James Bond should be rocking the FN REFLEX. It’s about the same size as the Walther PPK, holds more ammo, lighter, and in a more potent caliber… Much more potent than James’ .32 caliber Walther.
I’ve carried mine for about a year now, as my main Concealed Carry weapon, and I’ve shot it enough to solidify my opinion of it. It’s a Winner. The gun is reliable, accurate, not difficult to shoot, and thanks to the good sights and great trigger, not difficult to shoot well with. I’ve had no problems with it using 115 grain range ammo and 124 grain and 147 grain defensive loads. Currently loaded with 124 grain Sierra JHPs, it groups well without a hint of issue. Using a Vedder IWB hybrid type rig, it conceals extremely well. Like I said… It’s become my main CCW piece. The alternate carry gun I use is my HK VP9SK, which is also excellent, but doesn’t hide as well. And since I travel into less than permissive environments, printing would cause unwanted drama, legal or not. As winter approaches, I’ll carry it more and other larger guns for fun and variety… But everywhere else, the little Reflex is my Go-To.
Thanks for the review, Ogre. Significant advantages over Ruger LC9 Pro that you espoused some time ago? I’m guessing greater capacity is a factor. But I find the Ruger’s thinness to be sublime.
Better Sights. Better Capacity. Better Trigger… Not by a lot, but enough to make a difference to me over the Ruger.
Well Ogre, I guess I’m following you around, just the wrong way. I had decided to but a Reflex but t the store I handled an HK Vp9sk Optics ready and had to have it. But the Reflex is still on my radar screen. I want to love it, but the CC9 doesn’t excite me for some reason.
The CC9 is nice… but the VP9SK does the same job just fine, and gives you the ability to use longer VP9 magazines. My VP9SK is also optics ready and I got it about 20 minutes after my LGS got it in and put it in the books. In fact, I snagged it before they had written a tag for it. It’s on my hip at this moment. My Reflex is for when deeper concealment is required in non-permissive environments. The Reflex is great for that, the the SK is just the better all around gun.
