Fn 57

You guys have any opinions on the FN - 57 handgun.

Yeah, I'd love to have one! : )

Very cool handgun. All kinds of contraversy on the round though. I'd love an FN FiveSeven and a P90 as well! :drool:

I'd love to have one! I like the concept and the high capacity. As far as I know the only ammo we lowly civilians can get for it is the hollowpoint which kind of defeats the purpose. I think that sucks! Some say you can get the standard ammo for it but I've seen the BATFE ruling and so far haven't seen anything to contradict that.

The 5.7x29 (or is it 28?) is one $%#@ of a round....FN has stepped up to the plate of personal defense and blown the market away...High capacity magazines in both the pistol and the sub gun (P90), great ergonomics, great penetration rating, and one helluva coolness factor!

With the exception of the prices, I am a HUGE fan of FN. They are one of the few Manufacturers out there actively building for the civi population. Pretty much everything they come up with is funneled right into civi sales. Have you guys seen the F2000 (I think that's the right designation)? The new 223 Bullpup design? Very cool. They've also put out some very impressive tactical .308s recently (PBR and SPR I beleive).

wonder how the ballistics compare to an AR15 pistol, with say, an 11.5" 1/9 twist chrome lined? (more of a toy, not a serious weapon)
