This review of the FN Five-Seven pistol highlights its unique safety mechanism, striker-fired action without restrike capability, and a trigger comparable to a Glock with a 3.5lb connector. Ergonomics are praised with an extended magazine release and aggressive stippling, though the larger grip circumference due to the 5.7x28mm cartridge may be an issue for smaller hands. The pistol features a lightweight polymer-over-steel slide and a standard Picatinny rail for accessories.
The FN Five-Seven pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm offers impressive velocity (~1700 fps) and flat trajectory for extended range accuracy. Its standard 20-round capacity is a significant advantage, with aftermarket 30-round extensions offering comparable capacity to Glock magazines in a more compact form. Field stripping is simple, akin to a Glock, and the internal design is praised for reliability. However, the proprietary nature of the 5.7x28mm round impacts ammunition availability.
