FN 545 MRD

The FN 545 MRD is chambered in .45 ACP and feeds from a double-stack, single-feed magazine with a standard capacity of 15 rounds.  Magazines limited to 10 rounds are available for users in states with capacity restrictions thanks to this pistol having complete magazine compatibility with the full-size FN 545.

The FN 545 MRD has fully-ambidextrous controls that include a magazine release that can be engaged from either side without having to flip parts around, a slide release, and an optional thumb safety.  The slide has grip serrations that flank both the front and rear sights that offer plenty of grip when you need to manually cycle the action.  The backstrap along the grip is easily replaced with different size panels allowing the user to tailor the grip to their hand, and the texturing on the grip is a significant improvement over the FNS and FNX pistols.  The front and back side texturing has a shingled square pattern while the sides have flattened pyramids topped with a rippled thumb rest section.

Measuring 7.7 inches long, 6.5 inches tall and 1.45 inches wide, concealing this pistol is effectively a no-go.  No matter how baggy, long or floofy your clothing is, the grip is almost guaranteed to push the fabric away from you to let everyone know you’re packing heat.  This pistol is most easily rocked in an open-carry setup such as an overpriced Safariland tactical belt or a government-purchased duty belt.  The chunky magazine extension will absolutely keep you from effectively concealing this puppy.
