FNH Five-seveN 5.7 X 28 pistol

Okay, unlike some of my 1911-fixated brethern, I really like the FNH Five-seveN pistol. Yes, it is BUTT-UGLY and appears to be DESIGNED BY ALIENS. Yes, a single-action gun with the saftey mounted forward of the trigger guard and designed is be knocked off with the trigger finger would make John Browning ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE. Yes, the ammo is DREADFULLY EXPENSIVE.

Let's balance that against the gun's good points:
• It's light (20 ounces or so fully loaded)
• It hold a lot of bullets (flush mount 20-round mags)
• It has the recoil of a .22 Magnum
• The round has been devastating in real world shootings (I've seen the reports, kids!)
• It points fiercely well
• It's a perfect match for the new civilian P90 carbine
I could probably teach my beagle to shoot this gun well
I think this is probably the best "bedroom gun" ever made. Fit a Streamlight M-6 illuminator/laser, and this gun is just about perfect...

More later, when I figure out what's wrong with Blogger!

Google for civilian p90, it's going to be released this year with a longer barrel. Alot of dealers are taking preorders.

I'm serously considering buying one, but not shure what the ammo situation is. I think I might buy the ammo first just in case it's gone before I pony up for the pistol.

Quick question, you know any FNH dealers in CO?

I love my 5.7 and have shot almost 1000 rounds through it without 1 single problem! Other then the ammo is way over priced. I've had no problems getting ammo in Alaska. I usually purchase 3 extra boxes when ever it comes time. I do rotate it with another Pistol for CCW.

IF ANYBODY HAS HEARD OF ANY NIGHT SITES AVAILABLE FOR THIS PISTOL, PLEASE FIND MY BLOG about CCW and GUN Safety. It should be up in the next few days, Thanks

I was hoping that they wold have a conversion for a .22 magnum. Same ballistics at a fourth of the cost. This gun was designed for the AP round, just doesn't do justice with the civilian available round.

Single action, double action, can anyone tell me how this relates to the FIVE-seveN?

So, I don't actually suppose this may have success.
