The FN 545 is a polymer frame striker-fired semi-automatic pistol manufactured by FN America, a division of FN Herstal.

History

The 545 was released in 2023 alongside the FN 510, which is chambered in 10mm Auto.[2]

Design

Main article: FN 509

Based on the FN 509, the FN 545 is a striker-fired handgun with a stainless steel slide with ferritic nitrocarburizing finish and a polymer frame.

Black and flat dark earth (FDE) colorings are available.

The FN 545's barrel length is 4.1 inches (100 mm) for the Standard Full Size (MRD) model & 4.71 inches (120 mm) for the Tactical model. The backstrap of the grip accepts interchangeable inserts; one arched and one flat.

The slide has serrations on both front and back, for easy slide manipulation.

Operation

The FN 545 features single-action operation with magazine releases and slide locks present on both sides of the gun, plus a Picatinny rail located forward of the trigger guard.

Instead of a manual safety, the 545 includes an integrated trigger safety (the articulated trigger type like the FN FNS) as part of its four passive safety systems: a striker block, a drop safety, a trigger disconnect and a trigger safety lever.[3]

Magazines

The FN 545 comes with both an 18-round and 15-round magazines; 10-round magazines are available for states with a high-capacity magazine ban.

Ammunition

The FN 545 is chambered in 45 ACP.

Variants

Several variants of the FN 545 have been made available:[4]

Tactical

4.71-inch (120 mm) barrel length, 15- and 18-round magazines, available in black or FDE, threaded barrel, raised sights (to accommodate a suppressor), with low-profile optics mounting system (for a red dot sight).

Standard (MRD)

4.1-inch (100 mm) barrel length, 15-round magazines, available in black or FDE, with low-profile optics mounting system.
