This is not mine but I wish it was; different versions of the FK-Brno. Does anyone have any experience with this pistol? Is it as good as the reviews and videos say it is?
I've got one and the 9mm conversion barrel. Had issues with the S95 jacketed hollow point ammo and F5 ammo, earlier manufactured stuff. Primers were on the harder side and had about a 25% failure rate with them. They all fires on the 2nd strike except for a handful that took 3 strikes. I've had 0 issues with newly manufactured ammo, which was provided by FK as a replacement for the bad batch of ammo I had been sold. They've fixed the ammo issues as far as I've experienced and others experienced.
The 7.5FK F5 ammo is a pretty heavy hitter and at 40yds put craters in a 3/8" steel target. For reference, M855 makes a similar crater at 100yds from my 18" AUG.
Put a Trijicon RMO6 3.25 on it and zeroed at 25yds per FK instruction book and it shot a little high an left at 100yds. I am not a spectacular pistol shooter, kinda meh but not terrible and at 100yds I can make hits 50/50 on a 2/3 sillouhette unsupported. The trigger is comparable to something like the geissle G2S trigger, a decent 2 stage, nice break and a shorter reset than I had on my CZ 75B. The grip does not really feel oversized either, pretty decent.
The 9mm conversion is hilarious, federal HST 124 +p is so little recoil it's ridiculous. I can run a plate rack faster with 124 +p in the FK than I could with a mild 115 load out of my 75B.
Here's the bad,
The gun needs cleaned pretty frequently, mostly for reliability with the 9mm conversion. As it gets dusty and dirty on dry windy days it will fail to lock back on last round and start stove piping. Replacing the tungsten weight with a lighter place holder would probably help with that a little bit. I weighed the slide on a freon scale accurate to .5oz and the FK slide and weight are almost heavier than the bolt and recoil rod/spring in a CZ scorpion Evo.
The 7.5FK ammo is $1.50/rnd. I guess you could argue that it is essentially "match grade" or "high performance" ammo not unlike rifle ammo. If you compare it to a similar 300 black out round, it's not entirely out of line for either a reliable 95 grain jacketed hp (S95) or 95 grain solid copper HP (F5). And the F5 round IS comparable to a 8" 300 blackout shooting super sonic ammo in the 100-110 grain class.
The older 7.5FK ammo is unreliable, but so far the new stuff is spot on and performs as you'd expect 1.50/rnd ammo to perform.
Aftermarket is still lacking. The best place I've seen for holsters for the gun is from Falco. Haven't seen any other holsters that I've been happy with yet.
I've enjoyed the gun immensely and think it's worth the price of admission personally. There is also a 10mm auto/40S&W conversion. I don't have it but plan to as soon as it's in stock.
