FNH FN Five Seven

[JohnC]

Just picked it up today. :up:

 

FNH FN Five Seven and 100rds of ammo:

 

 

 

I understand this gun gets a ton of hate and starts pissing matches all over the web. Don't care. You either like it or not. I happen to like it. :cool:

Congrats! I bought one many years ago. Still one of my favorites in my collection. Ammo can be a bit tricky to find, but it's available. I don't shoot mine as much for that reason. Buy I will never part with Five Seven.

Now you just need a matching PS90 and have 2 cool guns that share the same ammo.

Who wants a gun that doesn't cause a stir! Congrats.

i've wanted a Five seveN for a while now, if ammo was easier to find I could justify the purchase

Ammo is a PITA to find. Never see it in stock locally or online and when it does show up, it is always $1 a round. Way over priced for such a small round. Can't wait until prices come back down.

Ammo is my only reason for not buying one...I decided a while ago that it was in my best interests to only have firearms that use easy (relatively anyway) to find ammo,

 

I do have a couple of odd-balls but even then not totally "odd" :)

 

The 57 is a great handgun and of course, has FNH's quailty behind it which I've come to appreciate more and more.

 

Congratulations!!!

[JohnC]

Thanks, Robert!

I hope to get a range report asap.

One thing I can say about it for now is, it is light weight, feels good in my hands and has one of the best trigger pulls I've felt on a semi-auto pistol. I think all that coupled with low recoil should make it an accurate pistol!

I shot one good long while ago now, I was impressed with it.

 

FN doesn't make ammo now do they, that just rebranded from other maker to go with new guns?

I don't know much about the ammo except that the 40gr blue tip bullets are made by Hornady. I'll try to find out later for you though. :up:

Thought it might say on box who actually made it.

Ha! I didn't notice it because it was on the bottom of the box.

Loaded in the USA by Fiocchi, USA.

5.7x28mm



5.7x28 next to a 5.56

Just a little smaller around and a bit more short than a 5.56. Edited May 2, 2013 by JohnC

I see the ammo in your pic now, I thought is was the tula ammo on the desk...

Yeah, scooped the crap steel case ammo to plink and break in the Sig 716. :)

So folks can get an idea of the size of this round...

 

9mm 135gr Hydra Shock JHP, FNH 40gr 5.7x28, Federal Lake City M855 62gr 5.56x45

 

 

[Johnny Rotten]

All you need now is a 50BMG pistol

[Wheelgunner]

Nice score!  It's good you got one now - I've heard that FN has begun restricting sales of the new Five Sevens to military and police.  If that's true then your new gun will only appreciate in value.

[JohnC]

I've not heard that, but I'll look in to it. If that is the case, maybe I shouldn't even fire it. lol

[JohnC]

Got a Blackhawk Serpa Holster for it today.

I've always wanted one since I saw Cuba Gooding JR with one in the movie "Hit List".

Nice.  I bought mine several years ago.  It is one gun that I doubt I will get rid of.  It is big, but it is so light that I sometimes forget I am carrying it.
