used FN Five-seveN 5.72 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hondarrgh · 03-27-2008, 01:36 PM

First off.
Found one in the local Tradin' Post for $250.
Listed as MUST SELL NO VA ID NEEDED!!! Sounds shady but im still interested in it. Primarily its odd caliber.

Secondly i asked a friend about the gun and he blah blah crap blah blah not a XD blah its ILLEGAL.
Called the Local Gun Shop, same answer. Is this true, i can seem to find any reliable info on this pistol. Thanks again!

maybe the ID thing might be illegal...but the FN caliber is pretty kool. Have one selling here at my local shop for 228.00...intresting thou, no one picked it up, maybe because of the caliber? I wonder if their hard to find...

While some of the ammo is illegal for civilian sales, unless you have some local law prohibiting its sale, the gun itself is not.

The ammo is expensive enough to prohibit our SWAT team from carrying these coupled with FN's sub-gun in the same caliber. From what I understand from a friend who owns one, the Five-seveN is accurate to about 75 yards. That's pretty good for a duty sized handgun.

Its also basiclly a 22 magnum ballistically. Especially true without the magic bullets that we are not cool enough to have. These guns have really tumbled in price since they were first introduced.

Do you mind giving the name and info of your local shop? I'd love to have one at that price. The caliber is weird so most don't want it.

Awesome!!!

Then it's just a matter of making the call and getting it before someone else does

that's a darn good price for that gun. It really suprises me. I guess it's just the area. A lot of shops can't keep them in stock and they sell for $900 retail. I'm going to assume this is a used gun that was traded in since the ammo is almost non-existant and expensive.

They seem like a cool gun and the ammo is not all that expensive you have to order tho. I would like to pick one up for a toy.

zac07 · 03-27-2008, 02:23 PM

Midway has the ammo on sale for 18.99/50 so it is close 45acp price

rogerxd45 · 03-27-2008, 02:25 PM

they have a nw one locally for 900, the only benifit i can see is same cal for two guns and soft armor penetrating in a handgun. i would buy one if its under 300 but no way im going to spend 800 on it

All that you can depend on from a 45 is that it will drill a .45 - .70 inch hole about 14 inches into someone. There will not be "energy dump", people will not fly backwards, and they will not necessarily fall as if they have been struck by lighting.
