For fans of the classic .45 ACP cartridge, the new FN 545 MRD offers a modern, high-capacity, and feature-rich option. Built on the same frame as its 10mm sibling, this handgun provides the familiar ergonomics and tactical features FN is known for, but chambered in the venerable big-bore caliber. It’s a perfect blend of old-school stopping power and new-school technology.

💪 Big Bore, Big Capacity
The .45 ACP is a legendary round, but it has often been associated with lower-capacity, single-stack magazines. The FN 545 MRD shatters this limitation by offering an impressive 18+1 round capacity with its extended magazine, and a flush-fit 15-round magazine is also included. This gives you a significant amount of firepower in a .45 ACP platform, making it an excellent choice for duty or personal defense.
🎯 Precision and Optics Integration
Like the 510, the FN 545 MRD is designed for precision. It comes standard with FN’s Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, allowing you to easily mount your favorite micro red dot sight for enhanced accuracy. The inclusion of suppressor-height iron sights ensures you always have a reliable backup aiming solution. The 4.7-inch cold hammer-forged barrel contributes to the pistol’s inherent accuracy, making it a capable platform for any shooting scenario.
Ergonomics and Control
FN has paid close attention to the ergonomics to ensure the FN 545 is comfortable and controllable to shoot. The grip features an aggressive texture that provides a secure hold, which is essential for managing the recoil of the .45 ACP round. Ambidextrous controls, including the slide stop lever and magazine release, make the pistol accessible and easy to operate for both right- and left-handed shooters.
