FN Reflex/EPS Carry at the Range - 17 Mar 26

Though it’s not green, I took the Reflex MRD with its newly mounted EPS Carry to the range yesterday. Fortunately, the dot was green, so no pinches from slide or trigger!

First target (two bullseye, top first) was pretty much zeroing at 7yds with lots of WAG adjustments to the EPS to finally get something I liked. One of these days I really need to do the math so I can make one or two adjustments instead of 6-7. I’m not 100% positive (broke my calipers) but I think front sight is off a bit - not surprising on a $500 mass produced gun. I’ll eventually get new calipers and check it and have a sight pusher so I can correct it, if necessary.

After getting zeroed, I shot back to back Tactical Dude drills, first one with Winchester 124g FMJ NATO and second one with Federal 124g HST. I even did the 15 yd 5 round slow fires one each with the whopping 3.3” barrel. It was a total of 234 rounds with all three targets and I now have a total of 334 rounds through it with zero malfunctions, so it passes my carry qualification requirements.

After I shot first Tactical Dude drill, I used the rest of my FMJ ammo to eliminate his kidneys to get down to just my JHP for the final drill. I only posted the one target for the second drill.

On a side note, I bought an IWB/AIWB kydex holster for it, set to for AIWB. It is a very short gun so doesn’t carry very well for me AIWB as the holster rides too high for me and leans out at the top. I may change it to wear IWB @ 4:30 or so and see how that goes. But I also went ahead and ordered an OWB that should work just fine as small as the gun is.

Hi,

The Tactical Dude abides, with big raggedy holes in him, his heart, his kidneys. Really nice shooting. I can't shoot for beans with anything less than a 4" barrel. Good on you! Maybe it's a mental block for me. Then again, maybe I'm just mental. I've never tried a ~3.5" barrel with an optic. It probably wouldn't help anyway. :LOL: It seems you've also begun the holster search. It might take a few tries before you find one that works. Best of luck.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
