FN 509...

[villdetwink]

With some great striker-fire pistols hitting the market recently...I think CZ may have shot themselves in the foot by not getting the P10C out ahead of them, as I assume was originally planned.

While the new Beretta APX does not float my boat...it is a good looking pistol (I even dig the slide serrations), but the back strap, disassembly, and "modular" frame swap quirks are just Meh for me.

Now, today FN announced their FN 509... this one, I am liking!
I have a FNS-9 and it is a sweet shooter, and from what I have seen and read the 509 will be even better... of course, I will have to see what others say in due time.
But I am thinking the funds I set aside for a P10C will now go towards the 509...which is "supposedly" due in stores by the end of the month.

...just thought I would put my 2cents out there!

You forget that CZ is such a small piece of the market. You think they care about another pistol joining the hoard of striker fired guns already?

CZ has a following and the people who will buy one will most likely already have a CZ at home.

FN pistols are also a very small margin in the handgun world. I know I never see them anywhere.

FN might be a great firearm. I will still get the P10C.

Boy, they really got wild when they were sculpting that grip. 
FN's may be great guns but they actually make Glocks look curvy. Other than both being polymer pistols, I see very little commonality with the P10C.

That thing looks top heavy (or maybe the handle is really small?).

At one time I was drooling over an FNP-45 (yes with a hammer) but never pulled the trigger and got over it.  It seemed like the grip angle was a bit more forward on the older FN models?

It's always good to have more options.  I think CZ would like to have already released the P-10C, but I'd rather have them get it right the first time.

When he reviewed the P-10C he didn't really like the slide serrations or the aggressive grip texture.

I'm not very familiar with FN but I saw this review earlier today, it might give you some points for comparison with the new CZ.

The Arsenal Strike B has my attention more than these.

I'm not a striker fan, but CZ's record for aftermarket parts, mags, and warranty are pretty hard to beat.   

I suspect that If it shoots well,  those familiar with CZ ownership and want a striker fired pistol will give it a try. If the "C" model gets good owner reviews,  then the full size will sell fast.

Not a striker fan either, but the P10C is the first one I've considered. Though I've always liked FNs as well. That said, I shot an FNX-9, and I couldn't grip that pistol at all. Way too slippery.

If the grip texture is too "aggressive", I'll get some fine grit sandpaper from the local hardware guys. That should do the trick, sand it down just until it's comfortable.

That FN, does look nice, I will admit, but the grip seems to be part of a 2x4...

Agreed, fixing coarse texture is simple. I'd much rather it be too coarse than not coarse enough.

So many good Pistols out in the Market now, it's difficult to choose.  I like what I've seen in the Video Reviews of the Cz-P10C, Beretta APX, Canik TP9DA, and now the FN 509.

[deadduck357]

Thinking the same way. Seems while CZ is trying to get something straightened out with the P-10C both Beretta and FN have come busting through the doors crashing the party. People getting frustrated with the P-10C hype/delays may just put their money on a APX or 509.
