My brother just recently got his CCW and a P226 in 9mm, which is alright, but 9mm is not my favorite ammunition, it's still so fun to shoot and I was thinking about putting an advance on getting my own pistol. I just turned 20 last saturday, so as per PA laws, I can't buy a pistol until I'm 21, but I can be given one as a gift (give my bro the money, he "gives" it to me as a "present") and I'm 100% sure of what I'm going to get. The gun is called a Five-SeveN and it's made by Fabrique Nationale. It's a decent sized pistol with a polymer frame that shoots 5.7X28mm rounds, esentially a rifle round, in a 20 round magazine (seems like overkill, but only half the recoil of a 9mm, and plus I'll be using it to practice a lot, then when I become a state trooper, purchasing a brand new one as my sidearm) with the only drawback being that 50 rounds is hard to find still, and also $30 at the cheapest.
Here is a good example of one on Auction Arms. As you can see, the gun comes with a custom molded case, 3 20 round mags, and a cleaning kit. The gun forum my brother browses a lot seems to love the Five-SeveN and many people want one for their next gun. My question to CEG is this: anyone have any experience with the Five-SeveN?
Thanks, and feel free to post your own PDW.
