Fn 9mm double action bda code#
The Browning Double-Action Only (BDAO) was given an altogether different trigger which automatically decocked the hammer after each firing.©Ģ023 Military Pay Chart Military Ranks DoD Dictionary Conversion Calculators Military Alphabet Code Military Map Symbols Other variants in the line included a medium and compact sized form. The BDA went on to see large-scale acceptance with only the Finnish Army (as its standard-issue service pistol). A firing pin safety feature only allowed firing through complete and proper management of the trigger. The decocking lever was ambidextrous and the magazine catch could be set to either the right or left side of the gun. It included a revised trigger guard (when compared to the GP35) and, while developed as a DA model, could be reworked to become a Single-Action (SA) model if desired. The slide featured the usual ribbing along its sides for a firm grip and iron sights over the weapon gave some capability for accurized fire. The design was chambered for the popular 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge firing from a 14-round magazine (detachable) inserted into the base of the grip. There were also concerns as to the product's quality control. The BDA went on to find only limited value in a crowded Double-Action (DA) pistol market which led to restricted production totals - manufacture of the product was given up as early as 1987. It mimicked the form and function of the pre-World War 2 FN "GP35" model which ended as Browning's last contribution to guns (he died in 1926). Those 10,000 LAPD officers will not carry Glocks or Sigs, they will be outfitted with the FN 509.Designed in 1983, the Browning BDA ("Browning Double-Action") was another semi-automatic pistol form to emerge from Fabrique Nationale of Herstal, Belgium and based on the classic John Browning work. So good, in fact, that the LAPD brought FN Herstal some excellent news this year. The FN Herstal FN 509 wasn’t chosen by the Army, but the competition yielded a great design and performance. Magazine releases and slide locks are ambidextrous. There are Picatinny rails for accessories. The grip has plenty of texture to prevent slippage. It has a polymer grip to allow for changeable backstraps. The sights are lifted to allow for precise shooting if a suppressor is equipped. There are fixed three-dot luminescent sights. At 26.9 ounces, it’s lighter than the CZ P-09 – another losing entrant in the competition. It instead has “four passive safety systems-a striker block, a drop safety, a trigger disconnect and a trigger safety lever,” according to a review in the American Rifleman.

It has a double-action operation and does not have a manual safety. The FN 509 has a 4-inch cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with an overall length of 7.4-inches. It comes with 10-round and 17-round magazines. FN America entered the XM17 competition with a polymer-framed, 9mm striker-fired pistol that was based on its FN FNS-9 Compact model. The FN Herstal’s FN 509 is made at the FN America subsidiary in Columbus, South Carolina. While the FN 509 did not make the finals because the competitors were just too strong, it’s worth re-examining because the Los Angeles Police Department did select the FN 509 as its new duty pistol back in 2021. This was known as the XM17 Modular Handgun System trials. military’s competition to replace the Beretta M9.
