Several places with mags now. I got some from GunZoneDeals but Locked and Loaded had some too.
Took it to the range again today. My front sight has shifted more so I'll likely just take it off. My red dot (Burris FF3) kept blinking out but I think the batter is ancient. Does anyone else notice this kind of wear?  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That is good to know and the info I was after. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It's aluminum. Do NOT compare this to an early Walther P22 & the like! This isn't a cheap zinc pew pew range toy. This is seriously one of the nicest 22LR pistols I've ever owned, & I've owned dozens. I've a tricked out Ruger 22/45 that's boringly accurate, & was my go-to 22 until now. The 502 doesn't even feel like a 22 when you fill your hand with it. It's stout/sturdy. The trigger is awesome, the fit/finish is just like my 509-T & FNX-T. If it didn't have "Umarex" on it I'd swear it was made by FN. I've added a HS507C & AAC Element. Love it. LOVE it. That is good to know and the info I was after. @chumpmiester I actually just bought a 502 and am in love with it, as well. It's night and day different than the G44 I've used and abused for the past two years. Fit and finish is top notch, let alone it feels like a 9mm when in hand. Feature for feature, pound for pound I'd wager this is thee best .22LR rig on the market. I fired 500 rounds my first outing with it, no functional issues. Side by side with a G44, the thing is a laser on irons. That included swapping a brand new barrel into the G44. Trigger, slide function, everything....top notch. The G44 will likely be benched for the unforeseeable future. I'll have another update in the coming days after a Holoson 507K-X2 comes in. |

Not that bad but it's noticeable wear. Didn't lube the pistol from receiving it, 500 rounds through it. Likely a lube issue, or weak coating on the slide. |

I just found a few of the 15-round mags in stock at Eurooptic for anybody still looking for them.
I agree with the other reviews, been very pleased with my 502. Has run perfectly with CCI standard velocity and my SiCo Sparrow so far. |

Also FYI, what optic are you all running if any? Recently purchased a Holosun 507K and installed today. Used the only FN plate (of three provided) that fit the footprint, with the only screws with tapered heads (red). Screws did not appear too long for the setup, either. Torqued to 15in and added a little blue loctite. No o-rings found under the removed FN cover plate, either.

Any issues with the Holosun 407K , 507K on the FN 502? Slide able to cycle w/wo suppressor with subsonic/suppressor/standard velocity ammo? What about other optics like the Romeo Zero or the Swampfox Sentinel, etc.?

Finally found one in black, but whatever. Can’t wait for someone to come out with a trigger that doesn’t have a mile long reset. Went with the holosun 507 and had to use some mounting screws from a shadow systems that I had left over to get it to mount up right

Wow, these things are...
Pieces of shit. We'll start with it's inaccurate as hell. I went back and forth between the 502 and TX22. TX is one hole groups, 502 is a six inch pattern, tested between multiple shooters. Hell, tested between multiple guns since my buddy had his TX and 502 at the same time with the exact same results. Other gripes: Have to baby the magazines. I did a normal reload like I would a glock at the range, not some competition level slam, just surely insert, and the base flew off. I reassembled it at the bench and recreated the error multiple times. Next, the slide is flat out lazy. Its glacially anemic using the release, and fat guy getting off the couch slow when slingshot-ing. The trigger shoe is too fat - which yes, is a personal preference - and the reset is too long. I can deal with long, but it's just over the line of too long. The screws they send with the plastic plates to mount your sight don't have the right tbevel so there's a gap even when tightened. Overall, I'm pretty stinking unhappy with it, mostly due to the accuracy. FN touted this as an accurate combat level trainer. Ummm, no. |

I'm pulling my 507c, and tossing it into the back of the safe. I just ordered a TX22 Competition, hopefully I can use the 507k on it instead. |

Just shot mine with a bunch of ammo and with a swampfox sentinel mostly suppressed (Mask) . Had some FTE and some FTF with Gemtech (surprisingly) and the American Eagle Supressor ammo. CCI Clean, Remington Sub, CCI SV, Fiocci subs and Winchester Xperts ran well. I also had CCI Quiets and that would not cycle. The slide is "lazy" and I had to push into battery mostly on the first round of a fully loaded mag. Still pretty fun.
But, I also had the Keltec P17 no optic and that thing ate all the ammo. I was suprised that CCI Quiets cycled a few times. I think I had a max string of 3 shots before a manual cycle. Side by side... I thought the keltec was funner but my groups were not as tight at 10 yards. Maybe it was funner cuz of the really light weight; maybe the trigger... IDK. Anyone know of a mag loader for the FN 502? |

Whelp FN called and I'm sending mine in for the front sight falling off. Hopefully they can figure out the issue with the wear patterns as well.
I put in a claim and had a phone call the next day, so I'm impressed with that. |

Your wear pattern isn't anything uncommon, it's a wear in the finish due to use. Likely due to the inherent aluminum slide and its anodizing being weak. But good luck. |

Still having a crap ton of failures after fighting though a thousand round break in with cleanings. I did go with a stainless guide rod and sig spring which did fix the slow as hell slide issue.
I’m pretty sure I’ve identified a major design flaw: the feed ramp. The fn ramp is narrow, shallow and small with a square notch cut out of it for some reason  Attached FileCompare that to a tx22 feed ramp and you can obviously see the difference:  Attached FileI’m sure fn did it for a reason with R&D and all that but with as many failures as I’ve had with this thing I wont be surprised if this gen 1 goes the way of the sig mosquito and a major redesign takes place |

I ran a Holosun 507k with no issues pre-recall. I currently am running a Swampfox Sentinel post recall, with no discernable hiccups so far.

I switched out my heavy FF3 for a Shield Sms2. It's less than half the weight. Surely it'll be fine for 22. I guess I'll just remove the front sight completely.
