FN 502

[L0ckNL0@d]

Hi All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Semi-retired due to the scamdemic and my parent's health. Relatively new to firearms but really like the hardware and scientific mechanics involved. Jumping to the reason for my post/the new thread. I am puzzled as to why I have been unsuccessful in purchasing an FN 502 pistol. I love the optics ready slide, threaded barrel and the overall quality of FN. I had been monitoring the results of the recent board meetings and saw the 502 approved. In the approved handgun listings, the 502 is listed but under Umarex, the actual manufacturer.
I have tried purchasing online after not finding any locally but was told this could not be sold to a Maryland resident. Can anyone provide some insight or additional information? I have my wife interested/going to the range (obviously so I can go more) and know she would love this handgun. Thanks in advance for any responses and for the valuable insight and information y'all provide daily. God bless America!!

What's the magazine size? They might not be shipping it because no model is available with a 10 round magazine

I've bought other firearms with magazines larger than 10. They just ship to my FFL without the magazine.

I transferred one last week.
It came with a 10 and a 15 round mag. I blocked the 15.

 

[L0ckNL0@d]

Thanks. I found one online just now and emailed the site to ask them to withhold the 15-round mag. Awaiting the reply.

They should send the 15 also. Why give up a mag?
Your ffl can block it. I’ve handled many transfers where mags weren’t sent and every time I’ve told the customer they shouldn’t have given that dealer the sale.

Have the mags sent and your dealer block it. They won’t block the mags for you (even for a small fee)? Then find a different dealer, yours sucks.

You can the FDE model from Bas Pro

Careful with the 15 sticks. The base plate consistently shoots off when I load the mag in my 502. The 10s are just fine.
