About This Firearm
The FN Reflex MRD is a subcompact single-action 9mm built for concealed carry, and FN fires it with an internal hammer instead of a striker. It has an MSRP of $676, and that hammer gives it a 4.5 to 5.5 lb pull that weighs the same on every shot.
The slide takes micro dots on the Shield RMSc and Holosun 507k footprints. The iron sights are a three-dot set with a tritium front insert ringed in orange. A flush 11-round magazine and an extended magazine come with it, along with a pinky extension floor plate for the flush one, and the magazine release reverses. The accessory rail is a non-proprietary slimline pattern FN lists for the SureFire XSC and the Streamlight TLR-7 sub. The pistol is an inch wide. This build has no manual safety, though FN sells a manual-safety version.
If you're cross-shopping, a Springfield Armory Hellcat is now a used buy. It holds the same 11 rounds on a 3.0-inch barrel in a 6.0-inch frame, and it arrives with no optic cut. An HK CC9 is cut for a dot and 0.99 inch across, with 10 rounds and a 5.0 lb trigger, for an MSRP of $699. The Reflex sits between them on price, and neither of them is hammer fired.

Strengths & Limitations
- FN polishes the chamber and the feed ramp, which is the kind of attention usually kept for bigger pistols.
- The hammer is enclosed in the slide, so there is no exposed spur to catch on clothing on the draw.
- FN offers the pistol in black and in Flat Dark Earth, in both manual-safety and non-manual-safety builds.
- A hammer-fired action has more internal parts than a striker, so a full detail strip takes longer than on a striker micro.
- The extended magazine hangs below the grip, so carrying the extra rounds means carrying the extra length.
- The tritium front insert will dim over the years and cannot be recharged, so a night sight replacement eventually joins the running cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a version with a manual safety?
Yes. FN lists manual-safety builds with an ambidextrous lever alongside the non-manual-safety ones. Both use the same action and the same magazines.
Does the optic sit on a plate?
No. A dot on the Shield RMSc or Holosun 507k footprint goes straight onto the slide.
What barrel does it use?
A 3.3-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a target crown and a 1:10 right-hand twist.
Where is it made?
The United States.
