Having a handgun that performs as reliably as possible in any situation is ultimately the end goal of serious handgunners, and this often involves enhancing components with proven replacements. One of these must-have enhanced components is the Apex Tactical Failure Resistant Extractor designed for the FN 509. The Apex Tactical Failure Resistant Extractor is purpose-built to ensure that the gun consistently and reliably extracts spent rounds in adverse conditions. The extractor is machined from heat-treated stainless steel and features a specially developed extractor-hook geometry machined by a wire-EDM process. For durability, the extractor is then treated with a black-nitride finish.
