I like these FN's...Done some reading about them, they seem reliable, accurate, the only thing is their frames have a bit beefy/tuperware feel to them, but all in all i like the gun and round.

Now they got 10 rnd extension mags/springs, so 30 rnds. total.
I've yet to shoot one, i felt the trigger a while back, felt a bit weird, lot of creep and the letoff was okey...trigger is my only issue with them now, can this be worked on?

Anyone hear or know of someone who makes these triggers feel better? Not looking for lighter pull, the pull felt like 5 lb or so, it's the long creep and rough feel that i disliked.

did you read about the ballistics?  mv and ft/lbs.  thats what i thought was the downfall.

I thought they fired these.......


Kidding...30 rounds of almost anything should do the job, but personally I'd take the option of 8 or more well placed 45ACP rounds any day.

It is a neat looking pistol for sure. What are the ballistics?

If ammo wasn't so expensive I would buy a PS90, but not a Five-seveN. The gun seems cheaply made. It reminded me of a Hi-Point. I like the fact that it has a 20 round mag. I also would consider owning one because certain people out there don't want us to.

I think ballistics are a .22 projectile weighting about 30 grains at 2100 FPS. I could be wrong though. I know it does better out of the PS90's barrel.

30rds in a handgun?  If I was an entry man in an anti-zombie task force......

Yes they will defeat light arrmor with the AP round that civis cant get or own..

The advantage to this one is the AP capabilities, but civilians can't get AP ammo anyway, so what would be the point?  The 20 round mag is nice, but if a 9mm HP can do just as much damage (or more from what I've read) why switch?  Not to mention, the ammo is expensive, so training with it would be difficult with a tight budget.  

That said, I had one in my hand last night and really loved how light it was and felt like a nice weapon.  I wouldn't mind taking it to the range to see how it feels.
