First Look: FN Reflex Micro-Compact Pistol

Published by

NEW from FN comes the Reflex micro-compact pistol!

Slightly longer than a SIG P365 but with nearly identical width and height, the FN Reflex is the latest micro-compact to hit the market, and it has some nice features we don’t often see!

Using an internal hammer, the Reflex is SAO with a smooth 5-lb trigger pull. That, plus a cold hammer-forged barrel, gives the Reflex impressive accuracy right out of the box.

The grip features an aggressive texture on the front and back strap, with a slightly less aggressive texture on the sides. Both models of the Reflex also come with front and rear slide serrations. 

Three-dot iron sights have a front sight with a tritium insert. The FN Reflex comes in two models, MRD, and standard. The MRD model is optic-ready and cut for RMSc or Holosun-K series red dots. Screws are included for both footprints. 

The Reflex has a slim line rail for mounting sub-compact lights and reversible magazine release and uses either 10, 11, or 15-round magazines.

The 10 and 11-round magazines can be either flush-fit or have a pinky extension for more grip. For maximum grip, the 15-round magazine extends the grip frame to a full-hand size.

All models of the Reflex come with two magazines, either 1×11+1×15 or 2×10.

FN Reflex is available in both FN Tan and black.

MSRP for the standard model is $600, MSRP for the Reflex MRD is $660

  • Remove and trashcan all that trendy electronic sight, laser, flashlight crap, and it appears like it would be viable.

    • Yep. Learn to aim properly, learn to hold it properly and then practice, practice, practice. Many a good shooter has been made by learning how to actually use the proper technique even without all the crutches that seem so popular with the faux "gunmen" of today.
