I just watched this week's episode of Top Shot. I enjoy the shooting competitions a lot, but am completely uninterested in the reality show / personality aspects.

 

On Tivo, it took me 34 minutes to watch the entire episode. That's skipping all the commercials and anything not on the range, plus most of the "nomination range." I watched all the range time, practice, explanations, etc.

 

The show is great, and if you don't like the reality crap like me, record it and just enjoy the shooting competition.

 

The FN Five-sevenN seemed like a pretty cool pistol, and I'm not sure if the targets were just easier this week or what, but people seemed to have much more accuracy overall than I've seen them with any other pistols. It got me interested.

From what I've seen on youtube and such the Five-seveN is actually really accurate, with little recoil. I know Hickok did two videos on it. Neat gun. Ungodly expensive, but neat gun.

 

As for the show, I stopped watching after like the third episode of the second season. Just didn't like the scripted drama.

It's a shame you can't use the Five Seven in USPSA or IDPA - it seems ideal. Very accurate and low recoil.

 

If anyone's interested in a Five-Seven, Urban Grunt has one for sale in the Marketplace:

It does look like a cool gun, pricey yes.

 

I do know that caliber made the " do not shoot " list at some indoor ranges.

I can understand that. Ranges that don't allow rifle calibers would ban this, since it is basically a rifle round.
