I'd imagine it wont go anywhere.

Did anyone else in Washington see the Seattle news last night about the great, save-the-day gun ban that is being proposed in the state? Supposedly, some guy was murdered with an AR, so suddenly they are the embodiment of evil. Anyone know anything about this, or was that just more liberal media sen...

I just joined your club too. I broke down and bought a PS90. I have owned a FiveSeven since 2004 and love it. I got to shoot a full auto P90 a few years back and have drooled over it for a long time. After trying every string pull I could find, I finally gave up on owning the real thing and settled...

090, please. Thanks.

Hey Josh, The extra power mag springs that EA sells are a little bit longer even than the 30-round mag extension springs, so I don't see why they wouldn't work, and I don't think they would have any reduced capacity problems. In other words, I have EA's extra power springs in all my 20-rounders, whi...

Awesome. Thanks, Max. :thumb:

Hey Tomac, The Fobus holsters are pretty decent holsters, and are super cheap compared to other brands. If you're left handed, you're out of luck, though. That's why I don't use a Fobus for my FsN's. http://www.fobusholster.com/index.php?p=compatibility_chart&manufacturer_code=FN" onclick="window.op...

Yeah, Max. But those are the only pics I've seen, and usually like to gather as much info on something as I can, from multiple sources if possible. I was just wondering if any of the big gus on here had their own pics I could trust little more. Unless everyone does it like the guy on the other forum...

Thanks, Fuzzy.

No, I have nothing to do with the company and have never bought anything from them, just got some secondhand info:

http://www.promotedpawn.com/products/6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There is another company that makes side rails. Supposedly, they have better customer service, and decent products, although I have never dealt with them.

I don't know the specific rules of citing companies on here, maybe Fuzzy or someone can chime in.

I apologize if there is already a thread on this, but I couldn't find it. :( Does anyone have pics of where exactly the velcro goes in the ejection port? Or can someone explain it in dumb-guy terms? I found a thread on that "other forum", but it was kind of vague, and I trust you guys more anyway. T...

....How many carbines have you encountered with "decocking" levers? That's what I though, too, Wolly, but I recently read at least two reviews with gripes about no decocking lever. Can't remember the websites that I read them right now. Myself, I'm no expert and have pretty minimal experience with ...

Hey guys, This is probably another stupid-ass question, but I've heard people making PS90 reviews on other websites, and they're bitching because the '90 doesn't have a decocking lever. I know we've talked on here before about how the FsN is not hurt by dry firing, but does anyone think it would be ...

Hey RedDog or Skyweasel or anyone else from Washington state - is an SBR'ed PS90 legal here? Anyone know? I'm hearing that it's not legal, but I'd like an expert from this forum to reply, if anyone knows for sure. I'm too stupid to decipher all the RCW's. Thanks.

Sorry to hijack...

Thanks guys. I do like the EoTech's, but I don't think I can afford one anytime soon. The Burris was my next choice, and then I could switch it to my FsN when I get an EA rail mount.

Hey guys, anyone have a recommendation for a red dot sight? If you're on here, how do you like the AIM, palindari? I put a rail on top of my A1, but haven't ever gotten around to getting a sight - so right now I don't really have any way to aim the damn thing (a rail with a bead sight doesn't work, ...

I have four of these, and have never had any kind of problem. Two of them have been used a lot at the range, and two are newer, but only one time did a follower ever hang up on the lip of the extension, when being loaded, and I just pushed a little harder and it "popped" past the lip easily. I've ne...

I agree with Slippy on the first pic. The underside of my slide is the same as well. The last pic is totally normal - I use some inert rounds for "dry firing", and the rim is chewed to hell on all of those - and they are just manually ejected. The middle pic is a little hard to tell exactly what's g...

I use a Blade-Tech IWB, and it works pretty well. And they're made in WA state, where I live. Having said that, I have a Minotaur IWB holster from http://www.comp-tac.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for an XD that I like a little better - it's similar to the Crossbreed in that the...

Hey rot26, There are a lot of guys on here that are way more expert than me on the FsN, and I don't mean to be condescending, but have you shot many pistols before? The reason I ask is that, if the round is "wedging" in the area behind the breach, that is often due to "limp wristing". The only time ...

You will want to use one of the more premium lubes that is known to work in cold environments. Hopefully within a month or so I'll have some good info up on the FsN regarding hot/cold but I can only go as cold as it is outside. Yea, romer, let us know how your premium lube testing goes. :laugh: :lm...

Hey guys, Just have a quick question that hopefully some of you firearm gurus might know the answer to. I have frequently carried a gun, including the FsN, but have always had it in a holster on my belt. But, with the job I just started, I will be driving around all the time, including late at night...

Two USG's with adj. sights here as well. One I carry, and the other is a safe queen. I figure that if one goes down, I'll still have a back-up.

I have a SOG Trident. Pretty sweet assisted opener. The coil spring broke though, so it is time to see if SOG will step up to their lifetime warranty. Hey bobapunk, did you ever get Sog to put up on their warranty? I have had three Sogs, and I love them, but have never tried their warranty. Would b...

The tree on my range is a rusted-up P.O.S., but my XD .45 will swing the arms back, and the FsN (with ss197's) won't, unless I "chip away" at it by hitting the same arm a bunch of times in a row. The funny thing is, the .45 FMJ's don't leave a mark, but the plastic-tipped 197's seemed to put a nice ...

I am in no way an expert, but I have been told something to that extent as well. The source I had was a little less extreme - he recommended cleaning the bore after every shot for ten rounds and then every-other-shot for ten more rounds, for a total of twenty. I did do that on my second FsN, but not...

I got the mag this morning, and then had to leave for work. But I'll try to get some pics on here tonight. I will say that the mag, especially the extension part, does look nice- except for all the plastic molding tags, which probably won't show up on pics. But I'll get some up.

-J

Hey guys, I just received one of these from Sportsman's, since I have to try all the new stuff. I gotta say, I'm not impressed. It's the first mag for the FsN I've seen that's not produced by FN, and it shows. There are little plastic tags from the molding process all over, and, more importantly to ...

Just my opinion here - I'm only a part-time church attendee, but I simply saw this as a celebration of one of the most important institutions off all time - marriage. With all the shit going on in the world and our own daily lives, some simple things like this make all the difference. This video is ...

Sportsman's Guide has these on sale for $39.97 right now. Don't think I'll get one, though. My current extensions are holding up just fine. :D Could you post a link? Or, where on their website did you see these? I buy from Sportsman's all the time, and I've never seen them. But I'm probably just bl...

I have bought a few firearms from a web site called Clyde Armory. I'm pretty sure their website is http://www.policeguns.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I looked about three or four days ago, and they had the ODG FsN in stock, although that was their website status - I didn't cal...

I noticed when I first got mine, I sighted it in, then went to the range and put about 500 rounds through the FsN. Then after I cleaned it, I noticed the laser was off a little bit. I read the instruction sheet for the Lasermax, which says the optics may "settle" a little bit the first time it take...

That sounds awesome, Panzer! I know I would trust you guys to do it.

Thanks a lot, satellitedr3ams!

I apologize for bringing this up again, since I know it was discussed in the last few months, but I searched and it didn't come up. Anyway, what is the process for mounting a Burris or Eotech or something like that, onto an FsN? Is this something someone like me, with absolutely no gunsmithing skill...

if 12ga shells are loaded for an extended time in the shotgun, the plastic shells become crimped and lobsided due to the constant vertical pressure between the bolt and magazine. This makes feeding an issue. Also the size of the gun really isn't streamlined due to the magazine sticking out. I love ...

I agree on your observation about those shows. I just stopped watching those shows like "Top 10" "Future Weapons" "Deadliest (insert something here)" yadda yadda. The Discovery Channel and the History Channel have really gone downhill. I know you are talking about Spike TV, but there's really no di...

Okay, here's the scoop: has anyone seen that new series on Spike called "Deadliest Warrior"? It's fun to watch the weapons, but the "expert's" opinions on which warrior is better than another is usually a complete knee-jerk-reaction of an opinion, and they don't take nearly enough variables into acc...

No problem. Can't really be construed as a safety precaution, because the last rule of 'Treat, Never, Keep, Keep' is 'Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire', even if you know a gun is unloaded, it's best not to test fate. Some people do anyways. Yeah, Slippy, makes sense. Tha...

Thanks, Fuzzy and Slippy. Here I was thinking it was some kind of safety precaution or something. Oh, well, I'm dumb. Thanks. :wall:

Nice! That's about $100 cheaper than the last one I bought. :furious: I have a quick, really stupid, OT question. I've wondered this for years, but never figured it out before, and I figure this is likely the best forum to ask and not feel like a dumba$$, since everyone is very helpful on here. Anyw...

Hey Mack, I use a magnetic bore sight to sight in all my lasers and scopes. The one I have just uses a magnet to stick right to the end of the barrel, and then you just adjust the Unimax so both lasers match at your chosen distance. I can't remember what company makes it, but I got it through Sports...

The issue of Crimson Trace's battery life, or having an on off switch ot not, is missing the point. Only through numbers of requests to CT can we hope to ever get a model designed for the Five-Seven. Even if you have no desire for one, do the rest of us a favor & make the request anyway. This will ...

Just IMHO, but I don't like the Crimson Trace's myself. I have one for my Glock 22, and it works great, but, when you grip the gun, you have no choice - the laser is on, no matter what. Seems like a waste of batteries when at the range, and it's a PITA to take the thing off - the only way to get ar...

The CT grips on my wife's Smith&Wesson snubbie have a master on/off switch for the range. Yeah, after reading what satellitedr3ams said, I did a little research, and it does seem the newer ones have switches - that would be great and would fix my whole problem with the CT's. Just one of those thing...

I saw a thing the other day on investigation discovery where a guy in arizona went down for second degree murder because he shot an unarmed man that attacked him in the woods. They talked to a few people from the jury and one of the big things they said that helped sway them was that he had a 10mm ...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks father! :thumb:

Just a respectful suggestion--if you never had to testify in court- whether justifiable or not, once it is public record here that you ignore the safety a jury will hang you out to dry if you shoot someone. Hey father, I am betting you've forgotten more about carrying a firearm than I have ever kno...

Sorry, Fuzzy, I didn't type as fast as you.

At the risk of sounding like a dumbass, what is that red thing by the cleaning kit? Neither of the FsN's I have had anything red in the case...

Hey Slippy, I agree - looks kinda cheesy to me. How do we know that these are actually produced by FN? Why would they just produce 6? I'm no expert, but it would seem like it would cost a hell of a lot to make a mold - I don't think the current plastic mold would be interchangeable with SS or whatev...

I can't really answer your question, but I've noticed that every time I come back from the range, the rail screw is loose, and that causes the laser to shift slightly, and then it needs re-adjusting, just like yours. I don't know how to fix this - I'm afraid of over-tightening the screw, since its j...

I clean mine after every shoot. No matter how few rounds. If I don't shoot at all, I clean it at least once a month. Cotton from my clothes has a tenancy to find its way into the slide. My Glock 26 is worse about this than the FsN is. I clean the barrel until it is a nice shiny mirror finish inside...

I am glad you like the ProtecTORs! A little more POP then factory stuff I bet! Yeah, its was kind of like the first time I shot a .40S&W, I started with the "low recoil" SD rounds from Federal, then about got knocked down when I first shot Cor-Bon's highest pressure loads. I don't have a chrony, bu...

Thanks, Fuzzy! I guess I didn't scroll down far enough...

I've had a FsN for about five months now, but, due to the snow and the lack of any indoor ranges in my area, I just got out to shoot it this weekend. Just wanted to point out that I shot 150 SS195's (newer, blue box stuff), 100 SS197's, and 50 ProtecTORs, out of a never-fired FsN, and never had anyt...

Yeah, MO, I agree that I see no way his "treatment" could work, speaking physiologically. I'm hoping Arnie can produce a scientific citation, so he can prove us wrong. And at the least, save some shred of his own dignity and give ACTUAL evidence, other than "hey, some guys working on a bridge somewh...

Mr. Arnold, I am mostly a lurker on this and other forums, but I consider this to be one of the more fact-based and helpful firearm forums on the web. I am fully aware that many concerns have already been addressed and replied to by MO and others, but, myself being a Medical Doctor, I am very concer...

Thanks guys!

You actually should have said the varmintor was better, since I already have a bunch of protectors, and then I would have bought a ton of varmintors!

Too bad you run a reputable business!

:laugh:

I apologize of this has been brought up before, But does anyone have opinions on which cartridge is better for self-defense/home-defense? Near as I can tell, EA is using deforming bullets in both, from two different companies, and both travel about the same speed, 2080fps vs 2100fps in a FsN. Which ...

Thanks a lot, Vitaliy!

Does anybody know what size bore brush that Vitaliy is using in the video for the bottleneck end of the barrel?

Hey Everybody, Just wondering if anyone knows of any good web-based gun auction sites? I mean, other than GunBroker, that is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. (I just looked and found a guy trying to sell two USED 20-round FsN mags for $125!!!) Is the FN market squeezed so tight right now that stuff is selli...

There is a website (I'll have to find it, because I can't remember the address right now) that is selling a "ported 5.7 barrel" for about $180, and its been sold out for a long time. Maybe this is what you heard?

Thanks again

I agree, I'm gonna shoot the hell out of those 195's, while I'm waiting for my EA ammo to come in.

See, I knew that you guys would have the correct info. Thanks a lot. I'm a little worried about the shelf-life thing, which sounds like a legit worry...

Hey Guys, I have a dumb question: Where did everybody get the info that the SS195 has a lead-free primer, or is that just a prevalent urban myth? The primers on both my SS195's and SS197's look exactly the same, both are silver-colored, AND the box they come in describes the SS195 as having a lead-f...

Hey Guys, I've never posted here before, but have been lurking for a while; you guys have been really helpful in getting info on the FsN, which I think is a great firearm. The tip about the mags from Botach helped me out a lot, because I've been needing some more mags for a while. Anyway, thanks for...
