In case you're interested, my brother (in LE in Texas) organized a demo with an FN rep for some fellow Police Chiefs and was really impressed with the Five -Seven saying "The five-seven didn't kick at all, you could fire as fast as you wanted and still be on target."
His favorite was the P90 on full auto though... lucky bastard.

i have fired the five-seven in vegas at the gun store http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com/rental.htm
i fell in love with it right away. they also have a number of full autos, if you ever go to vegas check it out.
cool! can anyone recommend a go retailer in Calgary?

Yeah, good luck fnding ammo for it though. I would be alot more interested if it used Nato sized ammo.
I have one in transfer from questar.ca (site sponsor).
Last I heard he said there was still one left @ $1399 + shipping.
I dont think the gun itself was ever considered prohib, it was always the AP ammo that was originally intended to be used for LE and Military.
FN has a separate division in the US called FNUSA www.funusa.com (go figure) they currently make a few rounds that are classified as sporting rounds. Mopar guy (forum member) currently has a P90 on order I believe, and has been approved to bring in some 5.7 ammo. I am working on a lead here in Canada that has 30,000 pieces of brass that he wants to sell. I also found some ammo at a place in Saskatchewan for $69.99 per box.
The ammo is around, as I was told... you just need to find it.
In the end I am going to load my own.

It seems like everything that makes the Five Seven special becomes moot in Canada.
AP rounds are a no go.
20 Round mags are a no go.
Take those two factors away from the Five Seven and what are you really left with?
I'd still love to have one but it'd be lower on my list than guns that one could own without compromising the spirit of what they're all about.

BS.... as far as I know, they first thought the FN57 was prohib because of the 20rd mag. I've owned one for a couple of years, and the only problem the dealer that sold it to me was with the mag, not the pistol or the ammo.

If it fits in a commonly availible handgun or revolver it is illegal. I believe the round for the P90/5-7 was named as a handgun cartridge in some law.
you know that the last post before yours was on 04-16-2008.... 5 years ago.
but, on the flip side, for your first post it shows that you can use the "search feature" that not many people seem to know how to operate, so I gotta say... good for you!
