The FN 502™ Tactical isn’t just the first .22 LR from FN, it’s the industry’s first slide-mounted, optics-ready rimfire handgun that’s ever existed.
Designed for maximum fun, FN’s hammer-fired .22 LR delivers more accuracy and versatility than any other rimfire. Mounting a favorite red dot optic and cycling a wide range of .22 LR ammo makes a low-cost range day a high-end experience.
Inspired by FN’s patented Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, the FN 502 Tactical offers unmatched sighting options and co-witness front and rear sights align perfectly with your dot.
The superior ergonomics, proven balance and ambidextrous controls, all a nod to the FN 502’s bigger brother, the FN 509®, make it perfect for high round count training sessions. Like a robust target-style rimfire pistol, the design of the FN 502™ Tactical delivers faster, more accurate shots on target from a modern, optics-ready tactical pistol.

I actually ordered this gun over a year ago (hard to find online) but shipment was cancelled due to a safety recall. Finally got it in February 2023 and put 500 rounds through it to break it in and it only failed to feed once near the beginning of that session, which I blame on a break-in period. It was disgusting after 500 rounds but performed great. All of these rounds after the first 10 were suppressed. For a suppressed 22 pistol I'm not sure you can find anything better that mimics a full-sized semi-auto pistol. I also have an FN 509T, so this will work as a great trainer for that gun with cheap ammo. Sights are just black, but not a big deal since I plan to put on a red dot optic. Trigger is surprisingly crisp and the reset is a little longer than I'd like but it works fine. External safety is easy to manipulate, as is the slide release. It is easy to disassemble, but the takedown lever for some reason doesn't like to go back in its place on reassembly, just finicky and you have to get a feel for it. Minor quibbles. Came with a 15-round and 10-round magazine. It's a great plinking 22 all around and probably the best to run suppressed since it is designed for it.
