This replacement magazine is a factory original from FN. Factory replacement parts are manufactured to the exact same specifications and tolerances and use the same manufacturing materials as the original parts which guarantees excellent fit and reliable operation. The FN 509 LS Edge 9mm magazine was designed specifically for the 509 LS Edge pistol and will NOT work with any other 509 model.Keeping a few extra factory magazines around is never a bad idea; extra magazines save loading time at the range and also serve as a backup for those days when you simply cannot remember where you put your primary magazine.
