FN has a new entry into the 9mm micro-compact pistol category: the Reflex and Reflex MRD. The pistols come with an 11-round flush fit w/pinky extension magazine and a 15-round extended magazine, and the MRD is cut for RMS-C/Holosun-K optics. If threats are hiding in the dark, the dustcover is cut for micro pistol lights such as the Streetlight TLR-7 and Surefire XSC as well. MSRP is $599 for the FN Reflex and $659 for the FN Reflex MRD.

Like many FN pistols, the Reflex comes in both FDE and Black, with normal capacity and low capacity SKUs for each color as well. No word yet on if the Reflex is the first of other Duran-Duran-inspired FN pistols yet to come, however.

    Wow. It does absolutely nothing better, or even different, than the current competition. I know it's FN so I didn't expect much else, but still.

      @DeadeyeDan It supposedly has an internal SAO hammer so . . . . . there's that.

    I haven't seen anything yet about the safeties on the Reflex. There does not appear to be an external thumb safety. So what gives?
