Anyone try the FN 5.7 pistols?
I have the carbine and it is a really neat easy to shoot carbine. Let some of my spec ops buddies try it and they loved it wishing only for a shorter barrel and three round bursts. I told them there was a short barrelled select fire version available to the military. I suppose they now have a few to test. Antway I have been looking at the pistol just because I have the ammo and 20 rounds in a smallish no recoil pistol seems really cool. The grip seems a little cheap and that center bump in the trigger guard hits my finger. I have pretty large fingers, but I think I could file that bump off or heat the guard and re shape it more to my liking. So, is the pistol any good? Accurate?

Was interested in one at one time and maybe still. I've heard nothing but good things about them. Good house gun to have around. 0 -
I got both, they are both very sweet. 5-7 is very easy to shoot accurate, even I can shine with 5-7.[:D] 0 -
A friend of mine bought one of those. We took it out for the inaugural run and I must say I want one. It's an awesome little gun.
I've not shot very many polymer-framed guns, but this is the only one I've liked. Spendy to shoot, but I still want one.0 -
Got one. Like it. Been saving brass and will start reloading sometime soon.
Would not feel lacking if I were to have to use it for serious business.
Drives that little bullet through a 6 X 6 pressure treated beam.
As far as accuracy is concerned, got a couple of pistols that are more accurate and have a few that aren't.
Look at some other forums, a few have been encountered and used in Iraq. Folks posting their experiences and observations.0 -
I bought the 1st one I could find.... saw it in shooting times must hve been two years ago and went seaching at the next show... back then ammo so expensive and hard to find ....pretty common now though!!! 0 -
I bought one 2 weeks ago - I really like it

Well, the one at the shop has been there a while with no takers. The owner said he would let me have it for $700. The ammo isn't too expensive if you buy it by the case, but there seems to be a few different rounds. Two for the carbine and another load for the pistol. 0 -

Did the dude have pointy ears? Don0 -
I don't have pointy ears and I've never tried one either. I don't know that I ever saw one before either. I need a serious education and then I need a serious brain to hold all the information in. 0 -

I hired an unimportant little man to remember all of my important information so I can continue killing off brain cells at an alarming rate. 0 -

No, there are only 2 civilian rounds made at the current time. 195 - a hollow point round. But, it doesn't expand - it basically flips upon entry.
And, 197 - a VMax round which I prefer for self defense because of its expansion.
The slower VMax round - 196 was discontinued, as was another older civilian round. So, just 2 rounds now - and U can use either in the carbine and the rifle (I have both).0 -
