Title: AR FiveSeven
Post by: huntnphool on January 03, 2010, 02:34:16 PM: Have any of you guys built and played with one of these yet? I have a PS90 and FiveSeven pistol and am considering the AR platform.

Are you looking for something that will not be as loud? Perhaps just a cool toy in a different chambering?

I think the 5.7 pistol is an ugly yet cool plinker.

The pistol is a lot of fun Gutpile, long range, penetration, very low recoil.

Post by: Galpster on January 04, 2010, 01:46:27 PM: I looked at the web site and cannot tell who is producing these. Is it FNH? If so ?I love their stuff. I have the FNP 45 and love it. Great quality product by a great American company. I know the FNP 5.7 is made in Belgiam but the rest of FNH is made here.

Looks cool

The FNP 5.7 I think looks plasticy. I have fired them along with the P90 and they shoot really nice. The 50 round top loaded clip is really cool.

You can rent them at Wades in Bellevue for like $25 bucks

Post by: yorketransport on January 04, 2010, 01:59:54 PM: My only complaint with the 5.7 is that it's not very reloader friendly. I like the guns but hate the thought of having to buy ammo.
