The FN 510 is a polymer frame striker-fired semi-automatic pistol manufactured by FN America, a division of FN Herstal.
History
The 510 was released in 2023 alongside the FN 545, which is chambered in .45 ACP.
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.
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.
Variants
Several variants of the FN 510 have been made available:
Tactical
4.71-inch (120 mm) barrel length, 15- and 22-round magazines, available in black or FDE, threaded barrel, raised sights (to accommodate a suppressor), with low-profile optics mounting system (for a red dot sight).
Standard (MRD)
4.1-inch (100 mm) barrel length, 15-round magazines, available in black or FDE, with low-profile optics mounting system.
