After 45 years of carpentry in Northern New England sometimes I struggle to get the cap off the milk jug. They ain't girly they are worn out.

I've carried a FNP-9 for years, FN makes quality firearms. Zero complaints.

"I am more accurate than the gun!" That's a line that had me chuckling.

This is probably the 5th or 6th review I've watched on the reflex and clearly the best one so far. Thank you

I really enjoy these pistol reviews and appreciate the emphasis on what most people realistically are going to carry

I would never question or underestimate the marksmanship of a former Navy Seal. We know you can shoot very well Chadd!!!

Chad, keeping doing what you do. Taught me how to eat steak, stay humble, be fit and be a great civilian. I look up to you man!

Bought a reflex for my daughter. She is petite in size with quite small hands. We shoot a lot on our private range in Texas. She is an avid hunter & shoots full size pistols of varying calibers. The reflex seemed like a good choice for cc. The trigger is a short length of pull & fit her hands well. Trigger is quite nice, better than my upgraded p365. We now have the reflex up for sale due to fail to feed from “limp wristing” This gun has a lot of snap & was impossible for my daughter to cycle a complete mag. Put the p365xl in her hand & it cycled flawless. I am not trying to discount FN nor promote Sig. Just saying buyer beware as I don’t see this reflex as a good weak handed firearm. Good luck!

the terror in his eyes after missing with the hellcat was gold.

😂 I don't think I've laughed so hard at a gun review before. You definitely make me feel like I'm right at home

That cackle after the 70 yards shot 🤣😂

Chadd can you puhleeeeeease do a video about the demon on your mission that made you find Jesus. I need to hear it man. Need to know how a navy seal can be scared at all let alone so bad you become religious. Please man a detailed detailed video about exactly what the thing did (without divulging info you cannot). Please man love you dude you are an awesome teacher

Maglula loaders are the ticket for a good day reloading magazines. Peace and thanks for the evaluations.

Chadd, dude you always make my day with your videos. I sit and laugh at your ass thru the whole thing! You have a great sense of humor my man!!!! Thank YOU!

With antics like this, I may need to buy a tech guy shirt. Pray unceasingly, Patriots.

I bought this 3 months ago and had the same issues: round stuck and hitting targets to the left. You answered my questions, it needs lube and hold with a slight cant. Thanks brother. God bless you from Knoxville Tennessee 😀

It’s a great gun, takes practice to get used to but I’ve found it very accurate and reliable

Glad for the review, thank you. Yes, I had to switch from a slide pistol to a revolver, the slide was too hard for me...but I have some neurological damage in these old hands! Almost 70 years, these hands have worked. God bless you. Lol, I was for sure it was the gun, not your aim...but for close defense, easy to carry with the 1 shot, would it still be a good defense for an old lady??

Thank you for being honest with this shoot. You could have easily edited out your misses, but you did not. Honor above all else! I still dont wear jeans.

I’ve gone down this rabbit hole. I’ve had just about every micro out there and compacts. I’ve settled on the Glock model 30SF. Fits me like a glove, very concealable and doubles as a woods gun loaded with 255grn heavy Hardcast loads. 45acp rocks.

That was some nice shootin,👍 I can't reliably hit with anything past 25 yards anymore, getting old sucks.🤷‍♂️ And you are correct, it does show up dry as a bone.

Love your banter, sounds like my Brother or my friends and myself talking crap. Thanks for the uploads, and the Truck Talks.

If you like that trigger, grab a Walther PDP 4”. Would love that review. Have a great weekend, Chadd, Chili, Blake and Tech Guy.

Thanks for the video Chadd and Tech Guy. Another one that you might want to review is the Canik Mete MC9. Excellent trigger as well (striker instead of hammer).

The point of the smaller mags is printing. I personally have the Hellcat, but thinking about also getting the Reflex because I'm an FN fanboy. Depending on how you carry, the 15 rnd mags print way more. The pinky extensions don't make a huge difference, because it's the back side of the grip that prints. In my Hellcat, I carry with the 11 rnd with pinky extension, and 15 round spare

refreshing , to see a pro such as chad , have an issue with a pistol. I like the honesty . peace . be safe lad . ~ JDS/CT

Love the video and the practicality. You bring real world into shooting that more of the everyday person can relate to. Don’t know if the reflex is for me, I’ll try it out first at the range. Still edc my Glock 19x, all stock and after 16k rounds, without issues, I know I can trust her. Stay safe and keep the videos coming. I’m def checking out barbell apparel. Sounds like a solid gig to me. Thanks again

This is why I follow you, as real as it gets.

I think the MagTechs pointed tip is what causes malfunctions. I've never had a problem with any malfunctions until I started using Magtech ammo. I think the guides dont like it on a lot of pistols.

I bought two, both had consistent jamming problems and failures to feed. Loved it when it ran, but the the failures were too frequent. Not gonna risk my life on this gun. Sold it. That said, I do love FN.

Chad your video’s are the best on KZfaq. You are a good man to look up to and a positive role model. Thank you Sir. 🇺🇸

Have the FN Reflex. LOVE IT!! Trigger is awesome. Conceal carry, you hardly know your wearing it.

You sure are ornery today son! Lol Folks, don't worry about the price, go get you some barbell jeans and shirts plus hoodies. Chadd is not lying on the comfort level with these jeans. In fact, shirts, shorts and hoodies are awesome 👌 plus you help the channel with sales. Select Chadd on your order form so he can get credit for your purchases. Have a great day all!

I work out weekly and my hand issue is from tumors that eat my tendons and so far I have had no issue but I can see the benefit to this since my mom had to get a new pistol because she has the same issue and couldnt chamber he last pistol. Plus in a time of distress it could be help get bullets on target faster maybe. Love the channel and a fellow GA boy. To wear that quick is a no go lol

Excellent review Chad, and fun to watch🤣 and I agree with your trigger, slide operation and accuracy assesment. I purchased the MRD version of the Reflex 2 months ago and have put about 600 rds through it. I experienced a few failures to fully chamber the round during the first 50 or so as you did, but I believe it's just a 'wear in' issue. It's run great for the last 500 and I carry it daily. This is my first optic ready pistol and I'm quite a bit slower aquiring the optic vs the sights on my first shot. Got and pointers? (besides practice, practice, practice...)

I've had 3 Reflexes (Long story) and all of them had problems. I bought them to replace my G43s. I love the Reflex grip, I love the sights, I love the size, 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 - Federal, Winchester, Remington and Blazer in both 115 and 124 grain. I had already bought extra magazines, so we had 9 different magazines to try. We put about 300 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 I sent the 3rd one to FN, in hopes that I could at least have one good one. After about 3 months, I got the Reflex back from FN with literally nothing in the box explaining what was wrong nor what they repaired. No shot group target like I've seen other people get back with their Reflex from FN. Nothing at all. The gun had the exact same problems as before I sent it to FN for repair. They fixed nothing. Having owned and shot other FN guns, I was extremely disappointed, not only with the Reflex, but with the customer service at FN. I've watched a lot of videos from people having the same problems with the Reflex and FN is sending all of their guns back with a 3 shot group target and a statement saying there's nothing wrong with their gun. I think the first batch of Reflexes were a good run and those were sent to influencers for review. The following batches have serious quality control issues and FN has taken a stance of zero accountability. We sold the last Reflex about a week ago.

Congressman Wright, When you are elected President. How will you use the government to help keep the media honest? Will you add things to the U.S. Constitution which is needed?

Love the humor. Blake's added commentary made me laugh. By the way, that is not the finish that has a problem. It is just dirt coming off on the finish. The slide is VPN treated on the FDE models. That means it is bonded at the atomic level. It should not wear after any amount of use, so they say. Also, I can't think of any other handgun review where a 70 yard first strike was made, and from a subcompact. Bravo.

"I'm more accurate than the gun". I'm stealing that...

That thing looks very snappy when you shoot it.

When the Reflex first came out I REALLY wanted the FDE MRD model but they were always out of stock. Then I started hearing everyone say that the FDE finish was terrible. By the time they were back in stock I bought the Reflex MRD in black and the finish is really nice. Apparently the bad finish is only on the FDE version

Thanx for honest opinions and not trying to sell to viewers with reviews.

I quit carrying my g19 over a year ago and went with a sig X macro, it smaller, lighter, reliable and very accurate with 17+1 rounds and a holosun. Very hard to beat it

I'm not a large man at only 6'1, but I have large hands. I've tried 43, 43x, 365 etc. The 19 slim(48), with shield arms mags, has the smallest grip I seem to be ok with. Not a fan of pinky extensions or mag extensions to fill a grip. I'll keep looking, but the 19 sized guns are the best trade offs currently.

I have a Sig P365 X Macro w/TLR light. Werkz makes a nice “M6” IWB holster that fits it well. I was pleased to find out when I put the light on my new Reflex, it also fits that same holster. Always enjoy you guys’ straight-forward (and entertaining) content.

Had a few light strikes with mine and accuracy issues but I changed the sights and that solved that

Mine also stovepiped until I did a proper 200rd break in with a heavy load. Now it runs flawlessly. It gets better the more I use it

Weaker hands can also come at 72 years old with severe nerve damage in both hands so I do have to have something easier to rack. Don't forget us old disabled guys who still plan to protect themselves and family. Haha.

Japan dog : Shiba Inu Israel dog : America.

Great video Chadd glad to see you shooting like me in SC lol we all have bad days you are as close to normal as me

First video I’ve ever watched of yours and hitting a small target like that at 70 yards is crazy to me I love it🔥🔥

The failure to feed issue is caused from the extractor being too tight. If you send it back to FN, they will replace it. Shooting low left is usually user error, however there are so many owners reporting this that it makes me wonder what’s really going on. I’ve never heard of someone having to cant the weapon in order to hit the target.

You made me interested in this gun now. I disliked my old FN 509c so much because of the trigger and having mag bite that I figured the Reflex would be the same. But noe I think I'll add it into consideration for my next new carry pistol

Taurus G3 and G3c...youll be floored...

Loved the review! New sub and I don't know how I haven't found your videos until now. Looking forward to your other videos!

I’ve got both the mrd & non. Both don’t miss for me inside 50 yards. No issues. LOVE the trigger & there’s a definite break in period of nearly 300 rounds. I’m a hammer fired snob.

You had me yelling “Nooo how the heck did he hit at 40, then 50, then 60, then 70 yards”!!!!!!! Unbelievable really! I just purchased one for my wife and haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet! You’ve got me super excited. After holding it, I may get one for myself! Can’t beat FN!

I will be considering this FN as my Newer addiction for the Addition to my Firearm Family here at the Gunn Dog Inn Cross Hill SC..Thank you Chad Karl Gunn a independent Amsoil dealer .

Keeping the reviews honest. good stuff.

Hahaha I ain’t gonna paint that damn silhouette! Screw you man! I’m so weak. This is the best TV you’re gonna get right now I love this channel!

Nice video Chadd love this series. Carry pistol selection is very important.

my carry sig 365 reg with xmacro barrel, Glock 43x with PSA dagger lower , Kershaw bel air BM 940 Microtech mini, CRKT Cleaver girl, what you got boys EDC 👍🏻

Another I'm just going to have to get. Your case in the back of your truck looks big enough to carry many toys. Excellent review.

Love the content. I'd love to see how you have that Husky toolbox organized.

Lol i love this guy. Came to see your review on this gun, my mom needs an easier gun to rack. I told her to get out there and P.T. as well.

I opened this video thinking," here we go, another KZfaq cook." Then I became interested as well as entertained. Then I went to your channel. Then I learned who and what you are. Then I subscribed to your channel.

“You better shut your mouth boy” 😂😂

I’m glad his channel took off. Based on reality and so much quality info extending past guns and gear.

Because of your review of the Helcat, I ended up getting one.. everyone else that tries it, first thing they notice is the sites, then the recoil, the down side. But I love how it feels in my 'baby/female" hands..lol

I think the extra long reset is because they were worried about bump fire with the lighter trigger.

Never found Magtech ball 9mm to be very accurate, in anything. It'll suck less in some guns, than others, but I wouldn't try to set a guns accuracy limits with it. I'm sure you can shoot. Thanks for your service, and the entertaining shooting vid. Best wishes, from Texas. :)

I get all the rounds in all the mags. Springfield Hellcat RDP 11+1, 13+1, 15+1 ,17+1 ,19+1 with upgraded springs in the big mags. Fn 509 LS EDGE 24+1 and 17 +1.

I have an FNX .45. FN's are beautiful! Thanks Chadd ! Peace

I like it. The only slim carry gun besides the 43x that I actually will use . Ergonomics, are good capacity ,is decent serration are good , style

Love your channel. Subscribed. I was born and raised in Rome Ga. Now down in FL, East Coast. If you ever need a place to stay and train we got ya. We are a family of Christ followers. Appreciate your ministry/testimony. God Bless!!

What a hoot! 10 paces, 11 paces, 12 paces, you're probably WAY further than you think you are. You mix serious with hilarious in equal parts but still deliver useful info while making fun of your viewers. Also thanks for not having a 2 minute rock&roll intro with lightning bolts, not going on too much about sponsors or patreon, and keeping it real.

had the same up and down issue with the grip, to me much more comfortable with a slight cant to the left

I carry a Sig P365 with the 17 round macro mags which gives it a full grip which i like. It has a decent trigger, comes with Sig night sights which are good sights. Its been a pretty reliable and accurate lil pistol for a compaq. But my full suze go to pistol is my Canik TP9 Elite combat. Comes with a fluted threaded barrel, aluminum flat faced trigger which is a amazing trigger with a super short reset. Then next my gen 2 glock 22 . She runs like a champ. Amazingly reliable pistol

Miss, miss , miss...the Lord had a way of teaching us humility.

Excellent demo! Blake could hit at 30 yards! I believe it is the pistol! The cold weather affects the ammo! Damn good shooting after warmed up!

The Remington RM380 (Rorbaugh copy) is the best pocket gun I've ever owned. I've had about 10 or 12 different pocket 380s. Second best I've owned is the Ruger LCP max.

I carry full-size guns, period. 509T, 510T, FNX45T, P220 Legion SAO 10mm. The finish on all of them is worn, as they should be. My wife runs a P365XL, which I like better than the Hellcat Pro myself, but not sure I could ever carry a micro-compact as my hands are just too dang large for those little guns man. To each their own but I just modify my carry methods so I can have the gun I’m comfortable with on me at all times. I love FN, HK, Beretta, Sig, and a half dozen other manufacturers far better than Glock. I understand that you like Glocks to a fault, I just don’t understand why. I’ve tried, I promise. I appreciate most of your content regardless dude. Keep it up.

Got some quality laughs in today.😂you just needed to warm up brother. 😂👍

My oldest boy and I were looking for new CCWs at the gun show a few weeks ago. There were three pistols I wanted to check out and the Reflex was one of them. I found one and loved it, but there was another one that I liked as well that wasn't even on my radar..... The IWI Masada Slim. My boy bought the Reflex and I bought the Masada 9S. I am ready to shoot the Reflex and see if I "need" one of those as well. Haha

Just went shooting and practicing today. Love the new Glock 21 Gen5 I bought. On target with every shot. My edc is my Glock 43x and I rotate my Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. 😊

Can you do a video about your land cruiser?

Def. best channel I follow.

I think FNs sight philosophy is not in line with the US. This is not the only gun in their 509 series that has problems with getting on target. It gets fixed quickly when you add a red dot, though. Many reviewers report a 3-4 in drop with the sights. Maybe there's something to this. I hope FNH respond by fixing the problem because they make awesome guns. Thanks for the video.

Would love to see you shoot a Canik, either the TP9 Elite SC or the METE MC9. The triggers are unreal.

Chadd, since you like that Hellcat Pro, TRY THIS: I took a XDm back strap, sanded down, filled and JB welded that biatch on. I used the thinnest of the three, full length grip. Masked everything off. Used zip ties to hold tight til cured. Made sure it's where I want it. Matching the bottom ledge. It's permanent. Experiment first by temporary means. Making that grip flat backed was mistake, IMO. This provides needed swell that puts pressure on my grip side palm that was lacking. Now I don't have to grip it to death, and it points better. Also, the trigger. Harsh after a few hundred for me. First one I've bothered replacing. MCarbo full chooch striker option. Relatively high. But NOW it's the perfect carry I wanted it to be.

Always fun. Very enjoyable video.

love this pistol drill …I’ve been a P365XL man for quite a while, and honestly I am looking hard at other ccw’s after these videos. Good stuff

Lets all send rolls of red contact paper to chad so he doesnt have to spray paint his target 🤣❣️

I gave the video a thumbs up for the beard alone.

That comment "won't ever be Swole as me"! Well he ain't lyin" yall! That head is at hot air balloon swole levels! 🤣🤣. All joking aside, thanks for the time, the reviews, and most of all keeping us turds 😄 accountable in our physical, mental and SPIRITUAL training. 💪

I stick with the 26,19, & 17 Glock. Dependable interchangeable magazines and parts. The Reflex looks real nice, but that SA hammer just seems dangerous..

I'm kidding man I love the show! Bought me a 3 of 7 project shirt! My wife wants a tank top and didn't see any

Would be interesting to see a video on the IWI galil 7.69 x39 and the Masada
