M17 is outfitted with a standard 17 round magazine along with two extended 21 round versions.

What is the difference between HK and Walther pistols?

The HK and Walther pistols use 15-round magazines while the rest use 17-round magazines.

This means that the HK is the only gun in the shootout with an external hammer.

Are the FN sights too high or too low?

The FN’s sights were high and large for fast acquisitions and transitions between targets. None of us are fans of white-three-dot sights, so the HK and S&W both lost points. Two shooters felt the Sig’s sights were too low.
