You got a FN 509? you need a kick ass light to go with it.
We have narrowed down to a couple handgun lights that we liked based on beam performance, durability, control ergonomics and value for money.
So here are the Best FN 509 Handgun Weapon Lights
Streamlight TLR 1 HL - Best Control Ergonomics
Why Buy The TLR 1 HL - More lumen intensity from the previous TLR 1 model. The Streamlight TLR 1 HL is lighter and by far has the EASIEST toggle switch to operate the light for home defense and professional use.
Easy Toggle Switch - By far the most user-friendly control switch for two-hand or one-hand operation without the need to hard press the switch to activate the light
PHLster ARC Enhanced WML Switch for Streamlight TLR-1 & 2 - S & HL Versions, Black, Standard, 1
from: OpticsPlanet, Inc
Simple Strobe Mode- Double tap for strobe. No mode switching or complicated button combo press!
Best Fit - By far the best mount fit on the FN509 rail while the toggle switches are reachable
Replaceable Lens Bezel - Repair the front lens due without having to replace the whole unit to saves money and train force on force with a peace of mind
Fits FN 509 LS Edge very well
Features:
- 1000 Lumens
- 15000 Candela
- 2 CR123A Batteries
- 4.18 oz

Surefire XH30 - Best Overall
Slight Trim Required For Proper Fit
Why we picked the XH30 - XH30 is the next-generation SF X300U. The overall quality and durability are superior for anyone looking for the best flush fit weapon light for the FN 509 tactical with that threaded barrel.
Multi-Lumen Intensities - Choose between 1,000 blinding lumens or 300 lumens for low profile applications.
Widest Flood Beam - Cover anything in the dark from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. Never miss a thing in the dark
Multi-Lumen Intensities - Choose between 1,000 blinding lumens or 300 lumens for low profile applications.
Slide Always In Battery - Light bezel sticks out pass the muzzle prevents the slide from getting out of battery when muzzle is pressed against the target.
Disorient Threats - Blind close up threats with intense flash and disorientation.
NOTE: The XH30 will not fit holsters made for Surefire X300U due to the difference in the front lens.

- 11300 Candela
- TIR Lens - Super Wide
- 2 CR123A Batteries

- 3.7 in

LAPG SlideRail XWL - Best For The Money
Why Give LAPG XWL A Try? - The price tag might make you doubt it, but it's by far the best Streamlight TLR 1 alternative with similar features but with a better throw performance.
Fits TLR 1 Holsters - Use any TLR 1 or TLR 1 HL compatible light-bearing holsters!
Better Throw Performance - Better low light positive ID with a concentrated throw and wider spill than Streamlight TLR 1

Streamlight TLR 7A - Best Compact
Streamlight TLR 7A Flex is the best compact size handgun light for FN 509 mid size models and full size models with upgraded control ergonomics.
The TLR 7A flush fit perfectly on a full size FN 509 pistol. It's super light and compact, which takes only 1 CR123A battery (50,000 hours) that can produce up to 500 lumens & 5000 candela with its C4 LED technology.
Streamlight's TIR Optic produces a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral illumination within 30 - 40 yards.
Activation switches are ambidextrous from both sides, the user can activate the light simply by pushing the button.
We highly recommend this product for its size, performance and price, and it's probably the best for FN 509 pistols for the money.
