I've been shooting Glocks for going on 30 years. My go to guns are a pair of 17 Gen 4s. Other guns catch my attention sometimes, but the reality is that they won't do the job any better. For me, it's about reliability, ease of maintenance, and cheap and readily available mags and parts. Not to mention the 509 is unproven at this point.

do you run the Glock Pmags or have knowledge of how they perform?

If the choice is one versus the other I'd have to go with the Glock based on its long baseline of data for reliability etc... And the abundance of parts and options available, there are simply more choices available in everything from sights, magazines and triggers on up. Glock Customer Service is generally highly rated as well. All that said, I do really like the 509 and I'm tempted to add one to my safe. I wouldn't buy one to replace a pistol though.

I haven't tried them or the ETS mags as I'm so deep in OEM mags. A few people have had minor issues, but most seem to like them. I vote the Glock of your choices. The 509 really did not do anything for me and trigger was kind of heavy. The Glock is cheaper to modify, mags are cheaper by far, accessories are very abundant and over all aftermarket choices are much more vast. |

G17 gen 4. It has a proven track record.

Get the Glock with front cocking serrations. They offer them in G17 and G19 flavors. I got the G19 version, and its quite the package deal.

Im aware theres forums on this but they're filled with nonsense and arguments on trigger weight. Im looking at the FN509 or the Glock 17 Gen4 and can't find any definitive pros or cons between the two. I prefer the 509's grip just a tad more than Glock but doesn't make much difference, Im primarily concerned with quality and long term reliability between the two. Are there any problems people have experience or would it serve nicely as a simple range firearm? Thanks. Okay, you want to know the long term reliability of a pistol that just came out this year (the 509)? And if you're looking for a simple range firearm, why concern yourself with reliability? A range-only pistol is where you can afford to have something finicky, like a Kel-Tec. Frankly, I'm not a Glock fan, but if the question is ever Glock or XYZ, the answer is if you like the grip angle of a Glock, get the Glock. If you don't, get the other one. |

If your info aftermarket add ons get the Glock.
If you prefer the grip of the FN, that's reason enough to get it. |

I own 5.56mm AR15s and 9mm Glocks. I'm not a gun guy. I'm a shooter. They just work. |

I would go CZ P10C. Keeping with the question I liked and did shoot a FN 509 better than a Glock.

MAC FN 509 reliability test. Doesn't look good but you can judge by yourself. Tim did responded to his test in the general forum a few days ago.
