I am an experienced shooter looking for advice and opinions for A new carry pistol. Although I am very experienced my experience is mostly limited to 9mm and .45 I have shot almost every caliber out there but for the most part only a clip to a box worth I am extremely fond of my 92fs it being my favorite pistol I have ever laid my hands on but I am about to buy a new carry pistol and these are the most important factors for me
longest effective range
accuracy
concealed carry
magazine capacity
customization
right now the "fn five seven" is at the top of my list this is one of the few rounds I have never shot but if the ballistic tables I have read are correct it seems perfect lacking in only 1 respect very little customization outside serious gunsmith work I would like to know if anyone has had experience with this gun, since it will be a carry pistol and there is a chance i might have to draw it in defense if over penetration should be a concearn and any other semi-auto recommendations specifically with effective range in mind and I would like to take any Glocks out of the running I am well aware of Glocks reputation for performance and reliability but its just a personal preference I dont like the way most Glocks feel. the p229 is also being considered but as of now is way behind in 2nd place any information or opinions will be much appreciated.
