PhilbillyFN 5.7 pistol anyone?
Been reading up a bit on this Fn pistol seems to have a cult following also seems hard to find. Seems the Brady people have put a jinx on it as with certain ammo can penetrate vests. I wonder what the future is for this round is it 5.56 x28 or 5.7 x28? Would make a good double action revolver if extraction problems would be resolved. I presume its not a shortened 223. That would be nice as brass could be made. It seems to be a super flat shooting round .

butchlocplayed with it a little bit cause a good friend has one. i wasn't to impressed. the little round comes in 2 loadings the one for civilian sales is pretty weak knee'd, and you can't get the military one that something to it. ammo is pricey. in actual fact i really didn't see much difference between it and one of the hot loaded 22 mags

PeterThere was a previous thread on this topic I believe. Ammo is a bit expensive. CDNN has the guns for sale (or at least had them). I agree that the future is questionable. I am also not sure that the advertised velocities were being reached. IN the previous thread I asked about accuracy and I don't believe that I received an answer that stated anything really positive.

Rick RI've fired the military style ammo out of one of the subguns and it's still a yawner. Accuracy wasn't too bad, but the impact just didnt' seem like something I'd willingly stake my life on.
