I could use a holster. Just picked up my Reflex a month ago, excited to start carrying it!
It fits nicely into a g43x holster
Thanks for the update! Do they have a metal replacement guide rod available? Curious?
Not from FN but I’m sure 3 party’s will.
I think mine was a one off. T-Rex arms has a video with the reflex putting down tons of rounds and it held up.
I think most glocks have polymer guide rods so polymer isn’t the issue I done think.
Ill take the holster. Looking to get a reflex next.
Yeah I was gonna say I’m probably late but I legit just bought my reflex and looking for a holster
Shit I need a holster but I'm having a loading problem should I send it in or sand it down myself
The gun won’t load? For sure send it in, their customer service is great. Call though, they duck at emails.
I like the FDE color but many show and say the slide FDE doesn't last. It wears quick. Not good...
Ya, the black seems to be holding up for now…
Was looking to purchase the wife a reflex for her ccw. She loves shooting my 502 so she wanted to stick with FN.
I am a huge FN fan, I hope it’s just a one off but ya, that’s what happened to mine.
Mine is an early release so maybes it’s been addressed? The sizes is great for CCW, front sight is great and easy to pick up.
🤞I have not had a failure, but I dislike the polymer guide rod. I do expect that will be one of the first after market parts available besides sight options. I watch mine like a hawk for any stress cracks and I have a brand new spare when they happen. I have a lot more rounds through mine than that, so I would have to say this is likely a manufacturing defect, but I am not an expert.
My Ruger SR9c had a polymer guide rod and I replaced it with a stainless one as well. I have contacted a few of the smaller after market machine shops, they seem to be the quickest to come up with a solution.👍 Nothing yet though...
I’m sure it’s just a one off, I’ve never had an issue with other FNs. Mine is a pretty early build so it might just be a one off.
Just got back from the range. Mine shoots great 👍 as dead center as a small pistol can get
I’ve, heck ya, ya mine was perfect for the first 200 rounds
@@lb.sfirearms I'll be counting , I'm at around 120 now
@lb.sfirearms they go well with a FNX-460 rowland 😉
@@mobilegamersunite I was thinking about building one, how do you like it?
@lb.sfirearms it's my favorite pistol. 😍 I built mine from a pawnshop find, since I was getting a new barrel and all. I had to work out a feeding issue when I put it all together (had to polish the breach face a bit) she has been true ever since. Underwood ammo works the best for 460. They make a nicer, thicker bullet case.
Good video
Why thank you
Great holster for the FN REFLEX MRD IS A BLACK POINT TACTICAL WING IWB HOLSTER. You can wear your reflex all week long. Great red dot HOLOSUN 507K. BLACK POINT TACTICAL Also makes great IWB MAG HOLDERS.
Nice, my homemade ones do pretty well too.
My guide rod broke too, I hadn't even shot it yet. Just sent it to FN
Broke with no shots? Wow, that’s wild.
@@lb.sfirearms definitely wild. Now I’m nervous to carry it when I do get it back lol I’m thinking about getting a Glock or something with proven reliability to carry instead
@@Lifewithdes222 the 509 have been ok for me, I plan on doing a video on what guns have gone back for what. I just picked up
My first Glock so we will see
I just took mine out to shoot today. Bought it Friday can’t even get the slide back far enough to rack a round. Something’s catching… 😢
Really? Man that sucks. Have you tried taking it apart?
@@lb.sfirearms Yeah I had to fight to get it far enough back to lock the slide but I eventually got it. It’s still sticking after I lubed it up and put the slide back on.
@@lb.sfirearms shoulda got a hell cat. 😂 I just loved my other FN’s so I thought I could trust it.
@@lb.sfirearms also idk if I noticed this or not with the display one but my trigger grinds. Even when it’s not cocked.
@@SmallVictories9 man, that’s rough. I say call FN (they don’t answer emails very fast)
I've heard you shouldn't dry fire it. Has something to do with the hammer trigger. You can look it up if you want.
Interesting, I’ll look into to it.
"Occasionally dry firing your FN Reflex is Acceptable. Regularly dry firing your FN Reflex pistol for practice or training may result in damage to the firing pin. Snap Caps (inert chamber inserts that allow a firearm to be dry fires without damaging the firing pin) are commercially available for those who wish to practice firing without live ammunition"
@@Zamn-NWYes, sounds good..
glad to see fn is back, ah man that stinks the person never got back to you regarding the holster. maybe redo the giveaway
Ya maybe, it wasn’t very popular the first time so ya. I’m working on a Daniel H9 holster giveaway so I might just give this one away now.
Have you seen the new cc edge xl?
I have yes, I made one - czcams.com/video/1Vr3GB9kDqA/video.htmlsi=dOhTSCOrhrd0RDtN
I have yes, I have one, I cannot post links but it’s a recent video of mine.
Copy
@@billtaylor1656 I have a range session with it too…. I’ll let you in on a secret, if you have a CC and an LS, you can make your own 😉
@@lb.sfirearms I saw the video.
Yo! I want a holster! 🎉
Why do you want one?
@lb.sfirearms because I have a Reflex that works great to carry
@@mobilegamersunite DM me on truth or twitter see what we can work out.
I have a BLACK FN REFLEX MRD WITH AN HOLOSUN 507K AND BLACK POINT TACTICAL WING IWB HOLSTER it's my EDC. NO PROBLEMS WITH MORE THAN 5000 ROUNDS.TIGHT GROUPS.
5000 rounds already? Wow. Ya my guide is broke after 200 rounds…
The ecehelon has a plastic rod
Ya see that’s interesting, no idea why mine failed…
So does Glock CZ Springfield smith and many other brands
@@bobyjones3905 yup, learned that the more I looked into it, no idea why mine failed then.
I need a good holster every one i’ve bought is junk man
lol well that’s a tough feet, mine is made with .09 kydex so thicker than some but ya…. Who knows what it will do, none of mine have let me down yet…
It’s fits into a g43x holster pretty nice
@@dave_1958 that’s good to know.
Mine made it 3 days and 26 rounds. Less than impressed.
