    5.7 x 28 from pistol = Only 100-150fps less than .22WMR from rifle .

    Take that either way , depending on your opinion of .22WMR .

    I have coveted a FN 5.7 for a while but three downsides stop me. #1 price of ammunition, #2 can't shoot at AGC range, #3 even tho I have no suppressors yet, making a subsonic version of this seems silly.

    You should be able to shoot it on the Barnes Range

    Shoot the JHP ammo for it and you’re fine at AGC

    Has one has been submitted to MSP yet?

    I'd love to handle one to see if it's something I'd actually carry or not. I was going to go the FN route a few years ago and even bought 650 rounds for one but felt like the grip was just a tad too thick for me.


    You got the hard to get premium ammo there.

    I also had a FiveSeven. Super reliable. Good looking too (mine was the FDE version). But the grip didn't work well for me, and the intermittent availability of the more interesting ammo loadings annoyed me.

    had mine out today, and must I love how it shoots !!was steadily ringing a 6 inch round steel plate at about 30 yards. nice balance, recoil wasn't a issue at all . trigger was a bit stiff. but I hear they lighten up with use. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and cant wait to get it out again :-D
