You appear to absolutely have fallen with a new micro 9mm FN. I'll have to order one, but have the cut out for a red dot with my FN REFLEX. I've been reading and watching videos on them, and because of you and your video, I'll order it. Thank you for helping me make up my mind.

I bought mine on gunbroker last week. Took it out over the weekend and absolutely loved it. The stippling is perfect and doesn’t move at all in your hand. The trigger is also wayyyy better compared to my 509C; much more crisp and light. I chose this over the 365 for my edc and no regrets so far!

Best fn reflex review on KZread for the layman!

The inside of the FN Reflex looks very similar to my S&W 9mm EZ. Both are hammer fired. The trigger on the EZ is nice as well.

Great review as usual !! Love FN over all quality and made in SC 👍🏻

Long, long time fan. Thanks for your continued level-headed content and also superior dad humor! I had shopped around a lot back when I first started shooting. Carried a Kahr P9 of all things for a lot of years. I have smaller hands. Single stack, felt good, shot it well both hands. Was never a Glock fan really but figured I should try a few. Shot the Glock 26. Despite my pinky hanging low, shot that fatty also very well. Got to know the G 19, 17 and appreciated the magazine interchangeability. Decided to carry the G26 and that has been for a few years now. I realize these new innovative stack-and-a-half pocket pistols with extra capacity are nice. I am sure they are great. But my interest to change has diminished with age and experience. I shoot just fine. God willing, I’m not in a gun fight where 11 round capacity with 15 or 17 round reload isn’t good enough but I get it, why not right? Help me out Hickock, please! Should I go run through all these new micro 9’s and find a reason to change?

Just bought it. Love it. Comfortable to conceal and feels great in my hands.

Big fan of the ambi trigger. It's what sold me on this pistol.

I've had 3 Reflexes (Long story) and all of them had problems. I bought it to replace my G43. I love the FN grip, I love the sights, and the trigger is pretty good from the factory. All of them had failure to feed problems. One would have a soft strike about every 3rd round. We tried 5 different types of ammo and 9 different magazines. We put about 200 rounds through each gun. All of them would shoot low left no matter who was shooting it. I put Holosun 507k red dots on 2 of them and I had the elevation up maxed out and it still wouldn't bring the POI up to POA. I put a laser bore sight cartridge in them and it would not line up with the iron sights. It showed low left on all of them. The same laser bore sight lined up perfectly in all of my other handguns. I sold 2 of them and the 3rd one has been at FN since September for repair, in hopes that I can at least have one good one. That was 3 months ago and it's still not fixed.

Went and bought an xds mod 2. Then a week later they released the hellcat.. i managed to talk myself out of it, and the 365 came out.. thankfully the issues with it helped me hold my horses... the taurus released the gx4 and i alllllmost got it. It was cheap , cool looking and gad the same capacity... then they had a recall. I managed to save my money and keep rocking with my old faithful xds... Now this is here and i dont think ill be able to hold myself.. this one is just speaking to me too hard. Thanks hickock for costing me another 5 or 600 bucks 😢😢

Love my Reflex! At 500 rounds and reliable as any Glock I’ve had! It’s not missed a beat and checked my sights on paper and but everything was in the very middle, a few in the bullseye, so my sights are great dunno why others are having so much trouble!?

Looking good Hickok 👍🏽

I noticed that you had to reset the magazine a couple of times. That usually means that the mag release is in the wrong place.

I've heard a lot of good things about the IWI Masada Slim and I'm hoping you'll do a video at some point. I know it has a bit longer grip like the Glock 43x, so maybe it doesn't qualify as a "micro 9" or pocket pistol, but it still seems like an ideal size for EDC. Good capacity, less snappy, and accurate & reliable according to a lot of reviews. Would like to hear your impressions & comparisons to other brands & models. Thank you sir! 👍
