This Might Be The Best FN Handgun | Reflex XL
About this video
Colion reviews the FN Reflex XL handgun, which he argues may be FN’s best handgun to date. He breaks down the gun’s unique mid-size/compact dimensions, its internal hammer-fired single-action trigger, and why he believes its size and natural point of aim make it particularly well-suited for concealed carry. Colion cautions that while his initial impressions are highly positive, he needs more range time to fully evaluate its reliability before adding it to his carry rotation.
Key takeaways
- Colion describes the FN Reflex XL as sitting in a ‘perfect’ size category for concealed carry—the silhouette of a mid-size gun with the thinness of a micro-compact, offering 15+1 capacity flush-fit and an 18-round extended magazine
- According to Colion, the gun’s internal hammer-fired single-action trigger is exceptionally smooth, light, and short compared to typical hammer-fired triggers, enabling fast and rhythmic shooting
- Colion emphasizes that the gun has an excellent natural point of aim for him, making it highly effective for instinctive shooting without relying on sights in a self-defense scenario
- Colion notes his only significant complaint is the RMSC optics footprint, as he personally prefers larger red dot options over micro red dots
