Those don't look like pistol rounds...?

How do you like it for shooting?

Looks like an FN five seven. I just didn't know it used different ammo. So I googled it - interesting gun.

Is the recoil much reduced as they say?

What I found even more interesting was the fact that that gun smuggled into mexico can easily fetch $5,000 USD since given the right ammo, it is body armor piercing. Seems like a lot of money. Of course, the person you are dealing with would probably turn around and shoot you after the exchange, so there is that to consider as well.

Yes, FN FiveSeveN. 5.7x28mm rounds. I believe the UN uses this caliber as it is also used in the P90 (PS90) rifle.

I didn't get a chance to fire it yet but I plan on heading out later this week for some plinking. Full size frame but fully loaded it weighs less than my Glock 19. Came with 3 20 round mags.

Nice!! How much are rounds up in your area? That's what has stopped me from buying one.

Let me know - definitely an interesting gun now that I've googled it.

I'm sure its probably not easily obtainable (gun or ammo) up here, but neat gun.

I own:

1 - .223/5.56 Rifle
1 - .308 Rifle
1 - 12ga Shotgun (semi-auto)
1 - .44mag revolver
3 - 9mm pistols
2 - .45 ACP pistols (3rd was ordered the beginning of April this year, but it'll be months before I get it)

Lately, the one I've had the most fun shooting is the .44mag wheelgun...but it's also been the most challenging & frustrating. It's heavy as all get out and has a birds-head grip, which forces a one-handed grip for the most part.

Any 50 year old comm block handgun that shoots 7.62x25 is armor piercing and can be found for under 300 bucks.......

Yeah...perhaps I could have worded that better.

I was ACTUALLY trying to draw a link to you being a nefarious person who, if Mexico was closer to you, would purchase said gun and smuggle it in to earn $5K USD per gun....but since Mexico isn't close to you, that has stopped you from purchasing one.

Anyhow, my fail.

What makes you think i didn't already do that?

I keep thinking you're Belgie with that avatar. I guess i assume any avatar with a statue of some old dude makes me assume it's Belgie.

That's the general idea - I'm in it for the long con. It is ///M Power-Belgium most favourite individual and the more people that start to mistake my avatar for his, the better.

After all, my avatar is of a conqueror, rather than someone who ran away...right Belgie?

The question is, are you a direct descendant of the man pictured in your avatar?

Scheels (Sporting store around me) price matches so I just got 3 boxes of 50 rounds of the FN blue tip (Hornandy VMax "sporting" ammo) for $60 or 40 cents a round. I bought 1,000 American Eagle FMJ rounds from BulkAmmo for about 33 cents a round for the range. Much cheaper than the last time I looked at getting a FiveseveN.

Also the red tip armor piercing rounds are law enforcement only - not available to civilians sadly. I have some big metal plates that I would like to plink...that have stood up to numerous green tip 5.56 rounds.

Nice! Why the wait on the .45? Is it something awesome like a custom 1911?

That's not bad at all.

Maybe i should revisit this pistol option...
