PEORIA, Ariz. – Apex Tactical Specialties is expanding its pistol barrel lineup with the addition of a new threaded barrel for the FN 509 model pistols. The new barrel is now available for pre-order and will officially begin shipping on April 30th. Designed specifically for the FN 509 model pistols with a factory 4.00” barrel, the Apex 9mm Threaded Barrel is machined from heat treated stainless steel. Each barrel is then black Melonite finished before it’s machined a second time to add contrasting stainless flutes.
