Our Assessment: The Five-seven pistol was developed by FN Herstal in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon and the FN 5.7x28mm cartridge. The FN P90 was introduced in 1990, and the Five-seven was introduced in 1998 as a pistol using the same 5.7×28mm ammunition. Developed as a companion pistol to the P90, the Five-seven shares many of its design features: it is a lightweight polymer – based weapon with a large magazine capacity, ambidextrous controls, low recoil, and the ability to penetrate body armor when using certain cartridge types. It is in use by various military and police forces including the U.S. Secret Service. This pistol is in great condition and needs someone who enjoys a hot cartridge and wants something a little different. The cartridge is capable of 2000 fps with a 40 grain bullet, so this is great for hunting small game as well as target shooting or home defense.
