Re: FN pistols?
Shot a buddy's five-seven last year.Had almost no recoil,but it was loud.It has an annoying report similar to a 22 mag.But it was cool shooting it out past 50 yards with the 20 and 30rd mags.I read an interesting write up on the cartridge in American Handgunner a while back that was pretty illuminating.Evidently,most of the ballistic feats the round accomplished were out of the carbine,such as penetrating a kevlar helmet at distance.But the author noted that in the pistol,the velocity drops off dramatically,in fact,he compared it to that of a 22 magnum from a rifle.With the way Glocks are priced,I have a tough time seeing how any polymer handgun is worth over a grand,(almost $1200.00 in my area)
