FN Reflex XL MRD ($719.00)

FN continues to push the boundaries of micro-compact pistol performance with the Reflex XL MRD — a purpose-built carry gun designed for enhanced control and faster follow-up shots. Building on the original Reflex, the XL variant brings a longer slide and grip to the table, improving shootability without compromising concealability.

The pistol features a 3.8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and a slide cut for micro red dot optics using the immensely popular Shield RMSc footprint. At just over 6.7 inches in length and weighing only 20 ounces, it remains easy to carry all day while offering a more forgiving sight radius and better recoil management. Other functional upgrades include an extended beavertail, an undercut trigger guard, and two interchangeable backstraps for a more personalized fit. A flat-faced trigger with a consistent 5-pound break and internal hammer-fired, single-action operation helps the Reflex XL punch above its weight class in both accuracy and feel.

It ships with both 15- and 18-round magazines, giving shooters a capacity edge in a micro-sized frame. Available in black or FDE, it’s a very solid option for those who want more gun without more bulk. For more information contact FN America; Tel.: (703) 288-3500; Web: www.fnamerica.com
