The functions of handguns like SIG, HK, etc. for the price of a Glock. A high capacity (16+1), quality, double action firearm that you can beat to shit and abuse for around $450 is what every man needs. |

No because this one has a proper grip angle.

Not this one, just came out. Most stocking dealers are still waiting. ETA: You could be thinking of the FNP-M. |

Do my eyes deceive me or do I see a removable backstrap....does it have different palm swells, ala like the MIAD grip?

isnt this the same pistol they marketed under the browning name? either way i like it just from looking at it. CMMG was talking bout it last year, gave up asking bout it since it never seemed to materialize so i could look and hold one. might have to start checking back into it now.

Does the 5-7 have one too? |

won't fire with the magazine removed. I had one in 40 and it was kinda boring. I sold it

Everything was fine until you got to the part about the magazine disconnect. Unless it can be easily removed (ala BHP), then this gun is a NO-GO.

I hate that about FNs too. Will a Glock fire with the magazine removed? |

I think he means the PS90 and FS2000, so grammatically you are correct...they are not assault rifles. |

Hopefully this one can be corrected like the HP. I wonder if the 5.7 can have the disconnet removed. |

PS90s and FN2000s. |

I believe I read somewhere on here or maybe the 5.7 forum that yes the disconnect can be easily removed but doing so will VOID your warranty. |
