Drug cartels and Belgium Air Force Pilots. I like the gun, I plan on getting one eventually.
So, which are you, a Belgian fighter pilot or a cartel member?
Just joking, I'd like one too, but I'm more interested in the concept rather than the pistol. I think bottle neck pistol cartridges are cool, I like shooting pistols long range. I saw the 5.7 and thought it would be great, but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for.
I'd like a .224BOZ or some kind of wildcat like that that encourages handloading. 5.7 is too proprietary for me. The BOZ is too at the moment, but all it will take is someone here with a few bucks and willing to introduce a conversion kit for 10mm pistols with slightly different dimensions in the chamber.
Price of the FN is due to it being unique, no competition, and low cost. It should be selling for closer to $500 like their 9mm's, which actually cost more to make. They'd still make a profit. But if you are in the market for a pistol like the 5.7, who else are you going to consider at the moment? Thus the price. A BOZ upper for a G20 would be awesome, but they don't seem to want to sell parts. If I had the gear, I'd try loading a 10mm brass with a 6mm bullet using a 6" bbl. to see what I could do.
I may get one some day I suppose though... I do have a very nice Smith and Wesson 1006 10mm pistol I'd trade for one since I have two now. Otherwise it has to wait.
