well me and my good friend took out his fn Five Seven yesterday at the range. before yesterday it had 50rds through it and after yesterday the rd count was up to 200rds of both the 20 something grain and the 40gr v-max. there have been no malfunctions at all.
Trigger:
the trigger was pretty light it seemed to me, and there were a few times that i was suprised when the gun went off. very nice trigger. though it is a nice trigger, it is different and something to get used to, the reset and the pull and such.
Safety:
i really like the placement of the safety, right above the trigger, where it can be used with the trigger finger. and it is ambi which is really good considering he is a lefty and i am a righty.
Mag Release:
i like the fact that the magazine release is able to be changed from one side to the other,and i was hapy to see that he moved it over to the right side of the frame which is my preference as i like to drop mags with the trigger finger.
i had to get used to the mag release being new it was a little tuff, but with a little practice it did great. and i was easily able to manipulate it.
Sights:
my favorite for stock sights, 3 dot combat sights that are rear adjustable for windage and elevation. he had it zeroed out to 25yds for a poa/ poi set up.
Shooting Impressions:
after approx 50rds of the 40grv-max:
recoil what recoil it was so soft shooting i couldn't believe it. especially when you hear the gun report, it is loud!!!! i didn't shot as great or nearly as good as i would have liked to but it was fun to shoot and accurate. my friend really proved that as he was really good with it and shot that gun better than any other that i have seen him shoot. he shoots better with that than the usp .40
Conclusion:
i like the adjustable 3 dot sights, i like the trigger, i like the reversable mag release, i like the placement of the safety, i loe how soft it shoots, and the accuracy is there i just need to spend more time with it.
the only down side is that the ammo is so expensive and the gun itself is quite pricy but if you have the money and you want one than by all means get one. i think you will be happy with it.
