Review of the FN FiveseveN 5.7x28 mm pistol

[clinton1620]

love my 5.7 check out pro-mag, they make 30 rnd. mags with matching grip pattern as the pistol..

[chaosspawn420]

u know wat u talking about i love that gun reliable

[sagroove]

Just ordered my FN FIve-Seven yesterday and it will be arriving next Tuesday. Needless to say Im pumped!!!!

[llamawizard]

As a gun & wine enthusiast myself, I've enjoyed watching your videos, but dude, you keep murdering the pronunciation of the word ambidextrous. There is no "i" or "e" after ambidextr. just fyi

[GENODELMAROATL]

were you get the t from i cant find any

[felix3322]

Always gotta have a good Zombie Killn Gun laying around.

[tydy91]

i wouldn't want to be shot by any gun

[CRXPhil]

Nice review, thanks

[SSJSasuke777]

Think About it 20 rounds a mag 5 mags 100 rounds. 100 Zombies Dead. I Dont know about you but thats alotta Zombies. Fuck Dude This Gun is a must

[EliteDWB]

@SSJSasuke777 well carry a good knife/sword, you dont have to reload a blade. lol i dont really totally believe in a zombie invasion but id know what to do if there was one, and silencers would be your friend. also, .22 long rifles would be your best friend with a max range of 1 1/2 miles.

[SSJSasuke777]

Pal .22's Don't have a mile and a half range in accuracy I don't even think it would make it that far even if you angle it.

[EliteDWB]

@SSJSasuke777 yea i know they arent accurate, but the .22 can reach out that far. i realized when i first heard it how ourageous it was but lo, they can reach that far. i imagine a slight breeze would throw it around quite a bit. if you actually want what i would use, id be buying a m99 barrett chambered in .416 now theres a rifle that can shoot 1 1/2 miles accurately

[MrSamjones1993]

@SSJSasuke777

shos how little you know about the .22 round.

[NIKON777]

nice bro.

[themitchman01]

How much did it run you?

[gunnuts82]

just how wicked is the 5.7 bullet? I think of the 17hmr and the way those little bullets just completly blow whatever ur shootn apart...is it like that?

[Eyesofthesouth333]

Love your reviews bro! Very descriptive, you answer my questions.

Subscribed.

[Stealthelephant101]

I recently got the 5.7 bc im a 1 handed(left) shooter. im a avid shooter an was long be4 accident. This gun should be ban for the amount of fun alone.:D I lov mine. An take pride in knowing no1 would ever make it 2 me who wasnt invited. my 20 bodyguards always keep watch.:)

[Flap999]

Good review man. Beautiful handgun.

[Reapers261]

The 4.6 wasnt as effective as the 5.7, That is why the UCP was canceled.

[Jeenyus1983]

Fascinating ballistics on the 5.7/28! I picked up a xdm/40(17 in the clip@ 40 cal) I'd hate to shoot the 5-7 Id wantone! Just picked up a new sx-ar in .308 today! man, I gotta quit buying shit...wife says we need a basinet for the coming baby-I say what goods a basinet if you cant defend it!!

[12ctcoloredpencils]

I've been wanting to get a Five-seveN for some time now. Honestly, I think I prefer 5.7 to 4.6. It has a little better stopping power and would be better against zombies. I like both companies and their guns though.

[Halvorson]

for a zombie i would choose something that would leave a bigger cavity in the head, call me crazy!

[Halvorson]

@Halvorson don't get me wrong though, that is a beautiful gun!

[12ctcoloredpencils]

@Halvorson, I generally agree with you, but don't forget the bullet yaws when it makes impact to cause more damage. Due to that, its accuracy, and its high-capacity magazines, I would concur with Jordan here that it would be a superb anti-zombie weapon.

[robotjoe]

.45ACP are just as expensive if not more.

[QYBXskipperX]

holy shit 30 bucks for 50 rounds? thats why i do reloads for my 5.56 rounds or i just buy cheap ammo if its short range target time. silver bear is like 28 bucks for 100 rounds but thats only for short range plinking. long range hunting and target i use Hornady rounds or reloads

[xenocideCM]

"Great for killing zombies" - Awesome.

[mrfrankincense]

the 4.6x30mm has a flatter trajectory, higher muzzle veocity, lower recoil and is smaller

[catalinux007leiro]

yea, but what pistol shoot 4.6x30mm?

[mrfrankincense]

the h&k ucp it's not vailable for the public it'sa p2000sk in 4.6. military only as of now. i'm saying i would wait for that instead of the fiveseven

[catalinux007leiro]

The HK UCP is the companion sidearm to the H&K MP7 right? Like Five seven and P90. I choose 4.6 x 30 mm instead 5.7 x 28 mm too, but i doubt that 4.6 x 30 mm will be available for civilians. And who knows, prob gov will bann 5.7 x 28. My advice is to but now a five seven.

[12ctcoloredpencils]

According to Wikipedia, the UCP was canceled.

[bunchomalarkey]

Quite a weapon. Good recoil, ballistics, etc. This FiveseveN would complement my FN F(S)2000. The only thing I see that could be an issue is the proprietary ammunition, and the grip size(I'm short and don't have the biggest hands). The latter being more of a personal issue. Prices on European weapons are up there, but if you can afford them, go for it. Get one before the Liberals take them away, for I believe this would be one of the first weapons to be banned. Bullets kill people, not the guns!

[ar15death]

hell yeah, i'll take an ar-15 and this FN for zombie killing!!! ha

[aimstylus]

Reserved one at my local gunstore yesterday- haven't seen one bad review of this thing; going to pick it up next weekend.

[QuarkToo]

Stop pointing that gun at me OR I SHOOT BACK!

[scubaschlenk]

That's next on my list. My last purchase was between a FN or Saiga 12 with 2 12rd mags, a 5 and a 20 round drum. I went with the 12 gauage, now thats zombie killin. But I really want to pick up 57 pistol.

[G48202]

oh no tom cruise gots a gun!!...jk thanks for the vid..keep posting new vids the more you use it, i would like to know how it will do in the long run...i think pistols need to earn a good reputation :)

[pjicleanair420]

i got mine for $1077.00 with tax, and although it is a bit big in my opinion for concealed carry, (prefer my glock model 27 for that purpose), this gun is a real treat to shoot. Smooth very low recoil, and very high velocity, and can shoot APR's, but they were banned to the public in 1986 , for police and armed forces use only, bu ti really like to shoot it, good choice

[mrfrankincense]

if zombies did attack, which of your weapons would you bring???

[BAYAREA4150]

what zombies retard......i thought people with mental problems couldnt own guns

[1j7d1]

how much are those running for?

[IMFagentSamFisher]

Only once have I seen it going for less than a grand. The average general price range I'd say is $1000-1100. They're not cheap lol.

[whitesupra]

$800 to $1300 pending if its used or not and where yoiu buy it from online places have cheapest price but i wouldnt recommend online purchases

[dp665]

i like everything about it but the safety lever being were it is it should be reachable by the thumb so when you draw on your target you cant disengage it on the draw

[whitesupra]

with some practice you can get use to it i can disengage it on draw just took a few tries thats all

[eastcoastdylan]

THe BRady campaign tried to outlaw it by saing that the pistol itself killed a number of cops in 03. Fabrique Nationale responded by saying that the gun was not even invented or out on the market until 04. This help put a hold on the banning of the firearm. The FN five seven is still legal. It comes standard with 3 20rd mags cleaning stuff a lock and a manual.

[whitesupra]

other then california, it is a 10 round magazine there so sucks to buy this gun if you live in california

[eastcoastdylan]

IT is legal.

[CrazyShooterDood]

This is a great gun. If you are in CA you will need to purchase the 10 round mags. They don't plan to ban it on account of the high capacity mags, they plan to ban it because of its ability to pierce Type-II Kevlar vests. Get them quick... they are going to be banned soon. This gun really is awesome. The recoil is like a .22 mag, and the sights are great. The gun tracks well. It is also accurate to about 200 yards if you can shoot it well.

[NastyChuck]

Is the five seveN good first pistol?

[rush357x]

cool gun

but no

[dvospeed1]

Go with something in 9mm or even a 22 to learn how to shoot well. With the 22 you can go through a lot of rounds.

The 57 is a bit more expensive than 9mm, but recoil is less, so if money is no issue, it can be.

[dstephen9]

1k and it's mostly made out of polymer?

I want one, but give me a break there's no way that thing costed more than $250 US to make. A CZ52 7.62x25mm is one ugly, uncomfortable gun, but at under 200 bucks it will do the same as this thing.

[eastcoastdylan]

the price tag is around 1250 to 1000 depending on where you get, i would recommend it I have one and it is just as good as my glock

[KINGKILLA87]

hey eascoast, i know this gun is for sale to military and law enforcement use only. But is it for sale to active military members for use as a home defense or personal carry?

[Graywolf727]

What are you talking about. This gun is for sale to the public.

[whitesupra]

this gun is legal for civilian use and yes you can carry it a concealed carry but just keep in mind it maybe a lighter gun but its also a full size gun so its a bit hard to conceal carry unless you get the hang of it or find a bad ass holster

[goddarddrumrEB]

That front sight is horrendous for concealed carry. Tom Selleck would catch that giant blade sight on his hawaiian shirt it's so big

[Prowler1]

hi'

it looks like a possible Glock successor.. (finally?)

but there are several issue with it,

1. and the biggest problem with the over penetration.

that maybe sorted if FN will modify the round for less penetration.

personally i don't like active safety, though the position seams like brilliant option.

2. accessories. (red dot & so forth)

[lilcobra58]

zombie killing thats great, ya i tested one of these at the gun store..... and know i got one sitting in my safe. Absolutely love this gun. If you can get any ss192 ammo for this gun get it while you can. Also two friends who are females they shot the 5.7 and love it. Kinda pricey but well worth it.

[jman984]

what kind of a price tag is on that?

[iced4life3]

I think around 1000$ (USD) depending on where you get it.

[chuncaladush]

How much is it? Pretty cool gun.

[honkycabbit]

damn what the fuck was wrong with the nine mm.

ammo is dirt cheap and you can save even more more money reloding it. i just dont think this gun is worth it

[metalman22417]

The 9mm is a terrible cartraige. My litlle brother has had to shoot stray cats getting into my dad's chickens, and has dispatched many in one shot with a .22lr. The one time he used a 9mm he hit the cat 5 times and it ran away. And all his hits were very good hits. The 5.7 is simillar to the 7.62x25mm Tokarev and is a very effective round.

[ooMINOXoo]

Are you stupid? 9mm vs 22lr? Get real.

[metalman22417]

Have you ever actually compared the 2 on game? I think not. I have, and the 22lr has performed better every single time in every single situation. So, yeah...I am being real.

[ooMINOXoo]

Man, there isn't even an argument here. I can tell you're just some stupid little kid that doesn't know what he's talking about. Just imagine our troops going to war with a 22lr. Get real.

[metalman22417]

Oh really? Well, I'm onlder than you by a good deal, and I know for a fact that I know more than you. I would feel much better armed with a .22lr than a 9mm. Think of our troops going to war with a fuckin' 9mm! Not all troops are even issued a side arm. Plus the side arm is meant to be a defensive weapon, not offensive. And when I say I've campared the two on 'game' I mean out hunting or dispatching pests, not a video game.

[paksteel410]

i dont get wtf u r sayin..a 22 is good for shootin small game n all but think about what ur sayin..little animals are much diffrent then armed soldiers i think id much prefer a bigger round for my terrorist killing douche bag

[metalman22417]

then go for a .45acp....douchebag

[ooMINOXoo]

Metaldude, did I stu...stutter mofo? Like I said there ain't even an argument here. You ain't gonna convince nobody to go for a 22lr over 9mm. People are reading this and laughing at you right now. OBVIOUSLY you don't know more than I. I still don't believe you've ever seen a .22lr bullet or else you'd feel shitty as hell right now. ROFL

[metalman22417]

...this comming from an unexpirienced and obviously uneducated person. Dude, I would bet my life savings that I've fired more 22lr rounds in one DAY than than the combined sum of ALL the varrying cartaiges you've fired in your whole life. That's fine if they laugh. They're laughing in obvious ignorance. I'm friens with MANY experienced shooters and reloaders and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has had a 9mm at one time. ALL have been thoroughly disgusted with the round and ALL share my opinion.

[ooMINOXoo]

Sure...keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it someday. 22lr vs 9mm...you make me laugh.

[metalman22417]

hey you do the same my friend. You also give me and all my shooting buddies quite a chuckle. have a nice day.

[metalman22417]

if you had any common sense you would've been able to figure out by now that there IS an argument here, and it is; if you're going to fight with an underpowered pistol go for the 22lr. If you want to actaully be effective, use a .45acp, 40s&w, 7.62X25 tok, or even the 5.7X28.

[whitesupra]

obiviously you havnt handled one, this gun is a high velocity and is made of 75% polymer (slide and grip) and this gun has high velocity rounds that are hollow points so i think you should check it out before you judge it

[3091181]

I picked mine up about two years ago. It's a really nice pistol, I wouldn't use it for hom defense just because the so called hollow points they make for it over penetrates like john holms but that being said it shoots very smooth, reliable (I've never had a misfire/jam), you can beat the capacity, accuracy is amazing, and almost no muzzle jump. As it is still unproven I wouldn't carry mine in the field, that's just me.

[whitesupra]

well a few law enforcement agencies have picked this gun a primary firearm and wasnt this gun origianlly meant for armed forces?

[3091181]

It was originally designed to compliment the FN P90 as both carry the same round. Short answer is yes. I didn't know anyone had officially adopted it. Which agency?

[free2game]

one thing is that the really fast 2400 ft/s rounds are really expensive, I mean are common muggers or criminals really going to be spending $90 on 50 rounds of ammo?

[whitesupra]

wow someone is ripping you off I found mine for $25 for 50 and its high velocity hollow point round and the highest i paid was $30

[KohlsSucks]

shoot the cat, SHOOT THE CAT!

[odinsgold669]

yes i think the price is ok for that gun i would get one today if i can find one

[whitesupra]

where do you live? I have found 2 in this small town where my businesses are located one guy wanted $1099 for a minor used one and $1088 for a brand new one from another shop around town btw I live in florida some states including california wont let you carry the 20 round magazine so check the local restrictions before wasting a good $1100 for a 10 round magazine just not worth it

[odinsgold669]

the big so called dealer in col hgts va told me they cant get it and they are very rare not sure if thats true

[rocca4te1]

are you talking about dance's?

[Dominick629]

good vid, thanks for the review.

[corwin8919]

Where did you get the FNH USA shirt?

[UltrasonicMark]

Nice pistol, stinky panties, poor house keeping

[GUNxSPECTRE]

Okay, then go to his house and clean it up if it really bothers you then....

[corwin8919]

I will be buying one as soon as my tax refund gets done. I have rented it at my local range twice, and it is truly awesome!!

[icefire1911]

Can you do a video of the shooting with the silencer on it? Like I want to know how it sounds with the silencer on it.

[BerettaStormPX4]

I'm all about the coming zombie shoot!

Interesting that the SLIDE is also polymer.

Am hesitant to get a gun that might get banned though. Stuff for it becomes almost impossible to find when that happens.

Plus ammo is double the cost of 9mm. Nice gun, just not for me.

[evillegion]

jajajaj that is what you think

""when no one can ""mexi-can""

[x498]

i'm glad there are people who aren't afraid to admit there is a possibility of a zombie attack someday we might survive

[Kscorps2]

3/10

[EliteDWB]

@x498 my logic is, if we were invaded by anything, why zombies? i mean we completely understand how one would kill a zombie, bullet to the brain, but i think if there was any dangerous creature it would be one we dont understand.

[MovieTheaterHead]

@EliteDWB Like muslims

[EliteDWB]

@MovieTheaterHead ladies and gentleman, here is a man that gets "it" (and i dont mean herpes this time)

[delidee32]

I like your cat at 2:28

[system0Fhonor]

I'm Belgian and so is the FiveSeven ;p with war ammo it can shoot throw bullet proof vest

[Cobra04tr]

Man I tell there are more and more believers , those zombies will come and people like us are the only ones that will still be alive. I love this weapon I hope I am able to get one before they are takeing off the market.

[manormyth77]

what good is getting this gun if the true armor piercing ammo is illegal to purchase? Ok so the civi round has a velocity of about 1700 fps, but it's capability is still limited.. I just don't see this costing twice as much as a glock..

[Orion8472]

I know I like MY zombie gun!  :-)

[kelkbro]

you should try and become a spokesman or independant tester for FN b/c after witching your three video spread, i'm seriously considering buying one.

[KirAIDS]

My father used to be an EX-Police officer so, by any chance can he still buy the USG Model of the FN Five-seveN?

[CUBuff10]

Its only current,active,and approved Military and Special Police divisions. They are kinda sticklers on armor piercing.

[evillegion]

jajajaja dude you never been to mexico to the black market???????

[A1diez2livezk47g]

i'll buy the 57 off u for 2000 dollers im over 21 but i dont have well in this canada its a headech so we smugglin here u dig

[scilonthreat]

I want the ar 57 to match!

[theme57]

im 14 right now and if i waited 2 years then had the money could i get my parents to get it for me or do i have to be 18 and buy it myself

[UJS8X]

Well your parents can buy firearms and let you use any of them at their own discretion but you actually have to be 21 to purchase handguns.

[Mossy500A]

The FN Five-Seven is the Punisher from Resident Evil 4.

[scilonthreat]

huh?

[Mossy500A]

The pistol that you get for free, it is the FN Five-Seven. In the game, one round can go through two enemies, five when fully upgraded.

[scilonthreat]

ah.

[bastard9876]

some1 shot at me with one of these and the bullet went all the way threw my truck like a warm knife cutting butter the hole was about big enough for me to stick the tip of my pointer finger threw it

[GRONDAWILL1AMS]

those are 2 diferents guns?

or the gun have 2 diferents modes cuz` i check and few stores just sell the gun of 1 round shot and others sell the gun of 2 round

[PR0PHET0FTRUTH]

Damn you! That's my sidearm in case of a zombie apocalypse! Now here I go and check out your channel and you stole my idea! Haha, excellent pistol. Probably the best overall one available on the planet right now.

[supersoundmind]

It seems there has been alot of confusion with my last post. I own(1) Five seveN, I own several other hand guns, one in just about every caliber you can think of. The five seven in my opinion is the best all around hand gun made.

[FlyingAce1717]

now i really regret not buying this gun. i got a usp instead which i really like, but this gun seems even better.

[supersoundmind]

five seven best hand gun ever made, hands down! I own alot in almost every caliber made, buy one!

[FlyingAce1717]

i own alot of 5.7? or just guns lol. yea, im saving up for one. i dont have an income, so its gona be a while..

[novan3]

FsN only comes in 1 caliber.

[supersoundmind]

I meant other hand guns in other calibers, My Five SeveN is my favorite handgun. I own twelve hand guns, ranging from .22 to a smith & Wesson .460. My Five SeveN is my favorite, in my opinion is by far the most versatile gun made.

[xycoordinatex]

lol, so do I. This was the first gun I planned to buy when I barely turned 21, but ended up getting glock36 and some other rifles instead. I would regret not having a glock, but I regretted more not having 57.

[FlyingAce1717]

u could have got a pistol at 18, i thought at first 21 but i got myn at 18. just have someone else buy it hehe

[crs7986]

i got into a debate with someone a while ago on a review of dragon skin body armor. It stopped .223 and 762 rounds and i was wondering y they didn't test it against the 57 round. its designed to penetrate body armor. haha, you should score some dragon skin and the full metal jackets and figure it out for me. On a more serious note, nice gun. one of the coolest handguns by far in my opinion. nice posts too.

[MilfordsBigboy52]

Dragon Skin Can take those rounds, APR are nothing compared to dragon skin. and i watched a thing on future weapons on it, it with stood a nade

[crs7986]

yea thats what i watched too. a grenades damage is shrapnel based and doesn't even reach its highest velocity when suppressed with something covering it. its little pieces of sharp metal not a full bullet with more mass behind it that is traveling way faster.

[trykp]

KITTEN! :D

[FN57owner]

nice review. i have a Five seven myself. the cool thing is i have the SS195 chronographed out of the Five Seven an avg of 2180fps! and have tested that round on Level 2 Kevlar vest(22layers).. yea it zips right through:) Cheers.

[em3rica2k2]

thanks for posting this review. been debating on buying one for a while. looks like ill have to go down to the gun show this weekend now.

[helioscephelles]

im jealouse.. id love to have one.. :P

[VladxDraculea]

thats what I'm talking about man. zombie killing

[kickedintheballs2000]

Great review man ( Hows the recoil on it? )

[jordanrucker]

Almost none at all. It's amazing.

[niko911]

The 5.7 has almost no recoil its really an amazing little round

[BigWen130]

Very informative POV. Thanks

[warpig257]

buy a kimber 1911 .45 cal it is well worth the price trust me it is the most kick ass gun ive ever ouned.

[kramerican]

What is considered a good price for a 1911 made by either springfield, colt, or kimber? Also what are other good vendors?
