I want one. I don’t have a reason, but who cares. It’s on my “eventually” list.
Looks very nice. Tactical and durable and powerful.
I think the height of their sex appeal was when Battlestar Galactica (the relaunch) was running, I recall the Five seveN was one of their standard sidearms in the show. I wanted one for about 20 minutes. My wife is a savvy enough shooter that I would get clunked over the head for buying one just because it was another esoteric ammunition type we would have to stock (I already have a 10mm habit).
The reason I’ve stayed away is that it’s basically a .22 Magnum, but in a really expensive proprietary cartridge only available from FN. While the cartridge is reloadable, it’s really not worth doing so for what equates to a rimfire plinking gun.
I love my FiveseveN. I fortunately stocked up on ammo a couple of years ago, because it’s hard to find right now. I would argue with John from TX that the 5.7 x28 shares more with the 5.56 than the 22Magnum.http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/11/23/myth-busting-22-magnum-vs-5-7x28mm/
The 5.7 from a pistol is roughly equivalent to the .22 magnum from a rifle from what I’ve read. I’d love to have one as something light to pack along for four legged varmints when I’m in the pasture or woods.
I would love to have one but both the pistol and ammo are too expensive for me at this time.
