Description

The FN Five-seveN MRD delivers the proven 5.7x28mm cartridge in a modern optic-ready platform designed for tactical applications and competitive shooting. This full-size pistol combines FN's legendary reliability with contemporary features like a factory-machined optic mount and ambidextrous controls.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard striker-fired pistols, the Five-seveN MRD operates on a delayed blowback system that reduces felt recoil while maintaining exceptional accuracy. The 5.7x28mm cartridge penetrates soft body armor while producing minimal muzzle flash and blast. Factory optic cuts accommodate popular red dot sights without requiring aftermarket modifications, and the lightweight polymer construction keeps the loaded weight under 2 pounds.

Key Features

Factory optic-ready slide machined for direct red dot mounting
High-capacity 20-round magazine with proven reliability
4.8-inch cold hammer-forged steel barrel for consistent accuracy
Ambidextrous magazine release and safety lever operation
MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail for tactical light attachment
Textured polymer grip panels provide secure handling
Serrated steel slide with enhanced grip surfaces

The delayed blowback action cycles smoothly with both SS195LF and SS197SR ammunition, maintaining consistent point of impact across different loads. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the armor-penetrating capability for barrier penetration scenarios, while competitive shooters benefit from the flat trajectory and reduced recoil impulse. The corrosion-resistant finish withstands extended exposure to moisture and cleaning solvents.
