Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the FN 5.7 and a Glock for everyday carry?

The FN 5.7 features a manual safety, which some users prefer for carrying a round in the chamber, and it has very low recoil. Glocks typically lack manual safeties. The FN 5.7 also uses 5.7x28mm ammunition, while Glocks commonly use 9mm.

Is the 5.7x28mm round effective for self-defense compared to 9mm?

The video suggests skepticism about the stopping power of the 5.7x28mm round for self-defense, with a practical test showing 9mm having a more decisive impact on steel targets. However, the 5.7 offers lower recoil and higher capacity.

What are the advantages of the FN 5.7 for concealed carry?

The FN 5.7 is praised for its lightweight design, very slight recoil, and high magazine capacity (around 22 rounds). The presence of a manual safety is also a key advantage for those who prefer it over a striker-fired pistol without safeties.

How important is practicing firearm draw and grip techniques?
