FN REFLEX - Pistol Review

[@trinomoreno9212]

Wish FN could make this in DA/SA

[@avisliberis]

There's PX4 Compact Carry for that ;)

[@dreigreen6941]

​@avisliberis It's a 1 inch taller and longer than the FN Reflex. The best one would be Px4 Storm Subcompact, but they are discontinued :/ Relative to size and not caliber. The Bersa 380 combat plus is DA/SA 15+1 and $100 cheaper. Disadvantages are hollow points expansion, but then again I'm not sure if micro 9mm hollow points are any better.

[@childrenofalessergod]

Why?

[@brandonevans9521]

Exactly why I prefer to carry longer barrels appendix, I feel like my full size guns conceal better than most of my micros because of barrel length. G48 is about as small as I can go before they start printing more. It seems counter intuitive but it works. Glad to see you guys thinking outside the box to help your customers get more concealment.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

thank you

[@Kevin-hl9vo]

Awesome. Enjoy your stuff.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Much appreciated!

I've had 3 Reflexes (Long story) and all of them had problems. I bought them to replace G43s. I love the FN grip, I love the sights, and the trigger is pretty good from the factory. All of them had failure to feed problems. One would have a soft strike about every 3rd round. We tried 5 different types of ammo and 9 different magazines. We put about 200 rounds through each gun. All of them would shoot low left no matter who was shooting it. I put Holosun 507k red dots on 2 of them and I had the elevation up maxed out and it still wouldn't bring the POI up to POA. I put a laser bore sight cartridge in them and it would not line up with the iron sights. It showed low left on all of them. The same laser bore sight lined up perfectly in all of my other handguns. I sold 2 of them and the 3rd one has been at FN since September for repair, in hopes that I can at least have one good one. That was 3 months ago and it's still not fixed.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

great feedback. we have 2 with no issues

[@trumpurace1635]

Wow! I almost purchased one tonight and was going to go back tomorrow to get it. Any updates from FN on these issues?

[@aaronsspatcositevideos8463]

Bought one 3 days ago 200 rounds later not one issue, I’d think it’s the shooter more than the gun with these issues your having

[@RepentorPerish77]

I REALLY like my FN 545 MRD. Its trigger is a MAJOR upgrade from the 509s. This Reflex really interest me

[@apodbielski913]

Been debating on ditching my Gen1 Shield for one.. it’s the beater/summer carry go to. Just got your holster for the Shadow2 Compact, and liking it a lot so far! Don’t really find I need a claw for the 3 o’clock position, but still super comfortable.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

definitely ditch the shield 1. Thanks so much for the purchase!

[@pewpewTN]

Been carrying that exact set-up for about 7 months now. Really like it & I really like the EPS carry.

[@Abruzzo333]

Interesting to hear that it's so snappy. Several other reviews say it bounces right back on target and has better recoil than any other micro 9mm.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

it's snappy, but RTZ is nice. correct

[@13lackNexus]

Something worth mentioning is that in the manual it says it is a center hold iron sight, but from what I've heard and my experience (about 600 rounds) it is a combat hold iron.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

center for me! interesting observation

[@True-word74]

I have 4 reflex’s all of them are amazing best edc gun and no one is close

[@The1860th]

This seems like a solid upgrade to my non OR P10S. I really like the S but it’s kinda thiccc.

[@bobsmoot2392]

Reholstering FAST, with that light trigger, facing your junk and femoral artery... YIKES! What's the rush? Convenience?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

that's not a fast reholster.

Great review. Now I am subscribed.

[@rosemarsili9159]

I'm torn between this and the P365 TBH. I have small hands and muscle rigidity issues due to a lifelong condition, although I've managed racking and shooting the Sig without any real problems. That said, I've heard that this one is overall easier to rack (since it's hammer-fired) and a softer shooter, although I have yet to find a range near me that has one to rent. Would this be a good P365/Hellcat alternative for a lady with grip strength/muscle issues?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

i like the reflex as a blaster all around, but the p365 has been proven. Have heard rumors of issues with the reflex and want to investigate further. All new platforms have issues

[@stevejordan9567]

Cool little pistol.

[@dylanchristoff3830]

Is this the holster I would get it if I ordered an IWB holster from your website? The ones on your website looks different and I want the one showed here

[@ANRDesignLLC]

yes

[@briankillian5248]

I am purchasing my very first handgun...ever. I have settled on the FN Reflex. What system are you using to measure each of your shots? I apologize for being so ignorant.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

measuring what of the shots?

[@briankillian5248]

@@ANRDesignLLC You were wearing some sort of device that was giving you a sound for you to fire.

[@kawikadee9670]

Out of the box the gun shoots low left, but with the red dot the gun will be more accurate.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

low left? sounds like user error

[@kawikadee9670]

@@ANRDesignLLCNo not at all. The gun has an accuracy issue out of the box but if you use a red dot then it will be accurate. Some videos that show low left. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3PCZHqbeaidrtEsi=IezVHvRBKjhsCj9f kzbin.info/www/bejne/b33Gomd4qK2WetUsi=-_gHZs8j4J0HJYor

I had the same problem. I did some research and adjusted the rear sight. More practice and now it’s on the dime all the time

[@Dbavbrand]

I seriously wanna see the p365

[@kenna.9368]

I thought the reflex was going to be a bigger hit than it was.

[@Mikephx528]

Can you see the standard sights through the eps optic?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

not entirely

[@djchuckdiesel5200]

Any updates on when the holster for the reflex will Be available?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

on our website in quick ship

[@jonspencer7004]

Is a lengthier holster a better solution than a tier one concealed wedge? I was wondering why you wouldn’t just recommend a wedge on the micro nine holster.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

yes

[@festerofest4374]

Looks like a great micro pistol. If I didn't like my 365XL so much and just wanted something new, hell yea. I imagine the trigger WOULD be smoother with the internal hammer vs striker. ​ @ANRDesignLLC - You mention the snappiness... would you say it is the same, or more snappy than the 365XL? I find my 365XL amazingly smooth for such a tiny pistol so I'm curious how you compare the two?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

similar

If the trigger doesn't reset right that ignorant internal hammer will bite you in the butt. You'll have a dead trigger.

do you have holsters for the Reflex that are light bearing?

Bought this pistol 2 months ago, and it’s great but I just wish FN would make a threaded barrel for it

[@anondjfizzle]

yes

[@jonspencer7004]

Are these holsters open at the muzzle?

open enough for TBs

[@RobPFrank]

Want to get one but have seen and heard 2 major issues, trigger doesn’t reset in some situations and people have reported flaws with the coating on the slide has caused very light surface rust from sweat from resting from being concealed.
