Editor’s Note: The FN Five-SeveN is a full-sized pistol that makes extensive use of polymer to create an extremely light yet high-capacity full-sized handgun. Using FN's own 5.7x28mm cartridge, the Five-SeveN has an impressive range as far as handguns go.

By The Numbers
Accuracy
A better trigger would help, but these are very accurate guns and shoot flat at long distances.
Reliability
The bottlenecked cartridge coupled with a good design makes these guns extremely reliable.
Customization
Aftermarket iron sights and rail mounted accessories are all you get here.
Ergonomics
The grip is long and not the most ergonomic. The safety location is also sub-optimal.

FINAL VERDICT
"The FN Five-SeveN is a fantastic, highly underrated pistol. It has beautiful accuracy, sleek styling, and bomb-proof reliability. The downside? Both the gun and the exotic ammo are on the pricey side. However, we feel that the Five-SeveN is well worth it. If you have the chance to shoot a Five-SeveN, you should. It is unlike any gun I have ever shot and is truly a remarkable weapon." - Lexi Olsen
