Two years ago, FN released its first commercially available 9mm titanium suppressor, the FN Rush 9Ti. Although the FN Rush 9Ti is compatible with any 9mm pistol whose barrel has ½ by 28 inch threads, this new suppressor is naturally tailor-made for the FN 509 Tactical Series of pistols as well.
For example, not only can the FN 509 Tactical’s taller suppressor height sights clear the outer circumference of the Rush 9Ti, but the body of the suppressor also stays well-balanced while it’s mounted on the pistol. One of the areas where FN’s engineers paid critical attention is the Rush 9Ti’s baffle system which set out to seal gasses very tightly and ensure they are exhausted forward towards the muzzle in order to reduce blowback and interference with the shooter.

An included 1/2×28″ booster assembly proves unique. Dubbed the “smallest, most lightweight on the market,” it helps produce a tight gas piston seal. The corresponding gas flows through the blast chamber and baffle stack, timed to enable rear neutral impact to slide cycle speeds, according to FN. The design goes after reliability in function. It reduces back pressure into the firearm, reducing overall wear and tear, along with felt recoil, according to FN.
“When selecting a suppressor, customers often have to choose between effective sound suppression, reduced blowback or felt recoil; you very rarely get all in one,” said John Ryan, Director of Product Management for FN America, LLC. “Our team developed a suppressor that delivers an unmatched shooting experience straight from the box. You no longer have to settle for one or the other with the Rush 9Ti.”
