The threaded barrel (.578x28) accommodates suppressors or compensators, and two interchangeable backstraps adjust grip size. The ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release work for left-handed shooters without modification. Tritium sights are standard for low-light performance even without a mounted optic. ### Use Cases Shipping with both a 15+1 and a 22+1 magazine gives the 510 Tactical flexibility: the 15-round magazine for a lower-profile setup, the 22-round for maximum capacity at the range or in defensive use. The 10mm chambering works for home defense and as a hunting sidearm where additional power over standard 9mm is needed. The threaded barrel and optics-ready slide cover suppressor and competition use cases. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the FN 510 Tactical?** A: The FN 510 Tactical is chambered in 10mm Auto. **Q: Who makes the FN 510 Tactical?** A: The FN 510 Tactical is made by FN America (FN Herstal). **Q: What type of firearm is the FN 510 Tactical?** A: It is a full-size semi-automatic pistol with a double-action, striker-fired action. **Q: What is the barrel length of the FN 510 Tactical?** A: The FN 510 Tactical has a 4.71-inch barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the FN 510 Tactical hold?** A: It ships with two magazines: one 15+1 and one 22+1. **Q: Is the FN 510 Tactical optics-ready?** A: Yes.

Build quality and ergonomics are the strongest points. Owners describe the construction as solid and the grip as comfortable across different hand sizes. The ambidextrous controls are praised specifically by left-handed shooters who otherwise have to modify their firearms. The optics-ready slide is a consistent draw. Red dot mounting without additional machining is practical for competition and tactical use, and users in both communities treat it as a standard expectation for a modern duty pistol. The threaded barrel gets positive attention from owners running suppressors or who want the option for muzzle devices without modification. Capacity is a notable strength. Having both 15- and 22-round magazines in the box gives immediate flexibility. The 10mm caliber generates the usual split opinions on recoil. Experienced shooters describe it as manageable; newer shooters or those unfamiliar with the cartridge note an adjustment period. Some owners specifically chose the platform for the 10mm's performance over 9mm for defensive and hunting applications. Reliability is consistently positive, though a small number of owners report sensitivity to specific ammunition brands, a minor note in an otherwise solid track record. Pricing is the main concern. The FN 510 is priced above comparable 9mm options, which some buyers see as the cost of the 10mm platform and feature set, while others find it harder to justify given the alternatives. ## Pricing **11 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Buds Gun Shop | $968.49 | | Kygunco Com | $987.99 | | Guns Com | $996.99 | | Gunbuyer Com | $999.00 | | Grabagun Com | $999.00 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $999.00 | | Selwayarmory Com | $999.00 | | Primaryarms Com | $999.00 | | Gritrsports Com | $999.00 | | Palmettostatearmory Com | $999.99 | *...and 1 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 4.0/5 (1 reviews) > **jmarlen** (4/5): The 10mm has been excellent overall. I would prefer a flatter trigger with less take-up, but that is my only real complaint. ## Similar Products - [FN 510 Tactical: Optics-Ready 10mm Pistol, FDE, 22+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-tactical-optics-ready-10mm-pistol-fde-22-1-capacity/UCEt9uKMU) - [FN 510 Tactical - 10mm FDE Pistol, Threaded Barrel, Optics Ready](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-tactical-10mm-fde-pistol-threaded-barrel-optics-ready/UCEt9uKMl) - [FN 510 Tactical - Black Optics-Ready 10mm DAO Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-tactical-black-optics-ready-10mm-dao-pistol/UCEt9uKMH) - [FN 510 Optics-Ready 10mm DAO Tactical Pistol - Black](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-optics-ready-10mm-dao-tactical-pistol-black/UCEt9uKMz) - [FN 510 MRD: 10mm FDE Tactical Pistol with Optics-Ready Design](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-mrd-10mm-fde-tactical-pistol-with-optics-ready-design/UCEt9uKN6) - [FN 510 MRD - Optics-Ready 10mm Pistol, 4.1" Barrel, 15+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/fn-510-mrd-optics-ready-10mm-pistol-4-1-barrel-15-1-capacity/UCEt9uKMs) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
