Looks good to me, I can see how sweeping the mag release would be easier than trying to push an almost flush button, at least on my FN it is, that said I love the trigger on mine, I’d definitely be interested in picking up one of these.

Does that mean they are moving on from the 509 already?

I think the 509's fine, they just introduced a new variation plus they have the LAPD contract etc.

I'll definitely take a look at it, the slide release seems in a more convenient location and the trigger is supposed to be adjustable for weight and travel.

I just really want them to actually release the updated Hi-Power at this point also whomever OK'd that design needs to be fired. Guns have to both work and look good to sell, this thing might run like a top but it is ugly. Just ask Walther how their Creed worked out.

I want the new HP as well but looks are subjective I guess, I like the HiPer

Personally, I don't like the looks.

I thought it looked pretty good, idk, looks should be low on the list if it’s a self defense weapon but we all know how that works…

That would be pretty nice, as long as it’s not like squeezing a bag of mush!

I think it looks like a pretty cool gun, when I first saw it I thought it had thumb safeties but turns out that is the slide release. In the end it's probably just another gun FN announces that we'll never see like the HP.

Looks better than any factory Glock to date.
IMO.
