Born for Combat, Refined for EDC: First Look at the New FN 509 9mm – Full Review.
BY Jon Hodoway Published: April 16, 2017 { 40 comments }We here at GunsAmerica first heard about what would become the FN 509 back in January, 2016 at SHOT Show.

Fast-forward 12 months to the 2017 SHOT Show, and FN responded with an invitation to a meeting at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas. At that meeting, we were given the opportunity to fire a few hundred rounds through the FN 509. We received our sample of the 509 a few weeks ago after promising not to discuss it publicly until April 17th, 2017.

Trigger Tech: Are Light Triggers Safe & Heavy Triggers Deadly? Clay’s Take.
BY Clay Martin Published: April 11, 2017 { 19 comments }The idea of forcing a firearm to have a heavy trigger clearly is the brainchild of lawyers. This from the same no-talent ass clowns that made an industry of medical malpractice and can debate for hours “What the definition of is, is” directly related to perjury. Yes, I’m looking at you William Jefferson. Anyway, my belief is that only a complete moron would think a trigger that is harder to pull makes anyone safer. Also, coffee tends to be served hot. You’re welcome.
