History
The 510 was released in 2023 alongside the FN 545, which is chambered in .45 ACP.[2]
Design
Based on the FN 509, the FN 510 is a striker-fired handgun with a stainless steel slide with ferritic nitrocarburizing finish and a polymer frame.
Black and flat dark earth (FDE) colorings are available.
The FN 510's barrel length is 4.1 inches (100 mm) for the Standard Full Size (MRD) model & 4.71 inches (120 mm) for the Tactical model. The backstrap of the grip accepts interchangeable inserts; one arched and one flat.
The slide has serrations on both front and back, for easy slide manipulation.
Operation
The FN 510 features double-action operation with magazine releases and slide locks present on both sides of the gun, plus a Picatinny rail located forward of the trigger guard.
Instead of a manual safety, the 510 includes an integrated trigger safety (the articulated trigger type like the FN FNS) as part of its four passive safety systems: a striker block, a drop safety, a trigger disconnect and a trigger safety lever.[3]
Magazines
The FN 510 primarily uses 15-round magazines; 10-round magazines are available for states with a high-capacity magazine ban.
Ammunition
The FN 510 is chambered in 10mm Auto.
