Well damn this had me pretty interested. I've heard good stuff about the 509 and this look to be a about G19 size...

Looks nice.

The army MHS candidate guns are starting to evolve. The APX now comes in multiple sizes and the 509. This is interesting. I like options and choices and by most accounts both the 509 and APX are nice shooters and well liked by their owners.

I did a short review of the 509 a while back. I was not able to shoot it that well.

I hear the trigger is sub par

If I remember correct I thought it felt good trigger and all while handling it, but the few of us that shot it did not do well with it. I cant say it was bad but I would recommend shooting one before buying one.

I always liked the look and really like the tactical versions red dot mounting system, until I see people holding one and see how large it actual is on the hand

A few pics to give you an idea. I do not have large hands, and a comparison to a g26 with the smaller extension. I would say it most like a 19x/g45.

Yes I just held one last week. I think the 19x or g45 is a good size comparison
