The FN Reflex is extremely compact, and holds 11 rounds in its flush-fit magazine, but also offers you up to 15 rounds in a slightly longer magazine that also provides you with a better grip on the gun due to the small pinky extension it features. You can get a variant that is legal in nearly every state in the US.

However, before we try to tear the FN Reflex apart, let’s take a look at what it brings to the gun counter. Furthermore, all of these options already have the full support of the aftermarket industry making them more customizable to the end user, and ensuring that people will have a healthy amount of holster options right from the get-go. My gut reaction to the release of this pistol was that it was “too little too late.” Nearly every major manufacturer and a lot of the smaller ones already have micro-compact 9mm pistols with 10+ rounds of capacity, optics-ready capability, and dust cover rails for adapting them to use with weapon-mounted lights.

FN’s newest offering, however, doesn’t have the backup of the silver screen or the video game industry this time, but what does it have to offer? I’ve had my hands on an FN Reflex for a while now and today I’ll share with you my initial thoughts on it, and where I think it falls within the highly competitive market of micro-compact 9mm pistols. While FN pistols haven’t been my favorite, there have been some notable releases like the FN Five-seveN as well as the 509 Tactical that have impressed me quite a bit with the Five-seveN being the dream gun of pretty much anyone who has watched Battle Star Galactica or played Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. Since the introduction of the SIG Sauer P365, every company has strived to match the groundbreaking and quite honestly “game-changing” features set that the P365 offered concealed carriers and shooters. I’ve had the opportunity to test out, shoot, and own pretty much every single iteration of the 9mm micro-compact category of pistols.
