Found this on sale at almost $350 off MSRP.
FN Five SeveN in 5.7x28 and comes with 3 - 20 rd mags and with one in the chamber = 21.
Also got 500 FN rds for it at $3 off each 50 rd box.

This is like firing a .22 - but + pew pew :machinegun
Low recoil -

Plenty of the brands for civilian use are available at Academy, Palmetto Armory and The FN Outlet in Columbia S.C. The FN outlet had plenty of rds on hand, especially the 27gr type which the salesman there liked better than the 40 gr. Had them on sale at $21 a box of 50 so I got a case of 500.

27 gr hollow point, check out that muzzle velocity.

Mfg Item Number:

SS195LF

I'd like to legally have some tracer rounds.

You had a .223 pistol or rifle or a FN Five SeveN ?

 

[squirrelhunter]

.223 T/C Contender pistol,then traded the barrel for a .223 rifle barrel. Have had the .35 Rem. Pistol barrel for it since I got it around 15 years ago. Love shooting it but took me a long time to get use to the recoil. Still makes me tense the first shot if I haven't shot it in awhile

 

[threetango]

Those T/CC's are versatile weapons.


Another feature I like about the FN FiveseveN is the weight.

1.3 lbs empty

1.6 lbs loaded


It has roughly 30 percent less recoil than a 9×19mm pistol, improving controlability.

 

[threetango]

Range time soon.

 

[Bish1309]

Umm, ok let me be the first to say

 

[tazo2503]

Rock it Top! :metal2:

#Southpaw!!!! What an awesome platform

 

[tazo2503]

I'm actually a lefty too, but I shoot right handed. It's the same thing with golf. It's how my Dad taught me.

 

[threetango]

I throw left, bat right.

Shoot with both but more proficient left handed and better with pistol RH than a rifle. Talk about confusing.
