FN Reflex XL MRD

FN made a significant splash in the industry when they released their popular FN Reflex micro-compact, semiautomatic pistol line. They were designed for deep concealment with maximum capacity and enduring accuracy. They were purpose-built to ensure reliability and control never come into question. Today, they expanded that line with the FN Reflex XL MRD.

FN Expands the Reflex Line – FN Reflex XL MRD

The FN Reflex XL joins the FN Reflex family, which set a new standard in the world of 9mm everyday carry when it was released in 2023. It combines best-in-class trigger feel and pull weight with reliable performance, excellent ergonomics, and accuracy. The FN Reflex XL has a 15-round standard capacity and an 18-round extended magazine. It is available in black and flat dark earth (FDE) finishes. The FN Reflex XL MRD features a slightly longer barrel, an extended grip, and compatibility with preferred red dot optics. The FN Reflex XL lets users maximize accuracy while still providing deep concealment.

“The challenge in the concealed-carry 9mm category is to create a pistol that is easy to conceal while still being accurate and comfortable for users to shoot and carry,” said Chris Johnson, Senior Product Manager for Pistols at FN America, LLC. “With the Reflex XL, FN has created the perfect blend of concealability and shootability. The standard 15-round grip helps manage recoil and makes the pistol easier to shoot while maintaining overall dimensions that make the pistol concealable at just 1.1 inches wide.”

Internal Hammer Fired Operation

One of the most notable aspects is the pistol’s internal hammer-fired operation. This yields a smooth, 5-pound trigger pull and an easy-to-rack slide. The FN Reflex XL also heightens the overall shooting experience. Features include two interchangeable grip backstraps for optimized comfort and length-of-reach adjustability, new palm swell, enhanced trigger guard undercut, and an extended beavertail. Deeply concealable at only 6.75 inches and 20 ounces, the FN Reflex XL sports a 3.8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel for long-term durability.

The FN Reflex XL has a high-visibility tritium front night sight and an all-black, U-notch rear sight. It is designed to be compatible with the most popular concealed-carry red dot optics, including all micro red dots that share the Shield RMSc or Holosun 507K footprints. The pistol’s accessory rail is compatible with accessories, including lights and lasers, and is designed to fit the Glock 43X MOS accessory rail.

Performance Trigger

“The Reflex has been overwhelmingly positive for FN. Customers appreciate the crisp trigger and compact size, which combine to make the pistol very easy to conceal and operate,” said John Ryan, Director of Product Management for FN America, LLC. “But never being satisfied, we pushed ourselves to continue the evolution of Reflex. The result is the Reflex XL, giving a perfect solution for those looking for the confidence of a concealed-carry option that is more comfortable to shoot while offering up to 18+1 capacity.”

The Reflex series is one of the most innovative and easy-to-shoot concealed-carry options available. It features a light and crisp, single-action-only (SAO) trigger, optics-ready capabilities. It also has a cold hammer-forged barrel for a lifetime of shooting. In addition, multiple parts, magazines, and accessories are compatible across the line.

The gun has multiple internal passive safeties—including firing pin block, trigger safety, and fire control safety. Together theymake the FN Reflex XL an extremely safe and reliable concealed-carry pistol.
