Shopping for my first can. Leaning towards an Omega 9k but would appreciate recommendations to look into. TIA.

Apex trigger and RMR dot questions.
My 509t is frustrating the heck out of me. I shoot terrible with it and group like garbage. I decided to upgrade the trigger using the Apex Tactical action upgrade kit. Everything was going well until the reassembly which I couldn’t find the parts 21 and 20. I watched the video several times and it seemed outdated. Is the spring and bearing only on the models with a thumb safety? I dragged a magnet around my work area to double check and didn’t find the parts. I reassembled the gun without them and it seems to function like normal. I’m not even sure what the purpose of the spring and bearing are.
My second problem is I can’t get a co-witness with my RMR red dot. I used the forward controls design plate and also dry fitted the C&H with the same result. The dot is lower than my irons with my RMR maxed out in the up position. Anyone else have a solution?
I also didn’t have good luck with the apex pin punch. It bent easily, local hardware punch did the trick.

Mag holder for 2 FN509 24 round mags?
Trying to find a good mag holder to go on a belt that will take 2 of the 25 round mags. Seems like regular stuff is too short while SMG is too long- anyone have any luck there?

Surefire X300 on FN 509c Tactical
Will the clamp fit securely on the compact rail?
Thank you for your inputs

Picked up a second one.
One of LGS's distributors had a sale on the 10rd models, so i was able to get this new for under 500. Already tried putting one of my extra surefire x300's on it, but it put the frame in such a bind that the trigger struggled to reset. So guess I will have to try a streamlight TLR1 on it.

DPM recoil system
Has anyone put a DPM drop in spring system? I'm thinking of grabbing it. Recoil isn't bad but anything that can help with control has me interested.

FN Friday
First gun at 23!
Coworker was kind enough to give me a compensator he had lying around. Ended up paying a total of $649 after taxes on this FN 509 MT. What a beauty

Nobody owns a full size? (4.5 inch)
I found a crazy steal on a new 509 with the 4.5 inch barrel for $350 and pulled the trigger.
I have not been able to find any posts here featuring this model and only 1 or 2 YouTube videos.
From what I can tell it was released somewhat recently. The long slide model also has a single LE contract with some random sheriff dept. Same 509 DNA with a million rounds of testing.
Why does no one seem to like the full size model? The p320 long barrels seem to do well although I understand preferring a threaded barrel + comp compact slide.

Just bought my first 509
Been eyeing these because there have been FN sales popping up all week. Found a FDE 509 with four 24 round magazines included as a package deal for $783 on PSA.
Already snagged a trijicon optic from Facebook marketplace too.
It looks like everyone else buys lights for these things, what kind of flashlight mounts under the barrel and comes in FDE that you would suggest?
Eventually I want a suppressor for it, probably then FN Rush. Stoked!

First 509
Traded for this used 509 at my LGS today. Came with 3 17rd mags, and some of the factory mounting plates, not all though. Need to get a FCD acro plate ordered for the PB3, and need to decide on what light to put on it. Also plan on getting an ez-lok set up for the hux 9kti.
