I hate to post the exact same post on 2 separate threads - but I just responded to another FN thread - asking about the 509... I think my post applies here as well:
I love FN rifles. I have a PS90 , and previously owned two other PS90s and a FN SCAR 16.
However, after this thread, I would not buy an FN handgun:

Granted, the thread is 24 pages, but worth reading in its entirety...
There seems to be an issue on the FNS series on what the lifespan of the gun is, and the maintenance schedule (which FN won't release). And, they denied a warranty repair because the guy didn't follow a schedule of having the gun checked every 2k rounds by FN. That is ridiculous.
As someone on that thread said:
Don't do that, and they can deny a warranty claim it seems. I don't know if this new Fn pistol is treated the same as the FNS series, but this is just pure ridiculous...
