this is an excellent tutorial. especially for those of us new to the platform. thanks for this
Thank you my brother! Just got a 509 midsize! Info was right on time!
Excellent video. I followed it step by step and cleaned my FN509 with no problems. THANK YOU!
Very well done. Some of the comments that you made were especially helpful:
1 Don’t go poking around.
2 It’s ok to leave a little CLP on the pistol as it will continue to break down carbon.
3 it’s not necessary to keep patching until you get a spotless patch.
4 Add some oil to friction points on the barrel.
You have me talked into getting some CLP to compare it to the Hoppe’s 9 that I am currently using.
Just picked up my 509 tactical. This video was super helpful. Thanks
You're welcome 👍🏽
Break free owes you some $$. Looking through the comments, looks like you helped sell some clp. Love your videos. Thanks for all the great content.
Nice video - well done, thank you. Have the 509T; can’t believe I over looked FN, all these years. Fantastic pistol!
Just bought this for my first gun today! Thank you this is so helpful!
Please get aftermarket apex striker pins
If you havent already, grab the APEX trigger and striker when you can. It makes a huge difference. The 509 Tactical is a great gun, but those 2 components are lacking. The trigger is doodoo and the striker has the tendency to snap. Mine did before 500 rounds. The Striker block spring also seems to have evaporated, so I grabbed the APEX slide maintenance spring kit as well. Unfortunately, FN America only offers the 509 armorers class to LEOs, but if we get enough people asking them to do one for civilians they will consider it.
Thanks!! Shot a lot of pistols in the Navy, but never had to clean 'em! This was concise and helpful.
Is that a joke?
You have the best channel
Thank you for this video. I am a new FN 509 owner. This was very helpful.
Thank you! I don’t ever comment on videos but this was awesome.
Thanks for the advice about the Extractor and Tipton pics. Bought em, and I can’t believe how much crud I pulled from the space behind the Extractor.
Just put the apex in one of my tacticals and it is such an amazing, and so far 1000 rounds in reliable, mod. If you have a 509 it’s worth looking at.
I have a 509c tactical and was thinking about grabbing a apex striker. I was looking for a vp9sk but because of all these new gun buyers I can’t find one in my area. Guess it’s a good thing and a bad thing. But the 509ct goes great with my fnx45t tho.
@@stanleywrubel8920 If you havent done it yet, get the Apex trigger, striker, and slide maintenance spring kit. My striker block spring seems to have evaporated when the striker snapped. FN will repair it for free if its the striker but you have to send the entire firearm in.
Thanks! I just picked up a 509. I really like it.
I finally shot my new FN 509 last Sunday after sitting in the safe unfired for about six months (busy). I cleaned mine last Monday and I see I was pretty much right on the money with the way you did your cleaning video. Win! Thanks.
nice
I love my FN509C. such an underrated pistol.
Im thinking of purchasing the 509C but am still a bit on the fence. What is it that you like the most from the pistol? Heard the trigger was great.
@@adriangarcia3573 it will run a 24 rounder, improved texturing on the two included backstraps for better recoil management, hands down the best OEM mounting system for a MRD with a low-profile direct mount through a carefully developed plate system that perfectly positions the optic so that the focal point allows for a low-profile mount and co-witness with the all-black iron sights that minimize interference with the optic., MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail that accepts most compact pistol lights
Thanks. The video saved me times & efforts to read manual instruction.
Very helpful tutorial, thank you
Great, quick to the point video!
I've started using Clenzoil wipes along with the clp. With the wipes I tend to use less patches. Gr8 vid. 🔫
Is that like fireclean? Lol
Love the 509 !
Love the FN509
Very helpful thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video, first time cleaning my gun and went smoothly. Subscribed!
Do you still have your 509?
@@5jjt I do, fantastic gun
Another great gun cleaning video Mrgunsngear.
Thank you
10/10 video man! appreciate the video!
Dude this is great, just ordered my 509 tactical! Looks like a sweet platform!
nice
Thanks for another great informative video.just got a 509 T and feel like Im familiar with it already
That Tanodized RMR is straight 🔥 🔥 🔥
🇺🇸
Appreciate the info Boss !
Thank you
Thanks video was super helpful
Nice video. Same procedure for the FN FNS-9/40.
Thank you
You help me out a lot thanks appreciate it
Happy to help
I just bought this gun and this video is really awesome for someone new to it. Question though, where did you get the accessories for it?
Just got mine today as well.
I got mine like two weeks ago and it is nice!!
@Rand Kelly You can buy the Red dot he has for about $700, it’s a Trijicon RMR Type 2
Good enough is, well, good enough
Great video
What optic is that please?
The 509 is a fantastic platform. It should’ve been the gun of choice for the military trials. That or Glock. The sig was the weakest submission and it was also the cheapest…cheapest wins. The 509 is a tank. I’ve never had a single failure out of my 6 509s.
I'm confused. Do I need to use a cleaner before a lubricant, or are both one in the same? I have 'gun oil'. But it looks like I need a particular cleaner first?
Shouldn’t you clean the fire pin and other stuff to? To prevent jams
I bought one when they came out a couple years ago and I just bought a second.. Why? because I can and I love the 509... Don't tell the wife...
thank you for useful content like always, but where is Mr.Colt btw?
I know the video is old..did you ever change the trigger? I want to keep it stock seems ok to me
Thanks! Question - after cleaning, you did a quick function check, then pressed the trigger and with the trigger pressed, you cycled the action then slowly released till you heard the click. Please explain why we are leaving the 509 in this state?
Helps tremendously to click Share, then Copy Link.
Prefer using the yellow spring over the silver? My 509 tact came with both.
In the manual, there are more places where FN wants you to lubricate... Always refer to the user's manual!
thanks for the report
Since I just got an fnx 45 tac can I assume this all would apply to that as well?
The FNX 45 TAC is a single/double hammer and the 509 TAC is a striker fired pistol, but the field strip cleaning will be the same except you don't have to pull the trigger to release the slide on the 45. FN does have a FNX 9 but theres no tactical version
Easier than cleaning the M9 I had to turn back in to the armory
Is this pistol hard to get parts for?
What sort of parts maintenance does this pistol have?
I always heard you could clean it as fast and as often as you wanted to....
😁
What is that yellow solution on the recoil spring/ guide rod?
Do you clean a brand new FN509 from the factory, or only after some use?
I’ve got one brand new but the inside looks like it’s been fired before (signs of wear inside) is that normal
Don't forget to clean the oily fingerprints off of that optic. : )
fair enough
@@Mrgunsngear don't you get a lot of oil film on you RMR when you run your gun wet like that? I do.
what’s the optic you have on that? need on compatible with my 509!
HRS - review is up
serious question. So I have a question. I'm a farmer and typically get dirty or dusty. I mainly just run my gen 5 19 dry to keep the dirt out is this gun going to run dry?
For a while
Thanks for all your videos I just purchased an FN 509 last week in watching your video what ammunition and silencer are you using . I’m looking for something so I can shoot in my backyard i.e. I have 11 acres I don’t won’t to disturb everyone in the vicinity.
minuteman munitions and Liberty cosmic
Once you've cleaned one browning action polymer framed pistol, you've cleaned them all. 😆
fair enough
Where do I find the tactical brush? Local gun shop doesn't have stock.
You have to get one of the bigger guys to take you back to his place
What are your thoughts on Gun Scrubber? It seems to make sense and it seems to work well and fast, but I don't see a lot of people using it.
havne't used it
I got the Bass Bro Exclusive set, it comes with 2 9mm recoil springs one in marked with yellow pin indication use for frangible ammo at 115grains which indicate that’s for “range round” @115 Elite PerformanceAmmunition (controlled expansion rounds. The Remington UMC Centerfire Target and Plinking and the Sig Sauer Elite SIG VCROWN they both are 115 FPS.
What is a good solid power 9mm round trip for everyday carry, PDW, and anti material round??
All the 509 tacticals come with those springs, definitely not exclusive to bass pro.
Where can i buy the reflex sight?
Thinking about getting the 509 midsize. I just did a search for mags though can't find any for sale. Even all the larger ones are out of stock. Have you had any luck getting mags for these guys? Kinda concerning me. I know you said you really liked the 509, I feels great.
eBay but $50 a pop
a year later and mags are still an issue for the 24rd
I just bought this gun and my takedown lever isn't locking into place. What can I do?
Did you figure the issue out?
@@possiblepilotdeviation5791 yes, I had to dry fire it and then it would lock once I put it back into place.
How are you liking the pistol? Im sort of new to guns and want to get a 509, either the tactical or compact not sure yet.
@@adriangarcia3573 I'm in love. I have the tactical and it's easy.
@@marissaanderson1117 thanks!
did you still put a sealing plate for the Trijicon RMR in this FN 509T?
It's a tactical. Has a threaded barrel
I noticed some accessories you have that our different than my stock 509. Your sight is higher and bigger and what is thing hanging below your barrel. Weight or what
His sight is still on there only behind the big thing. The big block at the back of the slide is a red dot sight. It helps with giving you a bigger field of vision when you aim since it's minimally obstructive. As for under the front of his gun is a pistol light. Cool options to add.
What do you use to clean the glass on the RMR or what ever optic you have? Any harm in using rubbing alcohol?
usually a shirt or my finger
K Simpson no harm on the window. Alcohol can degrade seals and O-rings so don’t dunk it.
What rmr is that
Hi boss, would you use this as a carry pistol. I’m interested in a red dot, so it’s between this and a glock mos.
sure
Quick question for ya, do you have a shotgun flashlight that you recommend? I have the magpul front end on my shotgun already, looking for something to go on there. And thanks for doing the video, my friend is looking into getting one of these as his first gun!
How do you want to mount it?
@@Mrgunsngear It's an mlok handguard so probably a mlok 1913 rail
What light do you recommend for your tactical toothbrush? 😀
😁
With all that CLP, I think you just spread the carbon around and made it dirtier. 😂
Typically I find the only spot that really needs a decent cleaning is the barrel. Hardly any carbon makes it back to the trigger assembly or around the safety plunger. It’s really a great design.
Has you FN509 jammed?
Nope
Missed a spot! Jk. Thanks for the video.
Same as any other striker fired pistol. Next
new gun owners don't know that
Would you recommend a 509 tactical over a Glock 19 for home defense?
honestly I fully recommend both; whichever you prefer --- go with that one
Why dont you use better brushes. Yes a used toothbrush is free. But if it's new they are more than an actual cleaning brush. Also mouth junk possibly all around in your pistol is just gross.
CLP is for you bicycle chain, wtf....
Don't let water get into the FN 509 because it won't fire. If you don't believe me try it.
🤔
How to clean another loser of the XM17 competition 😝 but seriously ty for your videos!
You're welcome 👍🏽
Jealousy. Lol
Only a true Russian spy would clean his gun on Russian cleaning mat.
😁
Why bother ????????????????????????????????????? This is the Worst factory trigger, in the 21st century,, upgrade by trading it in on a pdp pro..........................................
