I have 3 permits coming. I want to pick up a revolver, a .22, and i cant decide on a third. The 2 choices i kind of set my mind on are the Glock 30 or a FiveseveN. I know they are completely different guns but i want another tupperware gun. Thoughts?? Any advice is apprciated.

I would go with the Glock 30.

 

1. You can use full size 21 mags in it.

B. If you ever decide to sell you would probably get a taker quicker for it.

4. Price of ammo is comparable online...you might have a harder time finding it in shops.

FN 5-7! why? becuase its awesome

 

just be sure you have a place to shoot it.

Shoot both first before you buy.

If your down s jersey area you can try my FN 5.7.

I'm curious why the 30? Do you want to have the ability to CCW it? If so, that's fine. I don't have a 30 but you are welcome to shoot my 21SF. I went for the full size since I have the G19 Gen4 to CCW IWB. The G21 I can carry in the shoulder holster.

I've shot a plate size target (bench rest) from 50 yards with a FN 5.7. Something that is tough to do with my Glock 34 in 9 mm... and I'm sure tougher with a Glock 30.

 

Try to shoot both first before making a decision. Even though they are both "plastic" guns, they do handle differently from the ergonomics and ammo characteristics.

Do they make 15 round mags for the 5-7? or are you stuck with 10 since you can't use the 20?

10 or 20 only plus a mag extender

so outside of NJ it can hold 30 rounds

Buying ammo has never been a problem.

Thank you for the offer and i have already shot the 5.7. I really like the pistol but i have a hard time seeing what i will use it for besides going to the range once in a while with it. After shooting it i can say it is one of the funnest guns i have shot. The reason it is a toss up between that and the G-30 is if i get the glock i will use that for ccw in florida when i go down and when we can ccw here in jersey. i do have a g-19 i can use to ccw until i get the funds to buy the g-30 but witht he wedding and new house it might be a while.

 

thanks again though

five-seven... MMMmMmmmM... That's on my shortlist.. If you choose that let me know how much it set you back... spending all my dough on high end handguns is gonna kill my bank account eventually.

I had the fiveseven and sold it.

The 10 round limit killed it for me.

Blast to shoot, though.

Would love a five-seven however I would like to get my 45 ACP 1911 first!

Can't you get the mags pinned?

If it were a choice between those two, definitely go with the 5.7. Just a blast to shoot.

At the time, no.

I dunno if anyone provides the service now, I'm not sure.

 

I would definitely buy again, though.

I've shot my friend's FiveSeven and its a great gun, problem is you're limited to 10 round mags in NJ and the ammo itself is expensive.

Not much different from having a single stack .45 so its not too far of a stretch to be tolerant of a 10rnd pistol mag if they cant pin the 20s.

I recently purchased a Glock 30SF (Short-Frame, with a reduced back-strap to fit my hand easily)... Friggin love it... Compact but fits the hand well.

If you go with the Five Seven, one day when you're living in a free state you'll be able to carry 60 rounds with a loaded gun and 2 backup magazines. Imagine the possibilities.

I've been looking at the 5.7 also, I've always thought of it as a novelty gun for some reason but from what u guys are saying about it I'm more interested in it. I haven't seen it for under a thousand and I was wondering if anyone has seen it for cheaper?

even gunbroker.com shows the cheapest at $976 NIB. I would buy one used probably because it would be an "every now and then" gun because of the ammo cost and availability. Gotta be that OD Green though.. damn that color scheme looks good on that gun.

5.7 x28mm FNH SS197 V-Max 40 Grain (50 round box) 2034 fps $19.95

5.7x28mm FNH SS197 V-Max 40 Grain (50 Round Box) 2034 FPS $19.95

 

This makes me happy.. Gotta find a used one for a little less than the grand it sells for though.

I saw on another forum someone saying they purchased theirs brand new for $700, the post was maybe a year or two old and was purchased in Texas. Could the market have changed that much in two years? I can't see a gun being that much cheaper just because it was in Texas

I got mine for around $ 900 a few years ago , todays prices are $900-$1050 new
