But a good paddle is still going to be reasonably secure and a lot easier to get on and off than a competition-style mount.įor the casual user, this is probably the best option. Paddle mounts aren’t the most secure option in the world. But for the purpose-driven competition shooter, it’s likely the best option out there.Īnother option is a paddle. This is why I don’t think it’s a great option for the casual user. So you’re going to have to go through a lot if you want to quickly take the holster off the belt and the mount. They attach to outer belt that is designed to be very safe and they’re attached via screws. These hanger-style mounts are designed specifically for competition, and they’re not going to have a use many other places. If you’re shooting in a competition like USPSA Carry Optics, then you’ll likely want to get a mount that is set up specifically for the competition. So it’s good to have a holster that is compatible with most of them like our holsters are. There are a variety of mounts on the market. When choosing a mount for a task or competition-style holster, you’re going to want to make sure that you choose the right mount for your needs. So you can adjust the retention to how you would like to run the gun. So when you’re looking for a holster, I think it’s a good idea to have one that has solid adjustable retention. The only time the holster is really going to come into play is when you draw the gun.ĭrawing while you’re standing in the starting box, or once you step out depending on the rules of the stage. Now, if you’re shooting a sport like USPSA, that’s not going to be an issue. So you’re going to need a holster with really solid retention. Like 3-gun where the gun may be on you when you’re going through some rough stages and rough terrain. Now there’s big difference between shooting sports. If you’re competing with an FN 509, you’re going to want a holster that’s completely set up for the purpose. All of these have different holster requirements. You can carry OWB for concealment or tactical and competition uses. When you’re looking for an FN 509 holster for OWB, there are going to be a couple of different setups you may be looking at. But for IWB, it’s definitely something you need to take into account. So if you’re looking for an FN 509 Tactical holster for OWB, you don’t have to worry about it. Hot brass will likely be singeing you and that could cause some safety issues on the range.
Holster for fn 509 ls edge with rmr and light skin#
You don’t know if a hot barrel could hit your skin when you carry the holster inside the waistband.Īnother disadvantage is if brass falls into the holster, an open-ended holster means that brass is going to fall right through into your pants. Without the threaded barrel being protected. But they have a lot of downsides for inside the waistband carry. I should clarify the FN 509 Tactical open-ended holsters are fine for OWB carry.
But an open-ended holster is going to have a couple of issues.įor one, if you’re wearing the holster inside the waistband, it’s not going to be as comfortable. If you have an open-ended holster, it isn’t a big deal as far as compatibility. Now the FN 509 Tactical is a different animal from these other guns due to the threaded barrel. You can use pretty much any FN 509 holster with this gun. Again, FN did a great job making sure your holster compatibility wouldn’t be an issue. It has a compact-length grip that holds 15 rounds instead of 17. The Mid-size gun is a full-length four-inch slide like the FN 509 Tactical. The only difference between the Compact and the Midsize are the optics cut. The FN 509 Midsize is essentially the same gun as the FN 509 Compact MRD. So any 509 holsters with an optics cut will work for this firearm. So you won’t have to look for a shorter slide over other guns.
The slide itself is a standard FN 509 slide. So you want to make sure your holster is optics compatible. So if you’re going to run the MRD, you’re likely going to be running an optics. And what’s unique about the MRD holster is that it has an optics cut.
The slide on the FN 509 Compact is the same size as any other gun.
