FN 509 .22 cal
Anyone pick one of these up? I saw a couple write ups on them, and they look interesting. Been wanting a suppressed .22 handgun. Was leaning toward a Ruger, but then I saw this. LGS has ten on order, no idea when they will see them. Any thoughts on it would be appreicated.

Every review I’ve seen or read says they are fantastic.

FN 502. I've had one, black, for about 3 months. Took about 150 rounds to break in but now it seems to digest everything. Trigger is pretty good for plastic. It is SAO. I put a holsun on mine. Fairly accurate but not a target pistol.
No extra magazines available yet.

I too have seen a couple write ups in gunmags for these.
I have 2 FN 509 midsize. And it is my EDC.
Thinking this may be a good addition to the herd.
Practising with .22 is cheaper for sure

One has yet to come into my LGS.
It will be mine when one does.

Can you dial in "fairly accurate". Can you give me an idea on group size at a given distance?

My sales rep has one that I got to shoot, fantastic little pistol.

The 502 caught my eye looking for a 22 suppressor host. Any more feedback on these from the forum in a years time?

Been wanting to dump my Mosquito, and the 502 looks perfect. Only question is do we know what the slide is made of? I've read steel, solid aluminum, and one source hinted it was ZAMAC.

Nice gun. Mine shoots well. Bought it to train a couple people to shoot.

Obviously not made by FN, but Umarex is fine for rimfires.

I absolutely love the 502. I shoot it weekly and with a suppressor, the fun never stops.

It does not like segmenting 22's (i.e. Winchester Varmint HE or their Silvertips).

Everything else I have feed it (which is a lot of different types) has been 100%, and for a 22lr that is beyond amazing.

My number once favorite 22lr ammo is Federal PUNCH. I have gone through just under 2,000 rounds of it in my 502 and nothing but BANG!

Another favorite of mine is CCI AR Tactical 300 Round Boxes as they are less in price and also run flawlessly.

It loves both round nose and hollow points.

I have owned many 22's pistols but none have ate so much ammo with zero malfunctions.

One caveat, I never shoot lead bullets through my 22's so I can not attest to those.
