My brother just became the owner of a FNH FIVE SEVEN. He traded his XDM 45 for it and wanted to know if he had done good. I told him I have no experience with the FNH other than they go for $1k vs $6 or $700 for the XDM.
I carry a 1911 springfield target pistol so naturally I favor the 45 for sentimental reasons and carried one during my military career; but needless to say I am quite impressed with the ballistics of this pistol.
He states that the recoil is less than a 9mm and that he was actually hitting silhouettes at 100 yds. Normally I would be impressed but I can do that with my 45. My brother stated that the reason his friend traded it was that ammo was too expensive, but so is 45. Anyway I told him to enjoy it and warned him about buying armor piercing rounds.
Just wondering if anyone here on highroad have the five-seven pistol and how they like it. He is willing to sell it to me for $750 or should I go with a XDM 45.
