Hi i was wondering if this pistol was available for import/special order

It seems to be one of the only other pistols aside from the five seven chambered in 5.7x28
Personally i think this would get alot of interest due to the fn being close to $2000 all said and done for us canadians

Thank you very much
 
A small update. According to FORT the 28 model is not in full production yet, pistol is undergoing final tests for so called "state acceptance". We are expecting to receive a commercial offer within couple weeks. They will also have to design and implement the way of limiting the magazines for us. It looks realistic to have the Fort-28 here by Christmas.

that is freaking AMAZING to hear! I'm definitely going to be following this thread with much more interest :D
 
We got an offer. They are not cheap. Projected retail price is around $1200 - $1250 CAD. Before we got into contract I would like to gauge the interest. Depending how many are interested it's a go or no go. Also if you are interested would you commit with some down payment?

looks like no interest in the pistol, we are cancelling this.

Maybe once the pistol has more history and a track record, the interest at that price will increase?
I guess it never hurts to let them know that the interest at that price is low.
 
1. Would gauging interest be better done in the general forum or at least the pistol section? Few people follow this section, I don't and the only reason I stumbled on this is that I was specifically looking for info.

2. 1200 CAD is no go compared to the 1300 USD for a FiveSeven especially with a preorder, I'd rather save a little more to get the real thing. But thanks for trying! This was definitely an interesting pistol, just not at this price point.
 
Teapot, if you were to get these into Canada do you need to have RCMP assign them FRT number? How long would that take?
 
Curious

What's the interest in 5.7x28 anyway? I mean if you're in an organization that uses the P90, ok, you want the same caliber between your pistols and SMGs, so I get that. But as a hobby shooter, the ammo is going to be crazy expensive and I've seen nothing to suggest it's going to pattern any better than any mass produced round that will cost a fraction as much.

I realize this is a little off topic, but I'm curious as to motivation.
