FN Reflex Vs Everybody

[@spnfirearms]

Watch the p365 vs hellcat 500 rounds each in one video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZWzZomqh7tre7csi=f5Mvx8KhpQPk8JCJ

[@chase8289]

This video needed to be made owned my reflex 8 months now over 1000 rounds and it’s been solid asf completely flawless

[@knunn5171]

Since when did the status quo become something even worth mentioning? That’s what guns are supposed to do. Run. That’s the bare minimum that they run. I bought three pistols last year with all over a 1000 with zero malfunctions. I could count malfunctions of all my modern guns on one hand.

[@norbertotirado819]

In which 1,000s are yours? (serial #)

​@knunn5171 1000 rounds is such a low round count too. That's barely breaking a gun in..

[@AlwaysSlimShadyBro]

Until u need it

[@DG-yc2cx]

I picked up a CSX last weekend. It is the finest handgun I have owned.

[@heyeveryonebecool]

Glad I came across this. I’ve been looking at several options for a new edc and just discovered the FN reflex last night in a recommended KZbin video and it’s perfect. Been wanting to see it compared next to other guns. This was perfect

[@adamdawson7452]

Mine has been absolutely flawless also. FN is and always has been my go to brand. I’ve never shot a pistol that even compares to any FN I’ve ever owned.

[@Ollegram]

Love the content bro! I actually had to file down my extractor in the leading edge. It failed to feed A LOT. even from dropping the slide in the locked position as to rule out user error. I’ve got over 600 rounds through mine. I shot low left like others until I fixed my grip. It’s a nice cc!

[@scottbryant9425]

My 2 EDC options, Mc2sc and the Reflex. I prefer the ergos of the mc2sc with the 11 round because I put a pinky ext on it and it's better the the FN ext. With the ext mag, I prefer the Reflex. Overall the FN is the better shooter but also has a much lighter trigger pull. The Mossberg is way underrated for an edc, it's truly excellent.

[@pewpewTN]

My Reflex has been fantastic so far. I've been carrying it for about 7 months now with a Holosun EPS Carry. Probably my favorite EDC setup I've ever owned.

[@Abruzzo333]

Is this finish as bad as he says or did he just beat the hell out of his?

[@pewpewTN]

@Abruzzo333 I've carried mine for a year & put ~2k rounds through it & mine looks brand new.

[@jackbauer9077]

I like the reflex, I got a tan one and black one both 100% with 500-1000 rounds thru them and they are great. I prefer them over the hellcat, But over time I think my favorite is s&w CSX, with shield plus in close second. I’ve had all the micro 9mm and CSX is my favorite with xs big dot sights.

[@danielhess39]

Thanks 👍🏼 great comparison🤩

[@justin5421]

Why compare the Reflex 15 round extended mag to the MC2SC 11 round flush fit instead of the 14 or 16 round Mossberg extended mag? I own both and really want to love the Reflex, but looks like I got a lemon. I called FN and they said I needed to “break it in using 124gr” so I’ve since done that but still having issues. The mags will NOT lock in smoothly. I have to slam them in and sometimes they still won’t lock. I’m gonna have to call FN again and send mine in. I’m really hoping that when I get it back it works like yours does. You’re my favorite guntuber! I love your honesty and your blue collar approach. Keep up the good work! Update: Sent my FN Reflex in and I DID INDEED have a lemon. They replaced the slide amongst other things and since getting it back it’s been awesome with no malfunctions. If I get to 1K rounds with 0 malfunctions it will enter the carry rotation

[@MrGoofySir]

[@BrandonWatkins614]

Did it make it to 1k rounds?

[@justin5421]

@@BrandonWatkins614It’s been perfect since I got it back from FN. I have 700 rounds through it since I got it back

[@PFSquirrel]

@@justin5421 Any word on what they fixed or swapped?

[@justin5421]

@ They replaced the frame so there was clearly something wrong/out of spec which made it so hard to get the mags to seat and lock properly. It’s been 100% reliable since I got it back and even with the original frame it still always went bang

[@dtrain3219]

Why didn’t u compare with the other mag it came with?

I have 3 handguns and a fourth on the way my wife says I have too many. I just showed her this and told her to stop nagging me. Lol. Picking up my 1st rifle in two weeks. Slowly building the lineup.

[@thePreparedFather]

You’re on the same journey as me brother, mind if I ask what your EDC is and what rifle you’re getting?

[@ichirow8a]

@@thePreparedFather now I’m running a G26 with the TLR6 which is soon to come off once I get the new holster I ordered. 12+1 with mag extension and a G19 mag for backup. The AR pistol is a 11.5” Noveske upper with a Armas de Guerra lower.

[@thePreparedFather]

@@ichirow8a oh okay, that’s not too bad, I think I am going with a cheaper option for the AR, specifically BCM or PSA

[@hixnada8278]

Pretty sure the Reflex isn’t cerekoted. Also, P2000SK for the win! It’s still a great gun and I wish it got the attention it deserved.

[@hybridmultimedia6436]

Need to go to the range, I think I'm a Hellcat for my EDC 2.0 Glock 17 Gen 3 at my post. Love this channel, dudes SPN!!!!🏁🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@spnfirearms]

Respect, great choices. And I appreciate that, respect

[@Billy-hx3zi]

Man you have an impressive collection going on. Love the channel! I want a reflex so bad but it really reminds me of my hellcat pro, which I love. I might end up getting it for the hell of it 🤣 also looking at the sig P365 SAS and/or XL

[@trace4125]

I had a fn reflex but I had a couple of failures to feed caused by the extractor shape imo. Ultimately I traded it bc after a week of working outside it had severe rust on the slide and internals. I don’t care to call a manufacturer and have them send in a fixed version if it doesn’t work out of the box I don’t want it. I really wanted to like the fn reflex but the hellcat is the way to go.

[@BuddaBanks]

First Comment! 🙌🏾 Also I really want a reflex lol

[@deucedeuce1572]

You think that all Cerakote wears like that or has the Cerakote just been done bad on the reflex? (or is it the lesser quality Cerakote like the air cure?). I like Cerakote, but I've been on the fence lately though, because I've seen excellent Cerakoted firearms that were immensely durable... but at the same time have seen terrible Cerakote jobs that can be scratched off with a finger nail or even just flakes off like snow while shooting the gun. I wonder about the H-Series and the E-series (elite series) too... and if the elite series is worth it. It don't cost more at all, but it's supposed to be thinner and more durable. It requires a much higher curing temperature though, so won't work on plastics most of the time.

[@spnfirearms]

It’s fn’s cerakote. I have so many handguns that have much more draws, holster time and shooting and have a much nice look to it. This finish isn’t very resistant. Just fn’s fault

[@deucedeuce1572]

@@spnfirearms Cool. Thanks. I don't have a whole lot of experience with Cerakote... but plan to in the future. Have a whole ton of parts I have to get coated and really don't want to have to deal with soft, easily damaged parts. I got a barrel Cerakoted once and I didn't even make it home before I had 2 scratches in the surface from things that just shouldn't have been able to scratch it (...and the scratches were down to the bare metal. They were like chips and scratches all in one.)

[@TCW838]

@spnfirearms I have 1,000+ rounds through my 509, 850+ in my 545 and 320+ in my Reflex. Only thing on the Creatok is at the friction points. Creatote is ugly as hell no matter who does it. If I want pretty, I'll pull out my blued Colt Commander (duty holster time), Python or Trooper. I'll pull out one of my blued or stainless S&W J or K frames that have duty holster time as well. Creatoke is great for durability, but it's ugly as crap. No one puts out a Creatoke finish that's nice to look at, nobody.

[@deucedeuce1572]

@@TCW838 I don't think that's the case. There are MANY nice looking Cerakote, single color guns. Yeah, it's not as nice as bluing or stainless... but neither is Black Nitride. I am no fan of colorful guns. Yeah, some might be nice for a conversation piece or something... but I just like black, gray/silver, wood and black polymer (with a few exceptions). I've definitely seen some nice looking Cerkoted guns though. I also don't think companies would be selling Cerakoted guns if they didn't look good. I'm legitimately surprised that anyone would say that there are no nice looking Cerakoted guns, because I've seen so many 100's, if not 1000s of them. On the other hand though, I have seen ugly Cerakote guns and definitely some ugly Durakote guns. In fact, most of the people I've ever seen use Durakote, use it specifically to make their guns ugly. The same is true with spray paint.

[@TCW838]

@deucedeuce1572 Respectfully, to each their own on finishes. I guess I just see it differently. Most shooters coming up over the last 20 years or so we're raised on it since it was so widely used in the military. As I said, they win in the durability category, hands down. I've just never seen any that are more than simply 'functional', that runs the gambit from HK down to Smith and everything in between. Don't get me wrong, I have several including a HK USP45, FN 509, 545, Reflex. Not as if I refuse them, actually my edc is one. But if we're talking esthetics, I prefer blued or satin stainless. To each their own.

[@HamFlare_12345]

Hey SPN firearms i was just wondering, i know this sounds dumb but i just want to read your opinion, people say that everything has a life span including guns which is obvious. But how likely is it for my EDC firearm to break in middle of a fight?

[@spnfirearms]

Not very likely. That would depend on round count, preventative maintenance etc. I wouldn’t worry about it respect

[@answersforlooking9430]

talkin about the sleeper of the year...... spn is sleeper of the year guntuber...... i dont care what anybody says..... thanks spn!

[@spnfirearms]

I appreciate that greatly man, that means a lot. The 500 round Vs 500 round video coming soon!

[@jermeburns6870]

I love the way it shoots love the way it feels but mine's already rusting after being in an appendix carry holster the entire time after owning it for 6 months very disappointed

[@sk8thundr]

I figured it out! Ok so I think the reason why everyone gets so mad about the Sig hate is because a gun like the reflex is in around the same price/quality category as the p365 with probably a worse reputation and you still stick by it. While its exactly the same for a Sig (I do agree that a $5-600 gun shouldn't have any issues out of the box) But yet, the Sig gets nothing but hate. I kinda feel like its maybe due to the fact that the p365 is the top selling handgun and it gets a massive hype train behind it. The people that road the train and had a good time are the ones that get mad. Bc it is again, the same for them. If there's works fine, then that's all there really needs to be said about it. So then it just feels like a personal thing like were dumb for picking the p365. Thats where the hate comes from bc I carry a p365 but I also recognize Glock, S&W, springfield and all the other guns you like too, but that's just the gun I chose. I dont get mad really bc I know mine is a good one but it is annoying getting told you made the wrong choice by someone you like watching.

[@michaelchan877]

Probably has to do with a lot of people and officers getting shot in the leg by their own P320s going off in the holsters without the trigger pulled. Also I heard the Sig CEO tried to illegally sell firearms to Columbia but managed to escape jail time.

[@stepheno.2730]

I just bought a new MRD in FDE. It should be here in a few days, I can’t wait.

[@marksmith7621]

Did you mention the reflex has 11 round flush fit mag

[@Paseoman]

I have a FDE Reflex that had FTF with Herter's target ammunition. With other ammo it never had issues. Shoots low left with stock sights but put sig #8 rear and it shoots great now. Accuracy is still very hard to shoot but thats due to me being a new shooter. I regret my purchase a bit and should have test shot it before. Test your guns before you buy them by renting at a range.

[@Phillmo8]

Hate the reflex with the jamming and now the trigger bar support spring coming off after barely wiping it I'm about ready to trade it in

[@kingo290]

Got a brand new reflex. Went to the range and it definitely shoots low left. Shot my dagger to make sure it wasn’t me. And the reflex definitely have a accuracy problem. Other than that. Love the way it feels and carry.

[@zachmueller2912]

If it ain't accurate, whats the point?

If you don’t care for aftermarket parts get the reflex, I love mine. You might need to invest in better iron sights ( sig #8 ) to correct low left issues

[@thePreparedFather]

@@MYH_22 it’s not that I don’t care for aftermarket’s, it’s just I don’t wanna spend an extra 300 to get the Glock(at least trigger) in order. So yeah, you’re probably right. FN also looks sexier lmfao
