FN FiveseveN Forums - Anybody interested in night sights

FN FiveseveN Forums - Anybody interested in night sights: "Here are the pics of the night sights I promised. Sorry it took so long. Thanks to xotech for the help. This is my gun with the tripple bar tritium sights. If you are interested please call. I also do trigger jobs as well as allow the weapon to be fired without a mag inserted. Thanks.

FN FiveseveN Forums - factory powder?
Posted by Medula Oblongata:
FN FiveseveN Forums - factory powder?: "I like TrueBlue over any other powder except Viht 3N37 (for my 55grn loads). It is easy to measure, easy to handle, and when spilled on a desk, it eask to clean up. Not only that it is fairly clean and has a perfect amount of graphite on it to help with lubing the measure.
My prefered case length is 1.1345' and I try to get my OAL all the way up to 1.585'. with the longer bullets like the VMax, Nosler ballistic tip, and sierra BlitzKing, you can achieve factory length (1.585' of thereabouts). With shorter obive bullets you will have to determine your own seating depth based upon projectile length and how much of the bullet is in contact with the case throat. You must have enough of it in the case to have a uniform starting pressure. I like to make sure that my short ogive bullets are seated to the bottom of the neck, as close to flush or slightly deeper (maybe 1/500th past the neck)."

The design allows for the use of our upper on any AR15/M16 lower (note class 2 will be available from another mfg) The rifle uses standard 30 or 50 round magazines that attach to the top of the rifle, cartridges feed from the top and eject out the bottom of the magazine well.

FN FiveseveN Forums - 5.7 vs. Ballistic Vest
Posted by WB880:
FN FiveseveN Forums - 5.7 vs. Ballistic Vest: "MODS FEEL FREE TO REMOVE THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE READ WHOLE POST.
I recently tested the ss195, ss196 and ss197 on a level IIIa vest that my department issues. For my test I slanted the test in favor (As in close range) to have the rounds penitrate the vest. I shot the vests from approximately 4ft (to approximate point blank range without risking my own injury too much), but not an any odd angles all shots were head on and into the center of the vest.
The vest was secured to clay blocks like it would fit on a body and the rounds were aimed at approximately center mass of the vest.
NONE of the above ammunition penitrated the vest from the FiveSeven Handgun. Here are a few pictures from my testing and recovered rounds from the test
Front of vest removed from carrier
Rear view of vest, note that the cloth sticker was stressed and buckled from the ss195, but the round DID NOT penitrate the vest.
Recovered rounds from the vest left to right ss196, ss197, ss195
As an LE Officer I feel confident that if I am shot with a FiveSeven pistol (I hope I never am shot though, already been shot at) with any of the above ammo I am 99% sure that my vest will stop the round.
I shot 2 vests both with the same results. One vest was purchased new approximately one year ago and was worn by an officer that quit 2 months after hire. The second vest was made in 1994, by the same company. Both vests performed exactly the same.
I hope this helps that the FiveSeven is no different than anyother gun out there when loaded with any commercially avaliable ammunition."

FN FiveseveN Forums - Cases for FN PS90's?
Posted by FNMAN:
FN FiveseveN Forums - Cases for FN PS90's?: "FNH will have soft cases in about a month. These will be US made and will have mag cariers built it. They will be top quality.
If you want a hard case, I would look at StormCase. They are a much better case than Pelican and have better latches as well as being lighter."
