If you’ve been wanting an FN handgun, now may be the perfect time to buy one. FN America is offering some significant rebates on select handguns until the end of the year. Trijicon is also offering a rebate program for their RMR and MRO reflex sights. These rebates range from $50 – $200 (depending on the model selected), making this one of the best rebate deals in a while. Both companies are military contractors known for their quality and durability.
Trijicon is the manufacturer of the renowned ACOG, which has been used by the US Military for years. It’s arguably the most durable optic ever made for the M16. Another popular optic from Trijicon is the RMR (ruggedized miniature reflex) sight. This reflex sight is the official SOCOM handgun optic and is possibly just as durable as the ACOG. I work in law enforcement and have used the RMR for years. It needs a batter change about once every two or three years, and that’s it.
FN Herstal is one of the largest small arms suppliers to the US military, making many of our machine guns, grenade launchers, and M4 rifles. They also make some great handguns that have undergone extreme testing, totaling more than one million rounds. The LAPD, the second largest law enforcement agency in the country, has started carrying the FN 509 MRD-LE. It’s just hard to beat a FN weapon, and the rebate is active right now. This means until the end of December, you can buy an FN handgun, equip it with a Trijicon optic, and receive a rebate on each one. Here’s a quick reference for each product and the rebate offered.
FN 502 Tactical Pistol: $50 Rebate
If you like .22 semi-auto pistols, this one is a winner. One of the first slide-mounted optics-ready rem-fire handguns, the 502 is a suppressor-ready hammer-fired handgun. Available in black or FDE, the 502 Tactical comes with a 10- and 15-round magazine. Plus, this gun uses FN’s low-profile mounting system, which works with multiple optics, including the Trijicon RMR. Having a good .22 semi-auto isn’t just fun; it’s also great for training. This would make a perfect gift or companion to your FN combat gun. The rebate is $50 until the end of December.
FN 509 Standard and MRD Pistols: $100 Rebate
Used as their flagship handgun for the 509 series, this gun was modeled after the FNS Compact. The company made some changes to the internal and external parts to meet the requirements of the US Military’s testing program, and the 509 was born. As mentioned above, a version of the 509 was adopted by the LAPD after rigorous testing. This gun has a non-manual safety, fixed 3-dot luminescent sights, and a polished chamber and feed ramp. The MRD version provides a removable optics plate and raised sights. They are offering a rebate of $100.
FN 509 Tactical and Edge Series Pistols: $125 Rebate
The FN 509 Tactical is a beefed-up version of the standard 509 handgun. It comes with a low-profile optics mounting system, threaded barrel, and suppressor height Trijicon 3-dot green Tritium night sights. Chambered in 9mm, the 509 Tactical will accommodate 10-, 17-, and 24-round magazines. This weapon was tested by the US Army during its Modular Handgun Trials. It has some added features made popular from the standard 509 series including a cold hammer forged barrel. Until December 31, 2023, you can receive a $125 rebate from FN after buying this pistol.
FN Five Seven MRD Pistols: $150 Rebate
This one is cool to own, and it shoots a fast little bullet. As the name implies, the “Five-Seven” is chambered for the 5.7x28mm cartridge. I have always thought of this gun as the equivalent of an AR-15 for handguns. It’s been used by some specialized law enforcement agencies because it can penetrate ballistic armor when the right ammo is used. While armor-piercing rounds are only available to the military and law enforcement, self-defense rounds are available for the Five-Seven handgun.
FN SCAR 15P (pistol): $200 Rebate
Last on the list for FN guns with a rebate is the FN SCAR 15P. The SCAR is one of FN’s most famous rifles and has been proven in battle many times over. This pistol version comes with a Picatinny rail on the back of the gun, so you can attach an arm brace. Note: check state and federal laws first before attaching an arm brace. It can also be used with a sling or a stock if you want to register it as a short-barrel rifle.
Trijicon Select MRO Optics: $50 Rebate
A company that needs no introduction, making battle-ready optics is what Trijicon does. This rebate will get you $50 back after purchasing a new MRO. The brightness control is on top, making it ambidextrous and easy to cycle through the eight brightness settings. It also has two night vision settings for those that need or want it. Crafted of 7075 aluminum, the MRO offers a staggering 5-year run time on one battery (standard red dot version).
Trijicon RMR Optic: $100 Rebate
The Trijicon RMR is a must-have for anyone who does some serious shooting. As mentioned above, Trijicon is the official US SOCOM handgun reflex sight. It’s been tested and used more than any other handgun optic, and it holds up to about any abuse. A $100 rebate is being offered on the RMR until the end. That makes this one of the best deals for an optic you can find. If you want the best of the best, try out the RMR and get a $100 check in the mail afterward.
Ready for a rebate?
Once you decide what handgun you want, don’t forget to pick up some extra mags. GunMag Warehouse has a lot of great deals going on until the end of the year. You may also want a good combat holster to go finish the set. I recommend Safariland holsters because they have been tested and used by the military and law enforcement for years. Safariland makes holsters like the 7360 series that fit an optic and light in the holster.
These rebates provide lots of options for an FN pistol and the best optic to go with it. Just make sure your purchase is before the end of the day on December 31, 2023. Instructions will come with them on how to redeem the rebate. You can also go to their website and find the rebate link. Fill out the information from your ticket and the serial number on the optic or firearm. After that, just sit back and wait for your check to come in the mail.
