Funny you'd ask that. I'm seriously looking at the FNH Five-seveN to go with my SCAR. It shoots a 5.7x28 bottleneck round and feels like a .22mag. Ammo is bloody expensive and it's bloody expensive but I think I may pull the trigger next month.

I had a couple of shooting buddies who had FNH 5.7s with threaded barrels and suppressors, but they got rid of them after a year because of the ammo scarcity and cost. That was 3-4yrs ago, so maybe that unusual caliber cartridge is more widely-available these days. A very nice piece, but I’d rather have the Kimber 1911.

Nonsense. 18-24 bucks for fifty rounds is expensive?

If you do, go for the adjustable sights.

Little known fact: there is a great discrepancy between point of impact and point of aim using the cheaper ss197 ammo out of the fixed sight model (which is zeroed for the ss195round). This is further exacerbated by the "European Zero" (front sight 'covers' the target) of the fixed sight model.

Americans tend to use a "top dead center" zero which will make you cuss real hard if you use it in your thousand dollar, fancy, shmancy, "combat sight" FiveseveN.
