1. Trijicon SRO Sight Adjustable LED 2.5 MOA Red Dot
Trijicon SRO comes with a patented design frame with adjustable brightness and a lightweight aluminum structure. At first sight, SRO can be a bit overwhelming to understand. It doesn’t look like your typical red dot or holographic sight.

For what it is, DeltaPoint Pro is one of the best red dot sights for FN 509. One of the best parts of this sight is the light management system of Leupold. That’s right, this sight also has Leupold’s iconic twilight light management system. Thanks to that, the performance of this sight in low light especially is remarkable.

Even if you get into accidents or drop your gun from a height, the reticle will stay in the position it’s supposed to. The sight here is available in 3 MOA or 6 MOA configurations.

Things To Keep in Mind Before Buying
While buying the perfect red dot sight for your pistol, you should keep a couple of things in consideration. That will make your decision much easier.
Size
Not a lot of people put deep thoughts into the size of the overall sight. If the sight is too big for the rail of your pistol, it will create an imbalance. The bad weight distribution will make you miss most of your shots. That’s why, you should stick to a moderately smaller sight.
Weight
Almost the same argument as size. Lighter sights are better.
Budget
Depending on how much you are willing to spend, the list of sights will shrink instantly. If you know how much you are willing to spend, the decision will be much easier.
Summary
FN 509 Tactical is a great gun that synergizes with a lot of sights out there. Finding the best sight for a gun like this is not an easy task. We never claimed it would be easy either. But if you read the entire thing and picked up on the little things we mentioned, I’m sure you are going out of here with a sight in your cart for your FN.
