“If it were a girl, it would be the one your mother warned you about,” Will Dabbs, MD, proclaims in his review of FN America’s latest iteration of the 509 series — the FN 509 Tactical — featured in the February issue of GUNS Magazine.
Of its many celebrated features, Will applauds the gun’s striker-fired action with built-in pivoting trigger-safety and full-sized grip for optimal control. “The FN 509 Tactical is the end result of generations of small arms evolution and it really is everything you could want in a modern combat handgun,” he said.
Rock River Arms’ RRAGE is challenging assumptions about “entry level” ARs, according to Rob Reaser. The company’s “value-minded” manufacturing coupled with innovative, intelligent design yields an exceptional looking and performing rifle.
