FN Delivers First Shipment of FN 509 MRD-LE Duty Pistols to LAPD
Back in August 2021 we reported that Los Angeles Police Department had selected the FN 509 MRD-LE as its new LAPD duty pistol. FN America were awarded a contract to equip the entire department over the next five years. FN America have now announced that the first batch of approximately 10,000 pistols has been delivered.
FN 509 MRD-LE Selected As The New LAPD Duty Pistol
After a series of tests that included a 20,000 round endurance qualification, the FN 509 MRD-LE has been selected as the new LAPD Duty Pistol. All of the new pistols will feature FN’s MRD optics mounting system which will bring red dot capabilities to one of the largest police departments in the United States. Although the press release does not include information on a contract amount or the number of pistols to be provided, the award covers a five year period and provides guns to the entire 10,000 person department.
