FN Five Seven

I'm partial to the compact and sub compact Glocks in 9mm & .40 for concealed carry.

But if your looking at woods and concealed carry, I'd consider a Glock 29 a good choice.

Just bought myself a Sig 9mm  yesterday

How does that fn 57 handle?

Very nicely.  Not much recoil/flip.  I would say not much more than a .22, but in a larger framed gun--so more controllable.  I could shoot cans with it and the recoil barely made me have to resight.

My pops was wanting one of those, almost picked one up but then I told him about the 9 x 25 Dillon

Check out the 460 Rowland conversion for the g21

If I were doing the 460 rowland,  I'd get the lonewolf long slide kit for a G21 (The G20 and G21 are the same lower I think so It'd slide right on our G20's) and the 460R long barrel with threaded end and a comp 
 
 
that'd be a helluva rig I'd need a chrono to make sure I had enough spring lol
 
I like magnum power, but pops was after speed.  The 9x25 Dillon offers that in spades at just over 2000 FPS for the 90 grain bullets.
 
I can imagine I'll have all kinds of ways to shoot this G20 - the 9x25D is going to come next I think.
 
I'm going to have fun with this

going to move this discussion to the G20 thread

Just like J. Hoffa said, little more recoil than a .22 but long range, high capacity and light weight. Can be armor piercing with the right rounds. Its the same gun that Nidal Hasan used in the Fort Hood shooting a few years ago, he knew it would penetrate vests.

According to pretrial testimony, Hasan entered the Guns Galore store in Killeen on July 31, 2009, and purchased the FN Five-seven semi-automatic pistol that he was to use in the attack at Fort Hood. According to Army Specialist William Gilbert, a regular customer at the store, Hasan entered the store and abruptly asked for "the most technologically advanced weapon on the market and the one with the highest magazine capacity. Hasan was allegedly asked how he intended to use the weapon, but did not give a straight answer, insisting that he simply wanted the most advanced handgun with the largest magazine capacity. The three individuals conversing with Hasan—Gilbert, the store manager, and an employee—all agreed upon the FN Five-seven pistol. Gilbert, who personally owned one of the pistols, spent nearly an hour describing it to Hasan, explaining that the gun was extremely lightweight and accurate, and telling him that the bullets it fires cause severe damage on impact.

When the conversation ended, Hasan left the store, saying he needed to research the weapon. He returned to purchase the gun the next day, and visited the store on a weekly basis to buy extra magazines, along with hundreds of rounds of 5.7×28mm SS192 and SS197SR ammunition. In the weeks prior to the attack, Hasan visited an outdoor shooting range in Florence, where he allegedly became adept at hitting silhouette targets at distances of up to 100

wonder if there is much truth to the rumors of the Five7 firing out of battery - this happen to you?

 There have been a few reported cases, one guy posted his story on several forums making it look like it has happened a lot. The common factor in all the reported cases is they were using their own hand loads.

So it's kinda like a glock?

If that is directed at me you've wasted your energy - I'm not a big fan of Glock
