Anyone here own one? Pros / cons? I'm looking at it for my next purchase.

MAIN POINT OF SELLING BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS EXTREME PRICE OF WEAPON AND CARTRIDGE.

 

BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY.

 

fOR MAN WITHOUT EXPENSIVE SUIT, BIG BLACK MERCEDES, AND MASSIVE YACHT, BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH LIKE BLACK GANGSTER OF AMERICAN CITY WITH GOLD CHAINS OF LOW QUALITY AND JEWELS OF COLORED GLASS. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN USE OF BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS ONLY FOR SHOOT MAN WITH BULLET VEST WITH CARTRIDGE ILLEGAL TO CIVILLIAN, THIS MAN HAS NUCLEAR RAGE. WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN PRETEND PISTOL SHOWS HE IS RICH. IS VERY AMUSE.

 

FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR LESS COST.

 

 

 

 

but in all seriousness, expensive ammo and overpenetration come to mind when the discussion of the 5.7 come up.

They are fun to shoot, and very accurate. I have shot Tony's from TJ Sporting Arms. He brings it to Brick Armory sometimes.

Yea that's my main reason I'm looking at it, it's just fun to shoot. Ammo prices arent to bad 50rds for mid 20's (not much steeper than 45 prices).

quite a novel gun. If you really want one, get one, but shoot it first.

 

I love the round, and it being the same caliber as a PS90... what I dont like about it... in NJ, you are stuck with 10 round mags for it, as the standard capacity is 20. No one makes 15 AFAIK. Furthermore, I personally dont like the plastiky feel of it, not for a gun that goes for nearly 1k.

+1 on plasticky feel. And I am a Glock guy.

i'd like to check one out. could be fun. I always read about over-penetration, expensive rounds, this and that. What about "fun factor". I shot a Desert Eagle 44 Magnum. Who cares how unpractical that was. It was a blast (literally and figuratively) to shoot

Maks brought up a good point. In NJ you cant even have 20 rounders, which is one of the big selling points of the gun.

The biggest drawback I find to this gun is that it being largely plastic, and therefore very light, it's hard to hold on target like you may be used to with a "normal" handgun.

 

It is a lot of fun to shoot. It has low recoil and throws brass crazy far for a pistol. Ammo cost is being overstated, a box of 50 runs + - $20, not absurd considering what you can spend on other calibers.

 

If your looking for something different and have $1000 to spend, it's not a bad choice.
