Dude, that is your most spot on review that I've watched. I have been stalking this gun in my friend's shop for days. I asked him if he ever shot it and he said "No, it's new." I know he didn't because he's an unapologetic Sig guy with an X-Macro. It actually isn't that new. He said you're never gonna know until you buy try it. So I picked it up and played with it and just kept doing it. He said, "Put a hundred down on it and I'll let you take it to the range." It's mine now. I hope you're wrong about the FDE. It seduced me. To be clear I wanted a deep concealment "You can forget it's on you" type gun. That's where this thing absolutely rocks. I like how it sits in the hand much better than the P365. It fills the hands better and has a much better trigger IMO. It is super light. I know why we agree on the trigger. In principle I like DA/SA guns. They have properties thar make them safer out of the gate in most cases. Not so much in this case. It is far similar to a striker trigger, but if you have a bit of DA experience you can feel the hammer. I think this feels like Hk's LEM trigger. It does have a very discernable light crisp wall. I love my P30sk. It's my bigger carry. But it's wide and really fits your hand. So comfortable. The Reflex fits my hand amazingly for such a small gun and it shoots like a bigger gun. Nothing I've ever felt this size or close to it shoots with as little recoil. This thing is really not snappy. To be fair, I shot an LC9s well and was used to snappy guns. This has nowhere near the same sting it does without a comp. I love that it is so awesome for $500. I think this gun is gonna hurt S9CC sales. That and the morons at Hk really sat on their hands. I won't look at something close to this for $650 when this costs $500. I can hit at 50 yards with this tiny thing and it doesn't hurt my hands or make them sting. I guess the advantage of the Hk's is their finish. Owning three Hk's I can say their finish is pretty impressive. Another siliarity is where the trigger breaks. My VP9 has a trigger with a little take up, that hits a solid wall that breaks far forward vs some that break near the frame, which I like less. This way you have no time to screw up the shot of less time. In short, this thing is awesome for $500. It shoots like a bigger gun. I hit the center of the target and say, "Holy shit! It's shouldn't be this small and this good... for $500." FN hit it out of the park.

At the range people come up to me asking about the gun. Now I understand why it’s soo true that you have to train with your gun to really get the best out of your EDC.

I realized in the past having larger firearms impacted my life negatively. Harder to play sports with the kids, had to be active, having to dress differently, having to pull my pants up more etc. now, if it doesn’t affect anything I’ll carry my 26 with a 15 round mag. But if I’m taking my daughter and son scootering through the neighborhood then I’m taking something smaller. Just train with it, carry good ammo, and test it and it will be good! Respect

You nailed it about pocket carry in one of your older videos and the comments were brutal and it made me mad.

I just now got the hellcat pro and have ordered the Vedder pocket locker for it based on your review. It should shave about a half a second off my presentation time over the sticky holster I am using for now. Also it disappears in my big pocket Red Kap Industrial Cargo pants just like my uniform when I did residential HVAC.

I love my Reflex, ZERO issues! I watched some videos of those who had some FTF issues yesterday, so I put some dummy rounds in my gun and I was able to replicate the FTF issues some have complained about. However, if you rack the slide with a purpose the FTF issue does not occur (at least with mine). Most semi autos will experience FTF if you weakly rack the slide but the Reflex appears to me to be a little more sensitive to this. I’ve had no FTF issue while firing the gun.
@scottbryant94256 ай бұрын
I love my Reflex, and I agree with almost your entire review. It really does shoot strangely well for such a small gun. Recoil is unlike every other small 9 I own. That said, there is a problem with the Reflex extractor shape that causes a whole lot of these to have feed failures. The fix is easy but FN refuses to acknowledge the issue. They're a bit too proud of the design, which is unfortunate because the gunnhas gotten a bad rep for its issues. Once mine was fixed, I ran 300 rounds through it without a single failure. I'm over 500 now and no problems. However, when new , I had 27 failures to feed in one range session. Considering the price, and the reputation FN has, I really wish they would resolve this at the factory and round off the extractors inner edge at the factory. Zero issues with accuracy from the factory, in fact I find it so easy to hit target at 15 yds.

Love mine. Mine DEFINITELY shot low with the factory sights no matter who shot it and even from a vice. Great groups, just low. I replaced the rear sight with a .3" height sight and BINGO!

Pretty sure one of the guntubers had discovered that many of these came from the factory with the wrong height sights. They measured them and they were actually the sights from the 509 compact instead of the height that was said to be on the Reflex. FN has refused to acknowledge the mishap. Such an awesome trigger system and internal hammer. I just wish they would figure out the finish on them, and admit they messed up the sights on early models.

I don't think that's true. The 509 is a 9mm. If they said they put 510 sights on it, then maybe that might make sense, but I'm not sure that would have produced the right result people were getting. Like with SIG they use a certain height sight for .40 and a different height sight for 9mm. Well, when you go to.357SIG, the right height sight is the 9mm sight. Going from a 9mm sight to a 9mm sight, the trajectory is the same. With .357SIG the trajectory is flatter, but I guess doesn't really factor from 9mm to .357SIG but it does from .40 to .357SIG and 9mm. The other issue, I think one guntuber demonstrates in his video with context in the comments, is that they didn't understand what a "combat hold" is.. FN replied to him, that they use a combat hold to sight in the pistol. Well, he took his "low and left" shooting Reflex, put it in a vice, sighted it, and it appeared to have solved the left part, but it was still shooting low. In the comments, someone asked about whether FN used a vice to sight in, or if they used a combat hold. Referring to the combat hold as though they thought a combat hold was a grip technique rather than a sight picture reference. All I know, is mine shoots where I aim it. Whether I'm at 3-7-15-25-50 yards it does its part, if I do mine. The first few rounds I shot out of mine, I was antsy while we were running a line of rifle shooters, so I took some shots at a steel plate we have above our berm. I didn't expect to be able to hit anything, but I was surprised that I was able to hit like 11 or 12 out of 15 rounds from about 125yards, using 115gr Speer Gold Dot GDHP duty rounds. By the end of the day, I did indeed start hitting low and left, but it was literally like maybe an inch to inch and a half, but I verified with one of our range pool G22s it was just me, because I shot the exact same group, same placement with the G22. From shooting the Reflex, my FNX45, SIG P229(.357SIG), and Glock 22, I shot well over 500rnds that day, and just got sloppy. Still I was shooting within an inch to inch and a half of a quarter size dot at 7 yards with the group still touching the dot. I find it hard to believe they allowed pistols to leave with the wrong sights. The explanation, in this video, and people not knowing what the combat hold sight picture is, makes way more sense, than FN put the wrong sights on their pistols.

@baptistgaming916 ай бұрын
A big reason people shoot low and left is because they are using the crook in their finger to pull the trigger and not the pad. That's unfortunately for micro 9s because that's fixed with a larger backstrap for most people. I had to start running the large backstrap in my full frame glocks in order to get my finger in the right place without thinking about it. Thin grips have some real disadvantages.

If HK doesn't drop the VP9CC soon ill grab one of these until it does lol. Held one and it feels fantastic. Triggers a bit weird and I'd prefer it to be a striker gun instead of internal hammer honestly but its not a deal breaker.

Seriously! I'm dying over here just wishing HK would give us an answer if we're going to see a U.S release. I've heard back to back rumors of yes and no. Praying it does because it's pound for pound everything I'm looking for in a ccw. A truly ambidextrous micro 9mm.

Can you tell us what holster you’re using in the Reflex? Could the holster have an issue and thus was causing the extra wear?

I’ve heard the Hellcat was picky with ammo, I wonder if this is with some. One of the others was getting fed jams of I remember correctly

Somebody watches T.Rex Arms🤔 jokes aside I agree. Been looking at this gun every time I'm in the store. The color is the reason I haven't bought it yet. I'm old school Black.

I don't rotate EDC handguns and carry a Glock 23 with a 642 J-frame. When going walking and hiking I do change it up for smaller Shield 45 2.0 and the Shield 40/357sig performance center setup. I prefer a small pistol when outside on the trail for less bulk. I might try a new micro 9mm but I'm not sure it anything is an real advantage over my Shield 40/357sig?

200 rounds plus 150 rounds is not 3k rounds. 30 seconds in. My buddy owns a full size and there is a kit to replace the firing pin because it snaps in the 3-5k range. It’s an apex kit. Just saying.

You are so stupid lmao. 150 more rounds to hit 3k you idiot. So stupid lmao

I would do some research on the firing pin based on the full size and compact 509 which is a known issue before you relay on that one. Better be safe than sorry. Imo.

I had the same reflex as you and really wanted to love it. But just didn’t seem to shoot straight. And like you I have plenty of other options so I got rid of it.

I like that dirty look of the slide. Looks like it has been to Iraq or something. ;-) I don't like the texture on the front and back of the grip. I'd probably wrap it with one of those stick on grips. I don't have those leathery plumber hands like you. Keep up the good work!

What’s the difference between this and a 509 compact?
@2AGoons5 ай бұрын
The biggest practical difference is size. This gun is a fair bit smaller than a 509 compact. The Reflex is (basically) the same size as a Hellcat or a P365. The 509 compact is closer to a Glock 26.

My reflex is one of my fav guns, had to send it back to FN first day I got it tho, the mags wouldn’t seat properly without an ungodly amount of force
