As muzzle brakes grew in popularity for rifles, their transition to pistols was inevitable. Props to FN for being one of the first to offer a pistol equipped with a compensator straight from the factory. FN states that this particular compensator cuts muzzle flip by 25%, which I found to be pretty accurate. I shot with and without the compensator attached and can say that the perceived recoil was at least 25% less when the compensator was equipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

or Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P9 M2.0 Compact. It has an overall length of 7.5\u2033 while sitting 4.8\u2033 tall. I prefer to carry handguns in this size range as they fit my hands great, and I can control them really well when firing quickly. The grip is chopped a little shorter but is still long enough to get a good grip when using either the 12 or 15-round magazines. Two interchangeable backstraps are also included, and the side of the frame features stippling to help maintain a good grip while shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171336 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1024x682.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Replaceable backstop can be changed by driving out a pin.

FN featured a flat-faced trigger with this pistol from the factory which is great for me. I measured the trigger to consistently break at 5 lbs when pulled from where I would place the middle of my trigger finger. The trigger has a light take-up and a well defined wall. However, after getting to the wall, there is slight amount of creep before the trigger actually breaks. I measured it to be about 0.10\u2033 which is slightly more than the 0.08\u2033 of creep I measured from the S&amp;W M&amp;P9 M2.0 I had on hand. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171337 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed.jpg 1860w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender2-compressed.jpg 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flat-faced trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, how accurate is this pistol?

title=\"FN 509 CC Edge - Compensated Optic Ready 9mm Pistol Review\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eotech EFLX<\/a> shipped out just in time for the last leg of this review, and it ran flawlessly sitting on top of the FN 509CC Edge.  The FN 509 CC Edge handled all the ammunition I threw at it without an optic, and worked great for the short amount of time I was able to use the EFLX.<\/p>\n<p>Just be aware that heavier optics may end up causing issues with lighter ball ammo when used with a compensator as the compensator reduces recoil and the heavier optics add weight and mass to the slide. It\u2019s good practice to always test your carry ammo in your gun with it in its final configuration. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171724 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104.jpg 1170w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2104.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">No issues running and gunning with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eotechinc.com\/eflx-mini-reflex-sight-mrs?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fn-509-cc-edge-compensated-optic-ready-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"FN 509 CC Edge - Compensated Optic Ready 9mm Pistol Review\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eotech EFLX<\/a> red dot on top with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-10-g?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fn-509-cc-edge-compensated-optic-ready-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"FN 509 CC Edge - Compensated Optic Ready 9mm Pistol Review\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Streamlight TLR-10G<\/a> light\/laser combo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shown below is a short video I made shooting the FN 509CC Edge with the EFLX attached:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Cl2Bn6UOg6O\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p>In the end, I love what FN is doing with the CC Edge. I want to see compensators and optic cuts become the standard for all pistols, and this offering is one of the first to push the industry in that direction. This pistol packs in a lot of great features, but it comes at a price. The MSRP is $1,569 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/fnamerica.com\/509ccedge\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fn-509-cc-edge-compensated-optic-ready-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"FN 509 CC Edge - Compensated Optic Ready 9mm Pistol Review\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">509 CC Edge<\/a> and the street price comes in around $200 less than that. This is a lot for a factory gun, yet it remains comparable to what people spend to get \u201cGucci\u201d pistols without the headache of trying to piece everything together all while waiting on current lead times to get slides milled for optics. Out of the box, this pistol includes almost everything you could want except for the optic itself. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171341 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed.jpg 1972w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FullSizeRender-compressed.jpg 1972w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carrying case and included accessories for the 509 CC Edge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/administration\/user\/Register.aspx\" title=\"FN 509 CC Edge - Compensated Optic Ready 9mm Pistol Review\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!
