FN Five-seveN. Came with 3 mags and I bought all the ammo they had in stock for it (~ 350 rounds). Practical? Aw, hell no but I'm beyond "justifying" my firearm purchases with myself. This one I got . . . . just because

No you did-int

That there is a fine looking pistol!

 

[NativeTexan]

Well, you can always justify any gun purchase with the "investment" angle. I always said the "precious metal" I invest in is cold steel.

Like Larry Potterfield says, “How many guns does a man need? Just one more.”

What self control, waited until the last few weeks of the year to get your vanity pistol. I have yet to shoot one of those fireballers, bet it will be loads of fun. Let us know how it goes.

Nice acquisition, congratulations!

 

[GhostHorse]

Oh, very cool! Can't wait to hear a range report! Congratulations!

 

[Bruntson]

That's a mighty find piece you got yourself!

FN makes some really nice guns! Congratulations on the Five-seveN.

I've always liked the Five-seveN, it's just a cool pistol. If they weren't so expensive, I would have most likely gotten one by now.

I often wonder how well it would have performed, had it been adopted by NATO forces as a replacement for 9mm Luger as planned in the past. If nothing else, it would have been nice to see more guns chambered in 5.7x28 FN as a result.

Very cool pistol! Congrats! Now you just need the, what is it, PS90 carbine that uses the 5.7 ammo?

 

[Steyr]

I have to side with Vanity. It is a decent functional Firearm......(STOP) hurt feelings, admin edits possible ban/removal from site.....Enjoy I hope it is more than the "SAFE HANGER"

 

[RScottie]

Very nice!

Congrats on your new slide gun. Merry Christmas.

Yeah, don't think I haven't thought about it. Not a fan of bull pup design but this is the Carbine that spawned the development of the pistol. Maybe Henry will pick it up in their lever lineup like they are doing with all the other odd calibers.

NICE!!!! You've become old enough to stop justifing why you got this or that! I can't wait till I'm there too!

 

[texastaurusguy]

Very nice, and they're so vilified by the media, that I would definitely own one. Congrats !

 

[BangBang]

OK, help me learn something here. Just what is a vanity gun?

I also have an AR 57 and it is a nice rifle. It is accurate and fun to shoot. I guess the only downside is that it is heavy....

Good luck with your new gun and shoot safe.

You'll recognize it when you see it. Our last son graduated from college yesterday and, as a result, he moves from part time to full time with the state of Ga (auditing and accounting) starting tomorrow. Now all 3 off the payroll, house and truck paid off! It's ME time now - something I haven't had much of since 1985 when our first was born and I was just starting my last year of Med school.
