If you ask most gun owners about humidity they will say it is bad for your guns. Yes, humidity can be bad for your guns. Too much and, oh yes, too little can be bad for your guns as well. So, to define the parameters of the battle, let’s consider the correct level of humidity.

Father’s Day is that time of year that Gun Guy dads are plagued by the confused looks of kids and wives after answering the question, “What would you like for Father’s Day?” These are then followed by a bevy of questions: “What is that? Where can I get that?” and the dreaded, “How much do those cost?”

The Remington Tac-14 is one of the newest additions.

We here at GunsAmerica first heard about what would become the FN 509 back in January, 2016 at SHOT Show. There were plenty of looks back and forth between the FN folks, followed by a polite “We’ll get back to you” when asked about it. Fast-forward 12 months to the 2017 SHOT Show, and FN responded with an invitation to a meeting at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas. At that meeting, we were given the opportunity to fire a few hundred rounds through the FN 509.
