FN has just announced the 309 MRD, a 9mm FN pistol that’s more accessible than ever before.
It’s well known that FN makes some great firearms, but let’s be honest, most of them are priced above what many Americans can afford. With the goal of making an excellent 9mm pistol that’s more accessible to shooters on a budget, FN has just announced the 309 MRD.
The FN 309 MRD has everything one looks for in a defensive pistol—it’s lightweight, optics-ready, easy-to-use and comes with high-capacity magazines. For flush-fit mags, the 309 holds 16 rounds, and extended mags hold 20. However, 10-round mags are available as well for ban states. It has a crisp, 5-round single-action trigger, a neutral grip angle for a natural point of aim, a rounded rear U-notch sight and a green fiber-optic front sight. As for mounting optics, it will take any red dot with a Shield RMSc or Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint.
Besides being more affordably priced, the FN 309 MRD is more accessible to shooters thanks to its slide that’s easier to rack, its magazines that are easier to load and a disassembly procedure that doesn’t require pulling the trigger.
Chris Johnson, Senior Product Manager for Pistols for FN America, said this about the new handgun:
Many gun buyers don’t see FN as an option, and we wanted to change that perception by making the brand accessible to people looking to spend $500 on a 9mm pistol … With the FN 309 MRD we now have a trustworthy, easy-to-use pistol perfect both for new gun buyers and those looking to purchase their first FN. For us, it’s not just a new product, it’s FN’s commitment to offering the everyday user peace of mind and FN performance.
