Except it’s like $200-$300 more than a 19x. You get more out the box, but you pay more too. I got the CZ P10c threaded about a month ago. Offers more than a G19 for a little cheaper. If you like the FN or Glock, you may also like the CZ

I agree, I've been a longtime glock shooter and purchased the FN 509T when it first come out and so far I like it better than any of my Glocks. The 509T feels like it was made for my hands and thus far it is my favorite pistol I've ever owned.

[@Chrisnuzzo76]

I've got the gen 5 Glock 19 and the 509 tactical compact. The good thing about the tac compact is that it comes with a shorter grip and 3 mags. A shorter 12 rnd for good concealabity, and a 15 rnd w grip extension, and last but not least, a 24 rnd mag for range or hunting use. Overall, this FN tac compact is amazing. With all its options, including the Mos and threaded barrel with night sights, It definitely feels like it's worth the $900. Oh, the 509 also comes with two guid rods with retained springs for both regular ammo and lower velocity ammo for when you run a suppressor. You can't beat that. Amazing gun.

I am actually doing the same as you: acquiring all of the guns and doing my own MHS trials. However, it is taking me a little bit of time to gather all of the participants. I don't have the Sig yet (the price hasn't come down enough), but I am getting the 509 next (really good prices at the moment). The one conclusion that I have been able to make thus far is that the Beretta APX is awful.

I'm considering all the same weapons you are, and I must say, tjat while the Canick appears to be a budget friendly pistol with a lot of positives going for it, many of the video reviews I have seen show the Canick has a propensity to stovepipe, amd failure to feed/extract. I'm not talking one or two per 100 rounds either...I've seen at least two videos where there were multiple stovepipe incidents from the SAME magazine. It's making me wary about laying down my hard earned money for it...These are just issues I have observed... I'd suggest you check out some more video reviews, before making a choice.

[@ActuallyDKM]

I have both of these guns, and I love them both. The Glock is still basically stock, simply polished the trigger bar and threw on a Talon grip. The 509 is my project gun for league style shooting. I have a dual port compensator from PMM, lighter recoil spring, the Pro Talon grip, and a Vortex Venom on it. I plan on getting the Apex trigger and striker for the 509 as well as a reduced weight spring set for all the springs in the trigger system. Once that’s all acquired, I plan on polishing the trigger bar on the Apex trigger as well. The goal is to get that trigger on the 509 as nice and short as possible. Hoping to stay around 3-4 pounds on the trigger pull while maintaining the very assuring break and reset that the 509 has. I’ve got nothing bad to say about either of these guns, just plans to make one of them better for league.

[@brandonhightower2582]

You can fix the grit in the trigger of the 509T. Basically, the internals of the trigger catch on a lip on the barrel assembly. If you file that off, the trigger is VERY smooth.

I own multiple Glocks and have rarely had any reliability issues through many thousands of rounds. They're easy to breakdown and put back together, but I'm not going to lie. That 509 is a beaut!

That is exactly what I was thinking. The FN is really nice looking but that's clearly a lot of moving components comparatively and you can upgrade the Glock for the money difference. I own a Gen 4 17 that I carried nearly everyday for about 9 years. I've never once cleaned or lubricated it. I consider it my test pistol of sorts. It fires every time and has never let me down. That's a good part of the reason, I am not likely to betray my Glocks. I appreciate diversity, but anybody who hates on Glock is wasting their breath.

$55 a mag is definitely pricey

[@christopherbarger6112]

The FN 509 Tactical comes with more features and goodies out of the box, but I'm choosing Glock based on price. Cheap gun, cheap mags, cheap parts. And it comes apart with two pins. And ZERO tools. Glock all day for me. The 19X is ~ $550. The 509 is ~ $850. It'll cost about $200 to get a RMR cut for the Glock. Then $150 for a threaded barrel. Then $100 for suppressor sights. A Gucci Glock that can compete with this, is pricier. But equal if you sell your stock parts. For me it comes down to Glock aftermarket parts, the price and quality of mags, RELIABILITY, and options for customization. I know I'm an outlier, but I'd take a Glock. All these other guns seem nicer or have nicer features, but I somehow end up just preferring a simple Glock. Great video as always!

[@nickstalker3254]

Why spend the extra dough to pimp a Glock when you can buy a gun already pimped out?? Idk how you justify the price point judging at the end of the day you’re over the price of the FN.

[@Dontlookification]

That's something he didnt show, but the 509 you just lock the slide back flip the slide release switch and pull it off. No tools. No pins.

[@robertbush8327]

I have a 19x, my first 9mm. At the time I bought it, it just came out. Duty pistol at work for four years before retirement. Love it. But now my eyes are failing. I'm considering the FN, due too options, but I'm considering the Canik, but concerned about parts breakage after several thousand rounds. But, so many options on the market.

[@pewbangpew8109]

I have the 19x and love it but the 509 is so smooth. I never even really thought about the FN till I shot my buddys and loved every round

[@guwop3134]

A FN 40 was my first gun & ever since I just fell in love with FN..about to pick up the 509 tactical...I own a Glock 30 and the ammo loading in the mags is a pain..the mag release and putting a new mag in a fn is so smooth

[@AFNF-8919]

I agree I just sold my Glock 30 and bought the fn 509 tactical and absolutely love it

[@sandymitchell8182]

I dont find it shocking, just waaaay more options on the 509, still love the 19X and would love to own one. but just out of the box FN has everything

[@MrSheldonjohnson]

I agree with you. I didn't think you had enough guts to say it! Great video

[@kevinb2844]

Were you a fan of that old Highlander movie/tv show? When you said “there can be only one” I had a flashback to that show. Do the Guns who “win” consume the power of there current nemesis?😊

[@johnny1928]

I love them Both the 509 & Glock 19x 💯💪

[@hans-jurgenwiegand7465]

Glock Guns are great guns, but I hate the disassembly levers. I just bought the Tactical today, the 24 round magazine put me over the top. I ordered 2 more today, but will carry the 17 round mag in the gun. Can’t say anything bad about Glock, but I favor a gun that goes bang every time, the more times, my favorite!

[@chelseafischer233]

I love the looks of the 509 but I went with the Glock 19 gen 4 fs. The 509 has some reliability issues. Especially when running it suppressed.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Thank you and cheers!

[@chelseafischer233]

@@KSGunGuy01 thanks for the awesome videos!

[@philipthomas5834]

Maybe change the spring out next time when shooting suppressed... FLAWLESS

[@SiliconDrifter]

They ship with two springs and plain as day instructions. Read?

[@sfnomad2337]

I shot both and bought the 19X. I think the 509T is heck of a gun but for the price difference I was able to buy a nice threaded barrel and a few 33 rd mags and ammo. I owned an FNX45 Tactical and the ergos were terrible for me. No comparison between it and my glocks for accuracy when shooting with my suppressor especially. I'm sure it was probably me since the glocks feel so good since Ive been shooting they since the early 90's, but the 19X was really sweet to me. A G45 in MOS and with factory suppressor sights and TB would be money to me! Please Glock listen!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Very fair points indeed and I still love my 19x! Thank you and cheers!

[@herbvergara1]

FN509T is awesome. Currently the best OEM multiple red dot ready platform, suppressor height sights, true ambi controls, 2 X 24 rd mags plus 17 rounder, threaded CHF barrel, superior ergos, front slide serrations. Trigger is so so out of the box. Blows the 19x away.

[@KSGunGuy01]

It’s a great gun indeed! I’ve been very impressed with it. Thank you and cheers!

[@realblackbetty2204]

They need to make a black 19x with an RMR cut and suppressor sights.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I’d be all over that! Thank you and cheers!

[@danielboydcooper6850]

chestyMD: if they made a 19X in black it would be my duty carry , off duty i carry the 19X.

[@captainskippy6622]

The black version is being brought out at the request of law enforcement. I wish I’d had one when I was a police officer. I’m not sure when it will be pushed out to the public. I have the 19x and absolutely love it. But Glock dropped the ball by not putting the RMR cut on it. Hopefully they will introduce an RMR slide at some point. As far as the Gen5 mags not fitting, I always put Vickers Tactical baseplates on anyway and they work perfectly on the 19x. Next up is a can for it.

[@Super_Mario_Fpv]

isnt that the new g45? not sure when it came out, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

[@captainskippy6622]

SuperMario 603 yes. That is the Glock 45.

[@clintxxxracerx9435]

FN just added it, been Duty carrying a Glock 22 for MANY years. I thought I’d never change! Then I bought a B&T MK II. My life changed! For me, not speaking for anyone else, out of the box with a Holoson, perfect quality every time w/ the tightest grouping ever. I shot a 10 rd 1/2 dollar sized group at 40 yards. No Bs! With my G22, I shot a coke can end group. Now, to FN, with same Holoson, exactly same feel TO ME, as my MK II! Shot a quarter sized group 4 different times at 40 yrds and was getting tighter. Range master took my MK II, never even seen, held or shot one, DIME groups @ 40 yrds. Same Range Master, shot my FN, coffee can ends. So, this proved TO US, it’s all about the shooters comfort, confidence and control of each weapon, that relates with their ability to be accurate. FN, B&T & Glock are my Side Chips! Tits, Brass & Ass!

[@kyle47922]

Hello have you had any trouble with the FN 509 Tactical firing pin?

[@jimclark6883]

Would have liked to have seen a difference in barrel accuracy with different factory defense ammo, that would have made up my mind in picking between these two pistols.

[@menzelnation]

Such a great comparison video. I've shot both but I own the 19x. Something about the internal simplicity of a Glock, not to mention they way it feels in my hands. Magazine and holster compatibility is a major factor as well... but that's outside the "if I could have only one" box. Well done!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much! The 19x is a fantastic gun foot sure. I do agree about the parts compatibility. Cheers!

[@MrTian1212]

Have FN Five-seven MKII and FNX 45 Tac. FN has been my favourite, period. If I ever need a 9mm, it'd be 509 Tac, or compact. Plus, I hate Glock... So, easy question for me.

[@BlakeBake]

I also have both and am considering the 509T.

[@MrTian1212]

Blake Bake I got one shortly after made this comment. And 509 T is awesome in almost every way. Except it came with a trashy striker and unpleasant trigger.

[@sandymitchell8182]

I would also pick the FN,seems glock wasent too intrested in winning any contract,every other company actually put some design and thought in to their military version. love the glock and really want a 19X just for a add to the collection, but it reality its just a 19 with a extented mag, it just doesnt have the cool factor as all the other military contract submissions have.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Glock does tend to stick to that design and not add many frills. That said, they run well. The FN is an awesome gun though and has all the bells and whistles. Thank you and cheers!

[@MrRod632]

the 19x is the best shooting hand gun I've ever shot. in video you can see how smooth it is on recoil compared to 509 in video. that being said I may pick up a 509 . actually I have one on layaway lol

[@Kingdomcome666]

Amen to FN 509. Thanks for another good review KS. I got this pistol a couple of days ago and I haven’t had a chance to explore it yet but with your seal of approval I’m sure it won’t disappoint. The only thing is where I am we are limited to 10-round magazines only so no 17 or 24-rounds for us :( The gun came with 3 of them though

[@KSGunGuy01]

It’s an awesome gun and I think you’ll love it. It’s a bummer about the 17 and 24 round mags. I’ll never understand why some states do that. Thank you and cheers!

[@Kingdomcome666]

Neither do I brother. A gun with a 10-round mag in the hands of bad guys is just as deadly.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Well said

[@christopherbarger6112]

The 509 is badass, and now there's the 509 Tactical. Glock largely has no competitor for this gun. Buttttt I'll happily get my 19X milled. I just prefer Glock over really any plastic pew machine. Even my VP9.

[@chelseafischer233]

Except the reliability of the 509 it won't even fire in a simple water test. But it does look good.

[@christopherfisher1694]

I have a H&K VP9L, and will be picking up my 509 T in about 2 weeks (I have a Sig 365 XL on deck after that). What are your thoughts of the Sig 320 when comparing to the FN and Glock? I'm leaning towards a Glock over the Sig 320 so I can get the micro conversion kit.

Get the 320 before the glock. I have both the 320 has a better trigger. I love the Glock also

It’s a tether loop! The fn also has tether loop you just didn’t notice so I guess saying this sarcastically you can’t hang that on your “lanyard”.
