(McLean, VA – March 17, 2020) FN America, LLC is pleased to introduce the FN 503™, a slim 9mm striker-fired pistol designed specifically for concealed carry.
Using the design, performance and reliability standards of the FN 509® family as inspiration, the FN 503 has been purpose-built to conceal quickly and discreetly without compromising on the features and performance FN customers require – like it’s 3.1-inch barrel with recessed target crown to ensure dependable accuracy; enlarged controls and soft recoil that make the FN 503 comfortable and controllable to shoot; and, FN 509-style low-profile iron sights.
The all-new skateboard tape-style grip texture provides all-day carry comfort and the all-metal trigger, arguably the best in its class, breaks crisply and consistently with an average of 5-pound trigger pull, resulting in a carry pistol with trustworthy dependability and reliability.
The FN 503 ships with one 6-round magazine with pinky extender and one 8-round magazine with grip sleeve in FN’s standard soft-sided zippered case. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the FN 503 is $549.00.

Wishing for a Glock 48 Sized gun from FN
Well considering how FN is only 5 years behind Glock on a subcompact single stack I would say that you should expect a 48 sized gun in…….2024.
I like FN!
However, I feel like this handgun doesn’t really stand out in the concealed carry market. There are already quite a few choices out these, and 6 or 8 round capacity, doesn’t have me all that excited.
Kinda wish FN would have made this around Hi Power magazines…
I suppose having an “under-capacity’d” sub-compact pistol is better than having nothing at all in the product lineup.
If only the slide release was ambidextrous or reversible…
Considering people can hardly give away their first gen M&P Shields now…i
