The FN 509 Compact in Flat Dark Earth is a striker-fired 9mm pistol with a polymer frame, a 3.7-inch barrel and a 6.8-inch overall length. It weighs 25.5 ounces and holds 12+1 rounds, with two magazines included. Two interchangeable backstraps and a textured frame help with fit and recoil control. The flatter-faced trigger, low-profile sights and integrated trigger safety are standard.

This pistol is set up for everyday carry and personal protection, and its low-profile sights help reduce snagging during a draw. The flat-faced trigger gives a consistent press, and the Flat Dark Earth finish gives the pistol a tan look. The supplier notes that the frame also accepts higher-capacity FN 509 magazines, which widens the round count options for the same pistol.
