FN 5.7 pistol

[micheljns]

I ordered a FN 5.7 X 28 pistol and called my lgs and said he would have it in a week! Then I seen people are asking $2-3,000 for them? Why would any one pay double or triple the price of a new one when there still making them? I guess people have a lot more $$ than me

More money than cents.... Lol

Panic buying! If it's in front of them they know they can get it for sure.

Common sense isn't too common these days.

Enjoy your Five-seveN!!! I like mine!

5 7 is an awesome pistol, i think your enjoy, i havent seen them for quite that high, but its panic buying, just look at how ar's have gone up so much, crazy,

I heard ammo is unreal for them but what ammo isn't

Just people getting scared that they won't be able to get them before to long.

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but If you ordered a FN Five Seven and get it in a week you should go buy a lottery ticket and tell me where you ordered the gun from! I've been on list at local store for two months. I've seen one come in in the last month+. Ammo is starting to surface locally but you have to buy it when you see it because if you blink it is gone. Good luck getting yours.

Just getting an M&P in a week would be a good trick. I don't think people are paying $2000+ because they are dumb. They just can't get them any other way.

It's a cool gun, but not something I would even consider given cost of gun and ammo.

finding something to put in it will be the trick. anywhere from 1-2 bucks a round right now.

rumor is (dunno how much stock i put into this, but logical considering the current climate) FN will no longer produce 5.7 for the civvy market. their ties with world wide governments run MUCH deeper, and richer.

I recently saw ammo for (are you sitting down?) $80 / 50 rounds.

I'd love to try the FN5.7 but until the ammo prices cool their jets it's out of the question for me...

Congrats on the pistol. I love mine to death, but i havent shot it lately. I only had 200 rounds on hand when all the crap went down. Havent seen any since... but with the pile of FsNs that FN sells every year, production should pick back up if this crud blows over.

500 ronds of ss198 sounds awesome, but not for $2 per cartride.

5.7 ammo is out of control. I've been seriously considering selling my PS90 because of the ammo prices. I picked it up right befor all this stuff happened and have never shot it.

 

[randygun]

any for sale at reasonable prices have 2 five sevens and two ar and about 2000 ammo and 2oo0 brass once you shoot one of these you are hooked

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^

Sold my PS90 and my FivesevN a few months back. Too expensive to shoot. Other guns are just as fun to shoot for less money.

Ammo at least starting to show up. At local Show this weekend 5.7 ammo for $38/50 rnds I stood there for 20 minutes talking about a trade and no one touched it, meanwhile bulk packs of 22lr were flying off the table at 7.3 cents/ rnd.

 

[AlphaRHINO]

I too got rid of my 5 7 awhile back because I could not afford to shoot it. I eneded up buying a plinker and stocked up on ammo for my other pistols

 

[hoosierdoc]

I heard the rumor about ammo going away in the US too. Not sure if it's true or not. You'd think someone would fill the gap though
