The Five-seveN® Tactical Pistol Delivers Total Package For Special Units And Tactical Teams
Designed to meet the needs of special units and tactical teams the FN Five-seveN® Tactical Pistol, the companion weapon to the FN P 90®, delivers unique, lightweight, ergonomic reliability to law enforcement agencies.
According to Rick DeMilt, Director of Sales and Marketing at FNH USA, Inc., "Tactical teams, special duty and patrol officers, now have a solution when confronted by dedicated, trained and motivated criminals armed with sophisticated military weapons and wearing body armor that stops conventional rounds."
"The criminal element today is highly determined, better armed and often well prepared for their encounter with the police. After studying these risks and liabilities that are associated with the rapidly changing law enforcement environment, FNH USA, Inc. has developed this handgun and cartridge system that provides officers with the required tactical advantage they need."
The Five-seveN Tactical, 5.7 x 28-mm caliber handgun, is a single-action trigger and features a delayed blowback operating principal. With an overall length of 8.2 inches, the barrel measures 4.82 inches, and weighs only 1.36 pounds with an empty magazine and 1.64 pounds with a loaded magazine. This tactical pistol also features an integrated accessory rail that allows for ease of mounting a light or laser for low light use.
The Five-seveN Tactical features a 20-round magazine with its short, crisp trigger pull, and allows for fast and accurate shooting by law enforcement. The low recoil of this tactical pistol allows for quick re-engagement of the weapon, when needed.
As an additional safety feature, the firing pin only fires when the trigger is intentionally pulled. The manual safety also can be used to block the trigger, if needed. The Polymer frame and slide cover of this pistol is ergonomic, incredibly light and easily maintained by officers. The shrouded hammer also will not catch on equipment and is protected from impacts.

FN P90® Triple Rail Delivers Tactical Innovation
MCLEAN, VA - FNH USA, Inc., a subsidiary of FN Herstal, S.A., Belgium, delivers for American law enforcement an ambidextrous weapon system for maximum versatility to meet the demands of any tactical situation. The FN P90TR is a revolutionary and quality weapon that features three Picatinny rails to aid officers in deploying a weapon built for convenience, reliability and extreme accuracy.
"Allowing the user to configure this weapon to mission requirements, the P90 TR gives maximum flexibility of weapon configuration and a wide choice of sights and accessories," according to Rick DeMilt, Director of Sales and Marketing.
The full-length top rail is equipped to take a wide variety of optical sights providing the most accurate shooting capabilities for officers. These sights can be positioned to give the correct eye relief while engaging the weapon and can be removed and reassembled without the loss of zero. This enables officers the convenience of multiple sights in both day- and low-light situations. By using a rail on the P90 TR to mount the sight, officers are able to rapidly add a night sight when required.
The two side rails allow for accessories such as tactical lights and external lasers. The use of these accessories will enhance the accuracy of shot for the officer. Accessories can be mounted on each side, or one accessory can be placed on the side that is most convenient to the user. The P90 TR is completely ambidextrous by allowing mounting of accessories to either side of the weapon.
Measuring 19.7-inches in overall length, 2.2-inches in width and 7.1-inches in height, the P90 TR has proven to be quit effective in various law enforcement situations. With an empty magazine, this weapon weighs only 5.7 pounds and is facilitated to hold a capacity of 50 rounds in the magazine. Officers are also able to choose between two firing modes: single shot and full automatic, allowing the P90 TR to be used in any number of police situations. It has a 900-rpm cyclic rate of fire and a maximum effective firing range of 200 meters.
