FN America 503 Semi-Auto Micro-Compact Pistol 9mm Luger 3.1" Barrel (1)-6Rd,(1)-8Rd Mags 3-Dot Sights Flat Dark Earth Finish
The FN 503 is the highly concealable micro-compact pistol perfectly suited for concealed carry. With a legendary reputation of FN durability to uphold, the compromises in shootability, accuracy and reliability with slim CCW handguns are solved. FN chose beefy metal parts and a better balance point to a rigid frame on a slim slide, tuning out felt recoil. Benefits of an oversize extractor and slide stop ensure failsafe feeding and control, with full height grip stippling locking into the hand to reduce muzzle flip.
The FN 503 delivers the confidence and repeatability for serious shooters who expect more from their concealed carry handgun. Accuracy is delivered with a best-in class all-metal trigger that breaks cleanly at 5.5lbs, with a crisp sight picture from metal, snag-free 3-dot sights. Available in flat dark earth and black, the advanced ergonomics of the FN 503 allow instinctive and fast changes between the included 6-round and 8-round magazines.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity. — Craig Boddington
