    Pretty neat.

    I nearly bought a FNH Five-seveN when they first came out, but didnt for the lack of brass at the time.
    Kinda wish I would of.

    Price is fine.

    I will say it, niche gun.

    Light, low recoil, high capacity, blah, blah, blah.

    Its chunky, requires earplugs, and doesn’t penetrate enough.

    Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t accept a free one.

      Clunky?
      Compared to what?

      Unless it is a supressed .22LR or a air pistol, what fire arm does not require ears?

    5.7 round has good penetration against 3a armor from longer barrel https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/10/16/5-7x28mm-body-armor/

    Think about it tho , for the same price , you could get three tokarevs . The 7.62×25 , tends to overpen at close range , and will defeat a lot of body armor , because of high velocity . Best thing is , they are so cheap , if it gets stolen out of your car , or whatever , your not out much . For the same price , you could get two of their LC9’s . very popular little pistol for CC . In a caliber easy to find .

      I’d rather have the Ruger.
      Or the FN for that matter.

      I think ammo for the Five-seveN might be more available then the 7.62×25.
      I have seen the Five-seveN ammo on the shelf at local gun shops.
      Never for the 7.62×25.
