I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY. FOR MAN WITHOUT EXPENSIVE SUIT, BIG BLACK MERCEDES, AND MASSIVE YACHT, BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH LIKE BLACK GANGSTER OF AMERICAN CITY WITH GOLD CHAINS OF LOW QUALITY AND JEWELS OF COLORED GLASS.

WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN PRETEND PISTOL SHOWS HE IS RICH. IS VERY AMUSE. FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR COST LESS.
In the state of kentucky constutional carry is legal ( conceal without permit) and a firearm is not to be deemed concealed if it is contained in a factory installed compartment of the vehicle ( glove box, center cousel, trunk.) So that could be totally legal depending on what state this dude lives in
Nathaniel Shrock I wanted the FN57 really bad, due to its high round count of 20+1. I ended up buying a Springfield XDM 9mm for $500 (half the price of the Five seven). It holds just about same amount of ammo with 19+1. cheaper gun with more affordable and more available ammo. I do want the p90 though
Yea, I daily a five seven too. It does have a few flaws, but they're minor enough for me the pros outweigh the cons. I will admit, sighting it in is difficult. Once you get it, and understand the sights, its an unbelievably accurate gun. Sighting it up close and far away have drastically different results. You have to know what you're using this gun for, how far your target is, and how to adjust for elevation changes at that distance. When you understand that, this gun is ludicrously effective.
I can respect that, but I gotta say, the first thing I noticed when I held a hi point was that it was really heavy, and these are light as a feather. It's a really big difference
I shoot my five seven every day never had a malfunction an can hit 20/20 on a 12 inch target at 100 yards with .4 second splits lets see these 45 acp keyboard warriors do that......oh wait they only have 7 rounds 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same, I only shot the Five Seven two times but it was awesome and very interesting too see how powerful this handgun is, FN made a lot of cool weapons !
@@davidp4270 That's like $20 in 8 seconds right? 4 magazines a day (32 seconds) = $80 X 7 days is $560 X 52 = $29,120.00 a year in ammo for 1.5 hours of shooting. I bet you graduated top in your class.
5.7 is a great round that was created to puncture armor, your average boio isn't going to be wearing body armor, but you'll be happy you had this if you did. Though if I was going to go for a home defense with armor puncturing rounds, it'd likely be a p90. Same round, but with 50 round mag and a nutty ROF
I have had my five seven for around 8 years. I take it out to the range once in a while. One thing about it is the weight. It is lighter loaded with 20 rounds then my gen 3 glock 19 is with 15, but it is also bulkier. My CZ shadow 2 is more accurate out to maybe 35 to 40 yards, but the 5.7 accuracy is better out beyond that, likely because of the speed, and lighter bullet weight. I also recently bought a CMMG upper chambered in 5.7 x 28 loving the delayed radial blow back design, and how clean it stays.
I was in a rush the other day and couldn’t find my glock so I grabbed my 5.7(which I never carry cause it’s kinda bulky) grabbed 2 mags to go with me. Got to where I was going and while I was sitting down I was thinking “Wow I have 60 rounds on me and I can’t even tell” that being said, when you can carry so many rounds at literally a fraction of the weight it’s amazing
I do love my Five-seveN. Owned it since 2013. Never had any issue with the gun, save for one instance. Stove-piped one of the rounds, but it was not the gun's fault, but the spring in the 30 round mag when you're doing rapid fire. Only happened once, and only with the 30 rounder. Had the spring re-adjusted and nothing since.
Thank you fellas for all the great content over the years. I won't purchase a firearm without first hearing hickok45's opinion on it. even if I don't agree 100% I certainly respect your knowledge and insights.
Just bought a Five-seveN, as I've always been fascinated by them. They are expensive, the ammo is expensive, but I think they are a totally fine cartridge for self defense, and with some advantages you won't get out of any other handgun. Mainly, the ability of the round to penetrate some light armors that would easily stop a typical low velocity handgun caliber. Haven't had a chance to really run much through mine, but I love the capacity and the feel of mine. It's light, holds more rounds than most alternatives, and I think the ballistic performance of it is just fine. It is known to reliably tumble, and the light weight of the rounds make them much less likely to overpenetrate than one would expect from such a fast round. Are they the best? No, but neither are the commonly carried 9mm and .45 ACP. And I'd rather have a .22 Short revolver than nothing, so one really doesn't need "the best". Speaking of the best, the best option is what you shoot with the best, what you are comfortable with, and what works for you, in your situation. The Five-seven is a bit too big to carry on my person, but that's no issue to keep in a vehicle. My small subcompact 9mm would be the choice if I wanted something right on me, but if I'm driving, or walking through the woods, I want something full sized. If it works for you, it's a good gun.
love my fn five seven best carry pistol ever in my opinion!! No need for big bullets to take down a human especially when you can have 21 rounds with no recoil...
The FN57 is more reliable than a glock, which is hard to do. Because Glocks are reliable enough under normal circumstances. FN 57 is hammer fired, so it runs quite well under water, or packed full of mud and sand! The round is only as effective as your aiming. But, it can penetrate some serious stuff and reach in to vital areas. And you can put a lot of shots on target very very fast with it! No firearm is perfect for any particular individual, if you are good with it, then it’ll be a good option! And that goes for any pistol out there!
I’m going to share why the FN 5.7 is one of my favorite guns. 1, reliability, nothing out there in the gun world is more reliable some guns are as reliable but not more reliable. 2, depending on the ammo you’re shooting it does penetrate body armor. You can carry 4 or 5 50 round boxes of ammo in your front pocket. Try that with some of the other calibers. 4, it’s extremely lightweight, you can carry it all day long without adding to your fatigue. That said, the only drawback is the cost of ammo. I buy bulk to keep the cost down. I once purchased 8k round at a time at $14 per box of 50. I haven’t seen that price in a long while but still hoping. Thank for you video
In my experience people who love the gun are in one of two camps. They either love the P90(or Ps90) and since the Five Seven was made as the companion pistol it fits right with the P90 in their mind. Or someone is a huge fan of the Splinter Cell games, since it was the main characters favorite gun. There is also the third camp which is just a combination of the prior two, which is where I am
5.7 pistol was designed to give field medics a weapon capable of defeating battlefield armor that was smaller than the m4, which often got tossed to the side while medics went into action.
@@my9thaccount140 yeah, and it was supposed to win, it went up against MP7. But Germany vetoed the vote and every NATO country went fuck it we get what we want then. No standardization in this case.
So beautiful, and so specifically gun. In Russia we have a serial prototype analog, it’s GSH-18 for special ops, but it’s not so high quality like FN Herstal of Belgium. p.s. but thing i must say - *oh my God* - how *FAST* are bullets of Five-seven! Fantastic! p.p.s. sorry for language mistakes..
I think you hit the nail on the head here at 13:18. What you don't like about it is what appeals to those who buy it. This would 100% be a self-defense/offense weapon for me. The extra ammo capacity, versatility, and even the extra loud noise it makes are all pretty awesome for that job.
Glad this is my duty sidearm ! Not gonna lie, i got huge doubts about this one when we transitionned from HiPower (FN GP Mk.3) The plastic look and futuristic look was unimpressive and looked weak... 10 years later, the pistol is scratched on the outside but internals looks pristine ! Reliability is top notch ! Never EVER had a stoppage/jam with this one ! (and we shoot a lot in dusty, sandy muddy,rainy, icy, sunny conditions) Scratched plastic make the pistol look like something i found in a back alley but the rest speaks for itself ! One very point i need to mention is that sand/dust and moist goes between the layer of plastic and the inner metal core of the pistol and it rust ! We flush it with WD when we stock them for a long time but you really need to pay attention to this ! (or take the cover and dry it completely)
Some of our best shooters are very good at hitting things at max 250m with it ! We discovered this by "mistake" when a guy transitionned to his sidearm on a long range shooting session !
Thank you for revisiting this firearm hickok45! This is my favorite handgun of all time and it's nice to see a recent video regarding it. Hopefully the Ruger57 succeeds so more people can try firing the 5.7 cartridge (and potentially make the ammo cheaper).
I feel the FN Five-seveN is perfect for a person who wants to carry only one 1 firearm- that 5.7mm round has a very long range with less recoil & a 20x round magazine. if you are worried about the expensive ammo, you can always buy some cheap 9mm pistol to use for target practice....
@@smok3539 I think he means just plinking at the range. I got some nice guns that I occasionally shoot but don’t want to foul up, and ammo is more $, so I bought a Glock 17 as my workhorse range tool.
Not sure why folks would buy a gun designed for shooting through armor and body armor & weak on "stopping power". But that is just me. Here are the prices if you want this gun: Prices: The FN Five-seveN 5.7x28 = _$1,200 to $1,350 USD_ Now we have the Ruger 57 = around _$700 USD_ Ammo 5.7x28 FMJ 50 rds. = _$21 USD_ 5.7x28 Hornady V-Max Blue SS197SR - _$26.59 USD_
This was my first gun. I bought it in 2012 and I love it. I call it a "pocket AR" because with the extended mag option it can hold 30 STANAG rounds. It's highly accurate and inflicts minimal recoil. My only criticism is the gun is large (thankfully I have a larger hand) and the ammo can be expensive depending on brand/type/time.
@@DrakoWulf yeah but check their sells and popularity, what is their number one country….. USA…. So we basically adopted them as our pistol of choice..Okay b-bye
I love this man so much. Always take care Hickok45 and Jon! I've been watching your videos a waaaaaaaaay long time ago using diff accounts and I'm still here! Greetings from the Philippines. Big fan!
First exposure to the gun, and the round, was when this model came to Maine... I had the pleasure of putting a few mags through it, alongside my CZ 52, and 1911. I found the recoil to be light, especially for how snappy the round is, and in soft targets... Pumpkins, cucumbers, basically whatever my friend brought out, that was fit for the compost pile... I'm soft targets, it was devastating. Cans and boards, it neatly pierced... 15 years later, I still would love to have one!
Longtime fan of the channel but on this we part company. I've carried an FN five SeveN for several years (7+) and have come to think of it as the perfect pistol. Recoil is nearly non-existent, magazines are high capacity, accuracy is amazing and it's incredibly lightweight. What else is there with the possible exception of some personal, subjective preference. I've carried a lightweight commander, a P229 and an HK P7. I still own them all and love each one for different reasons. But I find the five seven simply a superior handgun. Still love the channel. Mind your muzzle.
Just wanted to thank you pappy for all your hard work to entertain us! We learn many new things from you every day..👍 Must love hickok45... 💯🙏Pls stay safe🙏💯
Best pistol ive ever owned.. I picked one up for $1200 back in the day I see them go for upwards of $1400 now. If you have the money to purchase one of these buy it they are awesome pistols and we all know anything FN makes is reliable and works like it should i shot mine almost every weekend for 1yr never had a single hick up.
I like the idea and the engineering behind this firearm. I'm less concerned about the price (it's not cheap but it's also not out of the ballpark once I added up all the minor mods to my standard Glock 17), although MRSP of four figures continues to be a sticking point for many consumers. However, the central issues remain - non-standard (and relatively expensive) ammo, magazines that are automatic targets for state-level capacity limitations and the non-standard safety position (requiring serious training to establish basic muscle memory, and intensive training to obtain proficiency under stress). After-market parts (threaded barrels, various sights, etc.) are also very limited. It's a collector piece and fun to shoot, but you're better off spending the money on good training with a less sexy pistol. Thanks for the video! Stay healthy. 🖖
@@tekxmcfly6159 As more companies have produced pistols and carbines chambered for 5.7mm, the price for non-FN firearms has come down and the after-market product availability has risen. The cost of the Five seven wasn't my main concern, but rather the safety mechanism. Ruger & PSA responded to the commercial market concerns and incorporated standard safety levers or trigger-based safeties into their pistol frames while FN doubled-down with their unique approach for the new MRD. "Whatever someone wants" is an impractical and unprofessional perspective regarding a pistol that is severely handicapped by the training threshold required to compensate for its non-standard safety.
As a young man, after I did my time in the artillery, I lived on the same rural road as a DND artillery range (Department of National Defence...I'm from Canada...sorry ;) ) and was wakened most days by shellfire and automatic weapons. Now that I'm 70, I live 3 blocks from a DND rifle range and am awakened most days with automatic weapons fire. It just makes me feel young again.
To be fair, it would be a major scandal if Belgian Defensie adopted anything that is not made by FN, therefore Belgium adopting it is not saying much. Also, IIRC it was adopted around the time when NATO was trying to standardize on a single PDW cartridge, and the only other competitor was HK's 4.6x30mm. So, NATO politics might also have something to do with the adoption. That being said, the result of that NATO trial stated that 5.7x28mm was the superior cartridge, partly because of the existence of Five-seven, whereas HK UCP basically never made it to mass production. However, Germany basically said lol no, and NATO PDW standardization went nowhere. Don't get me wrong, while I have never fired it, I have a favourable impression of it. But the reality is that Five-seven was never adopted by any major military, and Glock is basically everywhere.
It makes sense when you already adopt the P90 to have the same round. The question is the reliability with the shape of the casing and the right choice of ammo. The round needs the speed, so shooting at hard targets won't do much, but it has it's place for armoured truck drivers, cause attackers now often wear vests. I personally can't own one cause it is a mere military calibre. The P90 version for civilians makes little sense without the round, the high capacity and the stupidly long barrel. The ergonomics and how shootable it is...lots of other stuff to get.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane Well, the Belgian police forces don't use Belgian guns anymore. They switched from the FN GP (Belgian name for what is called the Browning Hi-Power in the US) to Glock and Smith&Wesson guns. So it wouldn't be to surprising to see the Belgian military chose something else than the Five Seven.
@@onpsxmember Most Belgian soldiers don't carry a P90 but a FNC or FN SCAR. So they don't have the same ammo in their primary firearm and their pistols. Only certain type units use the P90 (like the medical units for example).
For now, that's a smart decision. 9mm is way cheaper, and they're everywhere. The FN FiveseveN is one of my dream guns, but the cons outweighs the pros at this moment.
@@juliannunez8430 yes, both are excellent, I love the mag capacity. FN ergonomics feel better than Ruger's, but Ruger stil excellent and I love velocity and penetration in my carry piece. What still makes me take a step behind truly is my annoyance with the price of the ammo. I can't afford, I went with a P30 in 9mm for carry and the G42 in 380 because of the size and the excellent potential for plinking, which I love.
@@juliannunez8430 Cheaper, yes, and I'm glad another manufacturer has made a firearm that uses the 5.7x28. It is an excellent round. It is better than 9mm in almost every way, only the price kills it. Personally, I find the FN Fiveseven way more aesthetically appealing than Ruger 5.7.
If there's one word I would use to describe the 5-7 it's "neat" the 5-7 to me is just a really neat firearm, it's a pistol chambered in a minute rifle cartridge and is kind of just the best of both worlds.
Hickok, i stopped following your videos a while back for no reason in particular but i just did. Now the past few days I’ve been thinking “man maybe i should get a five seven” so just now i looked it up on youtube just to watch some more vids on it and low and behold you posted this right as i started considering one, well you sir have tempted me and convinced me so thank you.
I’ve got one and love it. Took a bit of time to get use to the grip and low recoil. We always appreciate your input, sir. Passing through Nashville and headed back to Ga. I wish I could stop by and put a few down range with ya. Until the next great video
This 5.7 is my next pistol purchase but I have to go ruger for the cost...I purchased a RIA TCM22/9MM COMBO IN A 1911A2 6 MONTHS AGO I love it... thanks for reviewing these 2 pistols
I love how consistent hickok45 is, I was watching his video on the Ruger 5.7 which had the FN in it and he said the same thing about the FN's high bore axis and strange grip...except in that he said it was like picking up your kid's squirt gun lol. In this video he says it felt like a Hi-Point, which is also a riot hahaha
Hey Hickok45. I'm not big on the 5-7 either. Never had a desire to purchase one. I think most owners of this firearm were drawn to it because the round has similarities to the .223/5.56. One of my co-workers own the Ruger 5.57x28 and loves it.
The point of the safety lever being placed over the trigger is that your trigger finger should be placed on the frame exactly where the safety lever is until you are 100% ready to shoot which would be a natural motion for your finger to drop the safety as you reach for the trigger... I would think. I actually think it's kinda practical.
One thing that passed by quickly was, the weapon will not fire withiut a magazine in it. Trigger and firing pin blocks are great safety features. They help prevent many accidental firings. I have appreciated the fire pin block a few times preventing an accidental firing. Thats why i only own quality firearms.
Did this video the same day we did the Ruger 57 video. We had the mic turned up too hot that day. Sorry.

Sir! While on the 5.7 subject how about checking out an mpa in 5.7?
Question: do you feel more or less confident with a polymer pistol vs steel?
I kinda like it
Self quarantining on a $500 million yacht may be nice, but let's be honest- we would all have more fun at Hickok's place.

I have had my five seven for around 8 years. I take it out to the range once in a while. One thing about it is the weight. It is lighter loaded with 20 rounds then my gen 3 glock 19 is with 15, but it is also bulkier. My CZ shadow 2 is more accurate out to maybe 35 to 40 yards, but the 5.7 accuracy is better out beyond that, likely because of the speed, and lighter bullet weight. I also recently bought a CMMG upper chambered in 5.7 x 28 loving the delayed radial blow back design, and how clean it stays.
Imagine breaking into his house and hearing “ Hickok45 here”
U thought this was funny niccuh
@@rayburn8282 thanks dude 👍
I was in a rush the other day and couldn’t find my glock so I grabbed my 5.7(which I never carry cause it’s kinda bulky) grabbed 2 mags to go with me. Got to where I was going and while I was sitting down I was thinking “Wow I have 60 rounds on me and I can’t even tell” that being said, when you can carry so many rounds at literally a fraction of the weight it’s amazing
Couldnt find your glock?

I do love my Five-seveN. Owned it since 2013. Never had any issue with the gun, save for one instance. Stove-piped one of the rounds, but it was not the gun's fault, but the spring in the 30 round mag when you're doing rapid fire. Only happened once, and only with the 30 rounder. Had the spring re-adjusted and nothing since.
Bought an FN 5,7 a few months ago,took me a while to get used to it, now its my favourite
Thanks for the respite from "doom and gloom around the clock" television.
Ironically this gun was designed for doom and gloom. Or as they're better known Soviet Paratroopers.
Just an Idea here, turn off the tv.
Thank you fellas for all the great content over the years. I won't purchase a firearm without first hearing hickok45's opinion on it. even if I don't agree 100% I certainly respect your knowledge and insights.
Ruger can keep that 57.🐟. I’ll keep my FN.🦈
Just bought a Five-seveN, as I've always been fascinated by them. They are expensive, the ammo is expensive, but I think they are a totally fine cartridge for self defense, and with some advantages you won't get out of any other handgun. Mainly, the ability of the round to penetrate some light armors that would easily stop a typical low velocity handgun caliber. Haven't had a chance to really run much through mine, but I love the capacity and the feel of mine. It's light, holds more rounds than most alternatives, and I think the ballistic performance of it is just fine. It is known to reliably tumble, and the light weight of the rounds make them much less likely to overpenetrate than one would expect from such a fast round. Are they the best? No, but neither are the commonly carried 9mm and .45 ACP. And I'd rather have a .22 Short revolver than nothing, so one really doesn't need "the best".
Speaking of the best, the best option is what you shoot with the best, what you are comfortable with, and what works for you, in your situation. The Five-seven is a bit too big to carry on my person, but that's no issue to keep in a vehicle. My small subcompact 9mm would be the choice if I wanted something right on me, but if I'm driving, or walking through the woods, I want something full sized.
If it works for you, it's a good gun.
Been a fan a long time and I’ve always admired your honesty....the good and the bad. Much appreciated.
love my fn five seven best carry pistol ever in my opinion!! No need for big bullets to take down a human especially when you can have 21 rounds with no recoil...

@@justsomecommentchannel8602 hey ITS THE TWINSSSS
The FN57 is more reliable than a glock, which is hard to do. Because Glocks are reliable enough under normal circumstances. FN 57 is hammer fired, so it runs quite well under water, or packed full of mud and sand! The round is only as effective as your aiming. But, it can penetrate some serious stuff and reach in to vital areas. And you can put a lot of shots on target very very fast with it! No firearm is perfect for any particular individual, if you are good with it, then it’ll be a good option! And that goes for any pistol out there!

Hickock doesnt miss and let the target live to tell the tale

Never thought I’d hear Hickok say “Too many guns”
:22 definitely hit the 2 liter and the metal plate behind it
Blaspheme.
Was my first handgun i ever bought. Still to this date my favorite handgun.
I’m going to share why the FN 5.7 is one of my favorite guns. 1, reliability, nothing out there in the gun world is more reliable some guns are as reliable but not more reliable. 2, depending on the ammo you’re shooting it does penetrate body armor. You can carry 4 or 5 50 round boxes of ammo in your front pocket. Try that with some of the other calibers. 4, it’s extremely lightweight, you can carry it all day long without adding to your fatigue. That said, the only drawback is the cost of ammo. I buy bulk to keep the cost down. I once purchased 8k round at a time at $14 per box of 50. I haven’t seen that price in a long while but still hoping. Thank for you video
In my experience people who love the gun are in one of two camps. They either love the P90(or Ps90) and since the Five Seven was made as the companion pistol it fits right with the P90 in their mind. Or someone is a huge fan of the Splinter Cell games, since it was the main characters favorite gun.
There is also the third camp which is just a combination of the prior two, which is where I am
For me it was Call of duty mw3 survival mode
It Starts you off with the fn57
5.7 pistol was designed to give field medics a weapon capable of defeating battlefield armor that was smaller than the m4, which often got tossed to the side while medics went into action.
I thought it was made as a package with the P90 for a NATO contract that wanted a PDW and a pistol to go with it.
@@my9thaccount140 it was lol, idk what this dude talking about medics
@@my9thaccount140 yeah, and it was supposed to win, it went up against MP7. But Germany vetoed the vote and every NATO country went fuck it we get what we want then. No standardization in this case.
So beautiful, and so specifically gun. In Russia we have a serial prototype analog, it’s GSH-18 for special ops, but it’s not so high quality like FN Herstal of Belgium.
p.s. but thing i must say - *oh my God* - how *FAST* are bullets of Five-seven! Fantastic!
p.p.s. sorry for language mistakes..
I think you hit the nail on the head here at 13:18. What you don't like about it is what appeals to those who buy it. This would 100% be a self-defense/offense weapon for me. The extra ammo capacity, versatility, and even the extra loud noise it makes are all pretty awesome for that job.
🎯🎯
Glad this is my duty sidearm !
Not gonna lie, i got huge doubts about this one when we transitionned from HiPower (FN GP Mk.3)
The plastic look and futuristic look was unimpressive and looked weak...
10 years later, the pistol is scratched on the outside but internals looks pristine ! Reliability is top notch ! Never EVER had a stoppage/jam with this one ! (and we shoot a lot in dusty, sandy muddy,rainy, icy, sunny conditions)
Scratched plastic make the pistol look like something i found in a back alley but the rest speaks for itself !
One very point i need to mention is that sand/dust and moist goes between the layer of plastic and the inner metal core of the pistol and it rust ! We flush it with WD when we stock them for a long time but you really need to pay attention to this ! (or take the cover and dry it completely)
For spliting the gun apart, one quick tip we use to teach : but the RED DOT on the "R" of "Herstal", R for Remove
Some of our best shooters are very good at hitting things at max 250m with it !
We discovered this by "mistake" when a guy transitionned to his sidearm on a long range shooting session !

Thank you for revisiting this firearm hickok45! This is my favorite handgun of all time and it's nice to see a recent video regarding it. Hopefully the Ruger57 succeeds so more people can try firing the 5.7 cartridge (and potentially make the ammo cheaper).
I feel the FN Five-seveN is perfect for a person who wants to carry only one 1 firearm- that 5.7mm round has a very long range with less recoil & a 20x round magazine. if you are worried about the expensive ammo, you can always buy some cheap 9mm pistol to use for target practice....
Meanwhile 5.7 is the same price as 9mm currently :/
Yea right a box of fn ammo right now goes for 89 dollars 9mm not even close to that
Why practice with a nine and carry a 57. You definitely should practice with any gun your going to edc or carry
@@smok3539 I think he means just plinking at the range. I got some nice guns that I occasionally shoot but don’t want to foul up, and ammo is more $, so I bought a Glock 17 as my workhorse range tool.
Not sure why folks would buy a gun designed for shooting through armor and body armor & weak on "stopping power".
But that is just me. Here are the prices if you want this gun:
Prices:
The FN Five-seveN 5.7x28 = _$1,200 to $1,350 USD_
Now we have the Ruger 57 = around _$700 USD_
Ammo
5.7x28 FMJ 50 rds. = _$21 USD_
5.7x28 Hornady V-Max Blue SS197SR - _$26.59 USD_
Also I’m liking before watching. Anything my internet shooting companion does gets an automatic like.
I think Hickock really can’t get used to it cause he is a rage caliber shooter! He’s just old school

Local Native American, Full blooded Sioux... I am full blooded Lakota. Great to hear that you have a friend of my people. I Love your show Sir!
Love the round, just can't stand plastic looking and feeling guns personally.
This was my first gun. I bought it in 2012 and I love it. I call it a "pocket AR" because with the extended mag option it can hold 30 STANAG rounds. It's highly accurate and inflicts minimal recoil. My only criticism is the gun is large (thankfully I have a larger hand) and the ammo can be expensive depending on brand/type/time.
The Belgian military adopted it as their handgun, and also adopted the SCAR 16 as the standard and SCAR 17 as a sniper weapon
Well yeah. Fn is a belgian company. Would be unpatriotic to not use the equipment you make yourself.

I love this man so much. Always take care Hickok45 and Jon! I've been watching your videos a waaaaaaaaay long time ago using diff accounts and I'm still here! Greetings from the Philippines. Big fan!
First exposure to the gun, and the round, was when this model came to Maine... I had the pleasure of putting a few mags through it, alongside my CZ 52, and 1911. I found the recoil to be light, especially for how snappy the round is, and in soft targets... Pumpkins, cucumbers, basically whatever my friend brought out, that was fit for the compost pile... I'm soft targets, it was devastating. Cans and boards, it neatly pierced... 15 years later, I still would love to have one!
I have shot this at a FN demo. I like everything about it but the price. It shot great! Recoil feels like a 22.
Quality videos and great narration. Thanks for the stories and the shots. Good work bud!
What I'd give to have Hickocks backyard. Pretty awsome imo
That first slide rack noise was like from a movie. A perfect gun sound.
If I'm ever in a gunfight I want Hickok on my side. No, actually in front of me.
In front of you? Be careful what you wish for mate. Opponent are also in front of you in a gunfight 😁
@@bigice7184 That's why I want Hickok 45 in front of me! 😉😁
@@onwilson2 ...just not AS an opponent
Longtime fan of the channel but on this we part company. I've carried an FN five SeveN for several years (7+) and have come to think of it as the perfect pistol. Recoil is nearly non-existent, magazines are high capacity, accuracy is amazing and it's incredibly lightweight. What else is there with the possible exception of some personal, subjective preference. I've carried a lightweight commander, a P229 and an HK P7. I still own them all and love each one for different reasons. But I find the five seven simply a superior handgun. Still love the channel. Mind your muzzle.
Just wanted to thank you pappy for all your hard work to entertain us! We learn many new things from you every day..👍

THUGGLYFE OG 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾well said
Best pistol ive ever owned.. I picked one up for $1200 back in the day I see them go for upwards of $1400 now. If you have the money to purchase one of these buy it they are awesome pistols and we all know anything FN makes is reliable and works like it should i shot mine almost every weekend for 1yr never had a single hick up.
10:32 "...just what the doctor ordered."
Dang, I wish I had a doctor like that.
Ngl, that's some Resident Evil shit right there lmao. We love you Greg
I like the idea and the engineering behind this firearm. I'm less concerned about the price (it's not cheap but it's also not out of the ballpark once I added up all the minor mods to my standard Glock 17), although MRSP of four figures continues to be a sticking point for many consumers.
However, the central issues remain - non-standard (and relatively expensive) ammo, magazines that are automatic targets for state-level capacity limitations and the non-standard safety position (requiring serious training to establish basic muscle memory, and intensive training to obtain proficiency under stress). After-market parts (threaded barrels, various sights, etc.) are also very limited. It's a collector piece and fun to shoot, but you're better off spending the money on good training with a less sexy pistol.
Thanks for the video! Stay healthy. 🖖
People complain about the price...n go out n buy a Stacatto or a Gucci Race Glock for "lower recoil" and "better ergos" Its whatever someone wants.
@@tekxmcfly6159 As more companies have produced pistols and carbines chambered for 5.7mm, the price for non-FN firearms has come down and the after-market product availability has risen. The cost of the Five seven wasn't my main concern, but rather the safety mechanism. Ruger & PSA responded to the commercial market concerns and incorporated standard safety levers or trigger-based safeties into their pistol frames while FN doubled-down with their unique approach for the new MRD.
"Whatever someone wants" is an impractical and unprofessional perspective regarding a pistol that is severely handicapped by the training threshold required to compensate for its non-standard safety.
20 rounds fully loaded and it's still so light you can forget you have it
As a young man, after I did my time in the artillery, I lived on the same rural road as a DND artillery range (Department of National Defence...I'm from Canada...sorry ;) ) and was wakened most days by shellfire and automatic weapons.
Now that I'm 70, I live 3 blocks from a DND rifle range and am awakened most days with automatic weapons fire.
It just makes me feel young again.
The Belgian Military adopted these to replace the Browning Hi-Power.
To be fair, it would be a major scandal if Belgian Defensie adopted anything that is not made by FN, therefore Belgium adopting it is not saying much. Also, IIRC it was adopted around the time when NATO was trying to standardize on a single PDW cartridge, and the only other competitor was HK's 4.6x30mm. So, NATO politics might also have something to do with the adoption.
That being said, the result of that NATO trial stated that 5.7x28mm was the superior cartridge, partly because of the existence of Five-seven, whereas HK UCP basically never made it to mass production. However, Germany basically said lol no, and NATO PDW standardization went nowhere.
Don't get me wrong, while I have never fired it, I have a favourable impression of it. But the reality is that Five-seven was never adopted by any major military, and Glock is basically everywhere.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane Very interesting!
It makes sense when you already adopt the P90 to have the same round.
The question is the reliability with the shape of the casing and the right choice of ammo. The round needs the speed, so shooting at hard targets won't do much, but it has it's place for armoured truck drivers, cause attackers now often wear vests.
I personally can't own one cause it is a mere military calibre. The P90 version for civilians makes little sense without the round, the high capacity and the stupidly long barrel. The ergonomics and how shootable it is...lots of other stuff to get.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane Well, the Belgian police forces don't use Belgian guns anymore. They switched from the FN GP (Belgian name for what is called the Browning Hi-Power in the US) to Glock and Smith&Wesson guns.
So it wouldn't be to surprising to see the Belgian military chose something else than the Five Seven.
@@onpsxmember Most Belgian soldiers don't carry a P90 but a FNC or FN SCAR. So they don't have the same ammo in their primary firearm and their pistols.
Only certain type units use the P90 (like the medical units for example).
This is my fav. Been saving for it for 3 months. Should have it in 3 more months. Im so excited 😀
It's one of my dream guns I wish I carried. But the damn thing is so expensive and so is the ammo I had to stick with the idea of a 9mm and 380.
For now, that's a smart decision. 9mm is way cheaper, and they're everywhere. The FN FiveseveN is one of my dream guns, but the cons outweighs the pros at this moment.
You're not missing much. It's slightly better at penetrating a couple types of cheap flexible kevlar. But otherwise you're better off with the 9.
The Ruger 5.7 is cheaper alternative
@@juliannunez8430 yes, both are excellent, I love the mag capacity. FN ergonomics feel better than Ruger's, but Ruger stil excellent and I love velocity and penetration in my carry piece. What still makes me take a step behind truly is my annoyance with the price of the ammo. I can't afford, I went with a P30 in 9mm for carry and the G42 in 380 because of the size and the excellent potential for plinking, which I love.
@@juliannunez8430 Cheaper, yes, and I'm glad another manufacturer has made a firearm that uses the 5.7x28. It is an excellent round. It is better than 9mm in almost every way, only the price kills it. Personally, I find the FN Fiveseven way more aesthetically appealing than Ruger 5.7.
I love the FN 5x7!!! My only complaint is over penetration as a carry weapon. I guarantee if you practice, you can hit 300 meter targets with it.
If there's one word I would use to describe the 5-7 it's "neat" the 5-7 to me is just a really neat firearm, it's a pistol chambered in a minute rifle cartridge and is kind of just the best of both worlds.
here in UK we cant enjoy firearms but lve just watched this and so enjoyed your video,thank you.....

In this video he says it felt like a Hi-Point, which is also a riot hahaha
I always thought you were some weird youtuber but you are actually really amazing
Hey Hickok45. I'm not big on the 5-7 either. Never had a desire to purchase one. I think most owners of this firearm were drawn to it because the round has similarities to the .223/5.56. One of my co-workers own the Ruger 5.57x28 and loves it.
Those shots woke my family up an I had it muted😂
How would you know it was loud in the first place!
The point of the safety lever being placed over the trigger is that your trigger finger should be placed on the frame exactly where the safety lever is until you are 100% ready to shoot which would be a natural motion for your finger to drop the safety as you reach for the trigger... I would think. I actually think it's kinda practical.
Lol!!

One thing that passed by quickly was, the weapon will not fire withiut a magazine in it. Trigger and firing pin blocks are great safety features. They help prevent many accidental firings. I have appreciated the fire pin block a few times preventing an accidental firing. Thats why i only own quality firearms.
Wish I could wake up and do this everyday...but then again, what’s stopping me.
The ammo shortage lol
