Design details

Features

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. 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 slide has serrations on both front and back, for easy slide manipulation. There is a full-sized grip, housing 15-round magazines; 10-round magazines are available for states with a high-capacity magazine ban.

The backstrap of the grip accepts interchangeable inserts; one arched and one flat. 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.

Magazine releases and slide locks are present on both side of the gun.

Variants

Several variants of the FN 510 have been made available:

• Standard (MRD) – 4.1-inch (100 mm) barrel length, 15-round magazines, available in black or FDE, with low-profile optics mounting system.
