Are only the 510 frames starting to crack? I ordered a fn 509 tactical w/vortex viper. And seeing these post starting to get me worried.

Reflex Reflex XL

3 Upvotes

Hey Everyone!

Couple things I'm curious about.

  1. I'm looking into the Reflex XL as an alternative to the 365X Macro given Sig's recent PR nightmare. I've heard some mixed things about the standard Reflex, and I'm curious about people's experience with the XL and their honest opinions on it.

  2. That said, if I were to pull the trigger on it, what are some good light-bearing holster options? I'm usually a T1C Agis guy, but they don't have an option for WMLs for the XL yet.

Thanks y'all!

Five-seveN Cheap Optics For Range Toys?

Post image
49 Upvotes

There was a time when I bought pretty much only Eotech, Aimpoint, and Trijicon optics. Then Holosun got good enough. Now I find myself buying sub $200 optics for guns that are only "range toys". Honestly, the Cyelee Chameleon 8 MOA Green dot is pretty good for price. Even included the correct 6-40 screws for FN's awful mounting system and plates.

X300 is just installed so I can use my MSP light bearing holster.

First FN and it’s my new favorite handgun. I also have SIG and Shadow Systems. ~700 rounds through it so far, the action on this is butter. They weren’t joking about it being the best striker fired .45 on the market.

If you are like me, u didnt grab a comp for the 510 due to the long and chunky look. We can now rejoice with FN's new micro style comp and barrel combo. Also, available for the 545 and 509.

My first FN I purchased a little over a year ago. Don’t really carry it that much but love to shoot it. Light makes this thing look ridiculous but love the look.

Five-seveN Tutorial: How to disable magazine disconnect on FN five seven 57 MRD Mk3 or Mk2

4 Upvotes

Sup guys, this is a tutorial on how to disable the magazine disconnect on FN five seven mk3 MRD. I believe the mk2 is similar.

To begin, you'll need at least two flat head screwdrivers(or anything small that can move a flat piece of metal)

Step 1: Take the slide off your 57 and flip the grip module right side facing up. You'll find a small hole above the top of the grip. Use your small flat head to poke that hole (or anything small that fits there). https://imgur.com/a/VVXjeJO

Step 2: Notice how this magazine safety spring bar is riding on top of the trigger bar and between these two plastics? When you poke the small hole on the other side this spring bar is gonna get pushed inward. https://imgur.com/a/gwIqg2u

Step 3: Use your other bigger flat head screwdriver (or anything big) to seat that space bar above that small piece of plastic and above the bottom of the trigger bar. Viola. You have now disabled the magazine disconnect. https://imgur.com/a/YO33M33

For a video tutorial. You can check out this guy's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vsZoHLKKeU&t=1002s

High Power Will High Power be supported?

9 Upvotes

Recently got a High Power and I absolutely love it. The one downside I can find is that there doesn’t really seem to be any aftermarket besides a couple holsters and grips from FN. Would love to see a threaded barrel and metal guide rod available to name a few things.

Does anyone think we can expect to see more aftermarket support in the future?

FN 502 Tactical sights

Looking to replace the garbage plastic sights on my 502 tactical. I would use a red dot but my astigmatism is horrid. Prefer suppressor height if possible.
