FN 510 : FN’s Entry into the 10mm Pistol Market
The FN510 is FN’s newest 10mm pistol. I recently got my hands on one for a little bit of testing, and here are my initial thoughts.
The FN510 is a really nice pistol. The cuts on the slide are really clean. In FDE the pistol looks great. Everything feels well put together. The ergonomics are great. It feels a bit like glock so I was right at home shooting this pistol.
Where to Buy?
FN 510
An amazing, soft shooting 10mm pistol. I honestly thing this is the best 10mm pistol on the market.
FN 510 – MRD
An amazing, soft shooting 10mm pistol. I honestly thing this is the best 10mm pistol on the market.
FN Somehow Fit 15 Rounds of 10mm in the standard magazine
FN somehow fit 15 rounds into the base magazine, in a pistol that didn’t feel much larger than a glock 19. That is insane. It also has an extended magazine that can take 22 rounds.
First Impressions of the FN510
The FN510 is really easy to control. It gripped very naturally. Despite being 10mm, it has very low recoil impulse and is crazy easy to shoot.
The FN510 is crazy accurate, but I would expect nothing less considering the quality of their rifle barrels.
I only had the opportunity to fire a few magazines through the gun, and this was my first time ever shooting 10mm, yet still, I was shocked. I expected a much more aggressive recoil impulse. It felt like a spicy 9mm, in a good way. I shot it side by side with my springfield XD40, and the FN 510 handled way better.
The pistol’s controls were simple and familiar, I had no trouble picking it up and running it.
The suppressor height tritium sights were easy to pick up and very crisp.
Conclusion
Overall, I was floored by my first impressions. I didn’t get a lot of trigger time with this gun, but it seemed to shoot so smooth for such a large caliber. I am now strongly considering selling a few other guns to pick up one of these. I had my heart set on a 10mm glock but now im strongly reconsidering. Being 10mm, this would make an amazing carry gun to protect against wildlife when outdoors.
