FN 502 TACTICAL

FN built the 502 Tactical as the rimfire counterpart to the 509. Same grip, same ambidextrous controls, so muscle memory carries straight over. The 4.6-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 with a thread protector for a rimfire can, the slide is cut for a red dot with adapter plates included, and the suppressor-height sights co-witness cleanly once the optic goes on. Add a clean single-action trigger and both a 10 and a 15-round magazine in the box, and you’ve got a serious trainer that happens to be a blast.

All the trigger time, none of the ammo bill.
