    What happened to the extended mag



  2. Dom sugar on December 9, 2021 at 11:36 pm

    Not to mention the firing pin sucks balls especially for being a fn? A lot of ppl even on YouTube show there pin breaking can’t even dry fire like the 19x or m17-18…. There trigger has to much play and if you wanna change it out good luck bc they made it so dam difficult it’s crazy. On mine a heavy duty Apex trigger is a dam must so ppl that is the 1st thing you do don’t wait bc it’ll fail when least inspected. Beautiful pistol but dam trigger and firing pin make it trashy.🤷🤦😬🤔🗑️

    I literally just purchased this weapon and I can’t wait to get to the range…..



  4. Kenneth Jameson on December 9, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    There is an easy trigger pull fix.. and you can find it on YouTube.



  5. Anthony Sr. on December 9, 2021 at 11:39 pm

    Great video thanks for the info , I’m getting one of those FNing pistols soon.



  6. GOAT Master on December 9, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    999.98 USD with Viper Red Dot, a 17 rd, and 2x 24rd mags (at Bass Pro here in the USA). I love my unit, it’s black and my trigger does not seem like a 7-8 though, it feels about the same as my P360 XL’s (around 5-6). Anyway great video keep them coming.



  7. luke bart on December 9, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    Love your content – glad you’re back! “Let’s see if this peanut butter gun jams”… 😂😂😂



  8. Defau/t on December 9, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    I have the regular 509, love the gun. Once you break it in after 200 rounds, it becomes very comfortable to shoot and reliably accurate.



  9. theworldisnotenough on December 9, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    The FN 509 is an awesome pistol especially the controls. The polymer frames feels solidly built. The trigger is crap out of the box (Generally, my 509C felt like it had already had a thousand rounds through it). The broken in trigger feels good. After breaking in the trigger it is as good as any striker trigger barring Walther of course. FN should refine the trigger in the same way Glock Gen5 triggers feel already broken in. I do not know what keeps the company from promoting the pistol. Sig like effort and FN would sell a bajillion pistols.

    Trying to be too funny doesn’t help



  11. Larry K on December 9, 2021 at 11:45 pm

    Terrible video from a lame ass country.



  12. cebeeasy skeemask records on December 9, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    I got that one best gun ever



  13. Thomas Jones on December 9, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    Would you recommend this for ya first gun



  14. Noneof Yourbuisness on December 9, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    That reverse mag drop edit was wicked. All the gun channels I watch I’ve never seen an edit like that. That was saucy!!!



  15. Jeff T on December 9, 2021 at 11:48 pm

    You’re the only Canadian reviews I watch. Keep it up! You’re doing a great job!! 🇨🇦



  16. Blake Turner on December 9, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    U can shoot like this in Canada ? I had no clue thought y’all had very strict laws now for handguns etc



  17. Awesome Silver on December 9, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    I want this Pistol.



  18. James Morgan on December 9, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    Hey, welcome back! I actually got my RPAL in part because of this channel.



  19. Daryl Ragland on December 9, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    I don’t like it



  20. george chen on December 9, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    So bad we dont have that extend mag



  21. Magnus Imperatus on December 9, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    Getting tattoo’s apparently



  22. Chalino Sanchez on December 9, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    I heard that the striker should be replaced or is that something that got fixed by fn?



  23. Smiley Tactical on December 9, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    The soft case is a nice novelty but kinda useless in Canada. I prefer my fn fns or glock that came with a hard case



  24. MMR Tactical on December 9, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    As a LEO trainer I can tell you that the heavy trigger is totally true. There are rules that legislate the trigger weight. Great review BTW!



  25. James Tschirhart on December 9, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    Just picked up the compact version, still need to take it out to the range.



  26. J.di Eason on December 9, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    What kind of watch is that your wearing homie?



  27. Shovelhead on December 10, 2021 at 12:01 am

    Hey off topic but great tattoo!
    Can you please let me know where you got it done?

    Also great video.
    May just get one of these guns.
    Keep the videos coming.
    Please do the CZ P-10C optics ready!!



  28. Random Thought on December 10, 2021 at 12:03 am

    Makes me feel better about my purchase



  29. Aman Verma on December 10, 2021 at 12:05 am

    Ummm how did no one comment how u have prohibited rifles??? 🙄



  30. Mega Montana on December 10, 2021 at 12:05 am

    Love my FN 509. Great gun



  31. ThunderGod9182 on December 10, 2021 at 12:07 am

    Fabrique National make really good shit. I know why you were gone so long, you were taking a video editing course, cause that’s gotten better, good job.



  32. Seth on December 10, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Just purchased this pistol, it’s badass.



  33. Sean Vine on December 10, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Lou-pold. No Leah.



  34. Archaic Sage on December 10, 2021 at 12:11 am

    You still need lock-tight.



  35. Not so dead Yuri on December 10, 2021 at 12:12 am

    isn’t that a sig p320?



  36. Western Driveline on December 10, 2021 at 12:12 am

    Great video guys, I love my FNX45 👍



  37. The White Rabbit on December 10, 2021 at 12:13 am

    man i have been torn between the FN 509 and the 509 Tact….

    The state im in doesnt allow us to have suppressors so really the only benefit would be fitting a red dot
    but dam the tact looks so sexy



  38. J.di Eason on December 10, 2021 at 12:13 am

    This dude apparently doesn’t care to answer anyone’s questions/ comments



  39. Polish Prince on December 10, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Put a Vortex Venom Sight On It!!



  40. PartyGhost-fm on December 10, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Don’t get me wrong, I always love the content you guys provide. I just don’t think many Canadians would be looking to buy handguns anytime soon with Bill C-21being implemented in municipalities by some mayors. Just my opinion, still this content could work well for those in the States too.



  41. Anderson C on December 10, 2021 at 12:19 am

    Thoughts on the RDO mounting shoe and assoc plates? Some YouTuber Gun dude reviewer claims the FN’s design is the best.



  42. marryson123 on December 10, 2021 at 12:22 am

    Canada…… Sad 😞



  43. Alex E on December 10, 2021 at 12:22 am

    More vidjeos pleese



  44. Deion Griffin on December 10, 2021 at 12:22 am

    I’m putting the flat Back strap on mine



  45. C F on December 10, 2021 at 12:25 am

    YouTube should always be considered a hobby/part time job and not a prime source of income.



  46. Seth Pino on December 10, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Just bought one for $900 not the best deal but I think it’s worth it! Great gun!



  47. my wife loves the BBC on December 10, 2021 at 12:26 am

    I’m gonna ban that shit. Thanks for reminding me



  48. SHD Games on December 10, 2021 at 12:28 am

    So happy to see this come up on my feed!! Let’s gooooooo



  49. Bill s on December 10, 2021 at 12:30 am

  50. Deebo VI the Cane Corso on December 10, 2021 at 12:30 am
