So I'm at the range today....
I shot the firearms I brought and had an enjoyable outing.
Saw alot of weapons and talked with some other shooting enthusiasts.
I'm about finished and the guy next to me brings out a FiveSeven. He proceeds to smash a host of clay pigeons he had set out. (Lots of folks shoot clay pigeons instead of paper targets at this range for some reason?)
Seeing my envious glances, he offers to let me shoot it and I jumped at the chance.
I offered to let him shoot my Colt Python.
The FiveSeven is light, has a funky look, but feels good in my hands.
Shoots great with very little recoil. And was very accurate.
I asked if he paid 1000 or so and he said no, 800.
How much is ammo I ask?
$20 a box. This was blue plastic tipped hollow points. 5.7 X 28mm.
I have to say, after shooting it, I am more than intrigued. With any new caliber though, unless you are going to reload, you have to wonder if the company is gonna pull the plug and you'll have a fine weapon with no way to get ammo.
The Five Seven shoots the same ammo as the PS90 and Impact guns has a combination package where you get the PS90 and the FiveSeven for about $2600.

I hope I don't see this guy at the range anymore. If I shoot that FiveSeven anymore, I may end up buying one.
