Description

The FN 545 MRD Competition delivers match-grade accuracy in a striker-fired platform engineered for competitive shooting and tactical applications. This .45 ACP pistol combines FN's proven reliability with competition-ready features that set it apart from standard duty pistols.

What Makes This Different

The MRD (Mini Red Dot) system features a factory-milled slide with multiple optic mounting patterns, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. The competition trigger system provides a crisp break at approximately 4.5 pounds with minimal overtravel and reset. Unlike standard striker-fired pistols, the 545 MRD incorporates enhanced ergonomics with an ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine release for left-handed shooters.

Key Features

Factory-milled slide accepts popular red dot optics without adapter plates
Competition-tuned trigger with enhanced reset and break characteristics
Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish on frame and slide for corrosion resistance
Two 15-round magazines with witness holes and extended baseplates
Ambidextrous controls including slide release and magazine release
Low-profile suppressor-height sights co-witness with mounted optics
Textured grip panels with aggressive stippling for secure handling

The 545 MRD excels in USPSA Production Division competition where its .45 ACP chambering provides major power factor scoring advantages. The enhanced trigger system reduces split times between shots while maintaining the safety characteristics required for duty use. Weather-sealed construction and corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable function in adverse conditions from humid coastal environments to arid desert climates.
