The short version: FN 510 is my new favorite 10mm; FN customer service was pathetic and zero help.
The long version: Ergonomics, grip texture, looks, capacity, red dot mounting system, all set this FN 510 above the crowd of 10mm beginning to flood the market. Right out of the box it would not reliably chamber our 180gr 10mm reloads nor Sig or S&B factor 180gr 10mm loads. About 5% of the time the slide would not go fully into battery (~1/8" shy of full slide closure). Ejection patterns were erratic ranging from 2 - 7 o'clock. I contacted FN customer service via their website and no one connected with me. Sent another request for help and still radio silent. Took matters into my own hands and looked carefully at the extractor, ejector, and chamber. Turns out there was a circumferential ridge at the bottom mouth of the chamber just above the feed ramp. I polished the chamber to remove the ridge. Problem solved. Gun eats everything we feed it and deposits the cases at 4 - 5 o'clock. All total we have about 600 rounds through this FN 510. It's a keeper. FN Customer Service needs to step up their game.
