FN America (FN), is coming out swinging by 2023. Suppressors, FN SCAR 15P pistol and now expanding their striker fired handgun range with the FN 510 tactical. The FN 510 Tactical, a 10MM chambered variant of their 9MM 509-series, is the FN 510 Tactical. A 45ACP FN 545 is also available. I can see you are getting used to the labeling. The 10MM FN 510 Tactical FN’s next phase of expanding its 500-series handgun appeal focuses primarily on caliber enhancement and maximising capacity. The FN 510 10MM comes with a 15-round flush-fitting magazine as well as a 22-round extended mag. Solid slide control is made possible by the well-done rear and front serrations. The barrel is 4.5 inches in diameter and 28 threaded at its muzzle. The barrel features a polished chamber/feed ramp at one end and a recessed crown for the target. Standard features include ambidextrous slide lock levers, and magazine release buttons. A MIL-STD 1913 accessoryrail is also included in the polymer frame. The 10MM Auto was created to be a pistol cartridge for semi-automatic handguns. It offers better ballistics, a flatter trajectory and higher velocity than the.45ACP. This allows for greater terminal performance. Cooper’s original design was modified by Norma to achieve even higher velocities and was introduced in 1983 for the ill-fated Bren Ten. The 10MM Auto was a semi-automatic semi-automatic cartridge that offered magnum revolver power equivalent to.41 Magnum. The FN 510 Tactical package includes several enhancements such as co-witnessing suppressor height sight, enhanced trigger, threaded bar, improved contoured slide lock mechanism, and an extended extractor that acts as a loaded chamber indicator. FN 510 Tactical Features – The FN 510 tactical features don’t stop there. The rear of the slide is what really grabs your attention. It has been modified to allow for mounting of many of the most popular red dots sights. This is the FN Low Profile Optics Mounting System, (LPOMS) according to FN. This system has a variety of plates that can accommodate different red dot optics. The FN 510 Tactical’s caliber upgrades and the ability to add a Red Dot to handgun performance will help you maximize your handgun’s effectiveness by increasing the range and accuracy. As backup sights, suppressor-style iron sights can be positioned around the red dot. They also quickly fix the shooter’s eye on the red dots above the front posts. Mounting a Leupold Deltapoint Pro on a 510 Tactical was a great way to take advantage of the FN LPOM system. Shooting and Carrying the FN 510 tactical The FN 510 tactical 10MM muscle makes it a great candidate for rural or wildland carry. Particularly where four-legged enemies are more of an issue than the two-legged. The 510 Tactical, despite being a hammer in handgun ballistics, can still be used for personal defense and tactical situations. The FN 510 Tactical is a beast of power. The firing of the 510 Tactical 10MMs was a momentous occasion. It is quite calming to have a stack of 10MM ammunition at your disposal when you are out and about. Echo Valley Training Center (EVTC) was the location for range T&E. After the Leupold Deltapoint Pro sight was turned off, several magazines of ammunition were fired at various steel- and paper targets. This quickly showed if there were any reliability issues. Strings of fire were used against steel plate racks at 15-25 yards and steel popper targets at 45 yards. A basic bench position was used to test accuracy. The FN 510 Tactical produced a jagged hole at 10 meters and 2-inch groups at 25 yards. You may be tempted to carry a revolver for rural or wilderness carry out of nostalgia. It’s difficult to argue with 15 or 22 full-power 10MM rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger on the 510 tactical. Not to mention that the 510 Tactical is very efficient in carrying spare ammunition and reloading. The FN 510 Tactical is always available for you. Visit FNAmerica.com for more information.
