FN Reflex and Reflex MRD

ByNews Desk

FN America has finally entered the Micro 9 market. The FN Reflex and FN Reflex MDR are polymer-framed, 9mm micro-compact pistols designed to compete with the SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, and similar CCW handguns. The standard Reflex is a traditional slick-top, slimline pistol; the Reflex MRD is optic-ready with a factory-milled slide.

FN Reflex: what you need to know

  • Dimensions are 1-inch wide, 4.25 inches tall, 6.3 inches overall length
  • Weight is just over a pound: 18.4 oz.
  • 3.3 inch barrel is cold hammer-forged and target crowned
  • Officially mags are 11-round and 15-round capacity, but we’ve seen 10-round versions listed as well
  • The trigger breaks somewhere between 4.5 and 5 lbs
  • It utilizes an internal Single Action Only (SAO) hammer
  • The slide is 6.2 inches long, with the front and rear cocking serrations we now expect to on a factory gun
  • It does have an accessory rail; compact lights like the TLR-7 Sub and Surefire XSC should be good to go
  • Both models utilize 3-dot sights, with an orange tritium dot insert up front
  • Sight radius is 5.05 inches
  • The slide on the MRD version is factory-milled to utilize Holsoun K/Shield RMSc footprint optics
  • The palm is in-mold stippled; front and back straps are textured in vertical scales

The FN Reflex MRD will accept the Holosun K series optics, the Shield RMSc, and/or several other brands and models that use that footprint.

PRIMARY FEATURES

  1. Max-capacity micro-compact perfected for concealment
  2. Optics Ready (MRD variant)
  3. Best-in-Class Trigger
  4. Advanced ergonomics for control and shootability
  5. Cold hammer-forged, target-crowned for accuracy

  8. Long-wearing PVD finish

Both versions of the Reflex are equipped with three-dot sight that have an orange circle tritium insert on the front blade. On the MRD these would likely be secondary, as the Reflex is compatible with the RMSc, Holosun K-series, and several other optics utilizing that footprint.

In addition to the weapons themselves, FN America has made the Reflex Holster available. The Reflex Holster is a thin-profile, injection-molded Inside the WaistBand (IWB) rig designed to give Reflex-buyers an immediate carry option (though we expect to see numerous after-market options make themselves known soon).

FN America describes the Reflex, in part,

“The FN Reflex is capable of achieving match-grade accuracy from its a 3.3-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, which is housed within a 6.2-inch slide that has front and rear cocking serrations for easy slide racking and press checks. Both models are configured with three-dot iron sights with a tritium front night sight that aids in low light sight acquisition. Micro red dot (MRD) models have a factory-milled slide to direct mount a micro red dot in a few minutes. The optics mount features a top plate that is removed to install a micro red dot and includes mounting screws. The optic mounting system is compatible with the Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series and is capable of accepting more than six micro red dot optics with similar footprints. Configured with the smallest optics, the FN Reflex MRD is extremely low profile, making deep concealment even easier with reduced snag points under cover garments.”
