My buddy has a line on a NIB olive drab green Five-seveN at his local pawn shop.
Shop is asking $1399.99. Is that a good deal on this gun? Aren't the odg models out of production? Gun broker is scarce, except for one fellow who has his listed for $2250... An odg 5.7 is a grail gun for me, and they are rare. I'd buy it but I just bought a house and my funny money is all tied up 
My buddy isn't a fan of the green so I'm trying to convince him to buy it so I can buy it from him later

Not a bad price, they ONLY offered the now out of production USG models in Green. I don't think many were produced.

If you want an ODG one, buy it. You won't find one at that price. They haven't been made for quite some time. It is the older USG model. The current MKII is only available in Black & FDE. I have 2 USGs and an MKII in FDE. I prefer the look of the older USGs. The top of the slide is rounded. The MKII the top of the slide is square and more bulky. The MKII is also beefed up a little in a few areas of the lower. Don't worry about it. Just get the USG. If it has the old mag release you will need to update it. FN will send you the part for free.

Btw, my friend and I took it out to shoot, and I was a terrible shot with it
Maybe buying off of him is a bad idea, but I still loved it! |

It takes quite a lot of practice to shoot the FiveseveN accurately, if you practice you will get there. |

Boy, that's the truth. I'm not a great shot but I'm better than most I've shot with. The 5.7 takes me concentrating to group well. The trigger is the toughest for me as it's the only striker fired weapon I own. Still, when I take my time, I've hit prairie dogs at 100 yards and certainly chased them around their holes at up to 130 yards. Don't have the eyes or steadiness off hand anymore that I used to have. |

Actually it's a single action hammer fired. It's just the hammer is hidden inside the slide cover. Quote HistoryQuoted:
