When FN launched the 509 LS Edge<\/a> about a year and a half ago, they promised it would be the first in a series of new upgraded, premium pistols. Think BMW\u2019s M models or Mercedes\u2019 AMG cars. Better yet, think Smith & Wesson\u2019s Performance Center guns or SIG\u2019s Legion line.<\/p>\n

With the recent announcement of the new FN 509 CC Edge<\/a>, FN\u2019s made good on that promise and a second handgun now officially makes the Edge Series a series. FN chose to make their first new gun after the competition-minded LS Edge a compact-size pistol and to give it a twist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 509 CC Edge has the same height and slide length as the 509 Compact Tactical<\/a>. But as with the LS Edge, they used that as a jumping off point to kick the CC Edge up a few notches, including in the case of the new gun, an auto-indexing compensator.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

Unlike some other pistol compensators, the CC Edge\u2019s comp features two ports that direct gasses up and away at angles\u2026rather than straight up.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

That keeps schmutz<\/em> and debris off of your front sight. That\u2019s not insignificant, as, like the LS Edge, the CC Edge has a slim, suppressor-height fiber optic-equipped front sight post.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

The compensator will also keep any weapon light you might attach to the Pic rail from accumulating carbon deposits.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

Unlike most compensators, FN designed the comp for the CC Edge to attach via a bayonet-type mount for quick, easy auto-indexing. That\u2019s important given the compensator\u2019s contours that blend with those of the CC Edge\u2019s PVD-coated slide.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

The proprietary mounting system couldn\u2019t be simpler. Detach the slide from the frame, pop out the dual captive recoil spring and slide the barrel forward slightly. Then depress the comp (which is sprung) and rotate it 90 degrees to remove it. It\u2019s that easy.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

The primary function of any compensator, of course, is to minimize felt recoil and muzzle flip. The CC Edge comp does both nicely. I shot it side-by-side with the LS Edge and reckon the shorter, lighter pistol\u2019s compensated muzzle flip is about the same as that of the bigger, longer, heavier pistol.<\/p>\n

Shooting the CC Edge without the compensator, you\u2019ll notice more muzzle flip, the same as you would with any standard, uncompensated compact 9mm.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

FN ships the CC Edge with three magazines; a 12-rounder and two 15-round mags.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

All three magazines have metal baseplates. That means they eject quickly and reliably every single time. The 15-round mags allow anyone with hands smaller than a silverback gorilla\u2019s a full, four-fingered grip.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

That said, I was able to get all three digits on the pistol with the 12-round magazine mounted, too. Then again, I have small hands. Your experience may differ.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

As with the LS Edge, the CC Edge combines excellent iron sights with FN\u2019s Low-Profile Optics Mounting System.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

No other handgun maker has a better combination of irons and out-of-the-box red dot mounting system.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

FN ships the CC Edge with the plates to mount virtually any micro red dot sight you choose.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t have to lay out more money to buy a plate to adapt your red dot to the CC Edge.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

And your mounted and zero\u2019d MRDS will cowitness quite nicely with the CC Edge\u2019s iron sights.<\/p>\n

\"FN<\/p>\n

Like the LS Edge before it, the CC Edge has lightening cuts on both sides of its PVD coated slide. They look good and give you a sure grip on the front of the slide when racking, if that\u2019s your custom. Unlike the LS Edge, the CC\u2019s barrel has a gold titanium nitride coating that\u2019s a little more blingy.<\/p>\n
