When I bought the gun it came with non adjustable sights. I was shooting the 40grain ammo. It was so far off I called FN. They told me it was sighted  for the 27 grain ammo. I tried it snd was dead on. Now it doesn't appear they make the 27 grain ammo anymore. Any suggestions.

It kind of ticks me off they would sight it with the 27 grain.

You can purchase all the 27 gr SS198 off of Gunbroker that your wallet will support.

I had the same gun and if I remember right the 27gr was a dead hold over and the 40gr was a 6 o'clock hold. Took very little time to get used to it and I was hitting soda cans at 100yds. Pretty much the one gun I regrett selling. I will buy another one but probably not till next year.

I usually shoot 6 o'clock. At 50 feet was hitting 4 inchs low with 40 and  bullseye with 27 grain.

Thats the problem with fixed sights on the five seven . SS197 and AE will be close POI,  SS195 will be a tad lower POI , ss198 , ss190 should be POA/POI. You will have to compensate or get adjustable sight or red dot mount
