Performance 
The FN Five-seveN shoots more accurate than mt 1911 custom 45. It has little to no kickback and with the diversity of ammo available this gun is a perfect Concealed carry pistol. It has a built in rail system and I have a 65 lumen light set up on my gun.
Features
Chambered in 5.7x28mm, the FN Five-seveN USG utilizes a polymer frame and slide cover to create an incredibly light and easily maintained auto-loading pistol. Single-action operation combined with an internal hammer and highly textured grip enhance handling characteristics.
Appeal
The Five-seveN USG features a traditional style trigger guard, reversible magazine release, magazine disconnect and adjustable sights. Fixed 3-dot combat sights, either with or without self-luminous tritium elements are also available as an option.
The low recoil impulse of the 5.7x28mm cartridge is only 60% of typical 9mm loadings for rapid and accurate follow-up shots.
This pistol is light weight, easy to carry, easy to handle, yet built very sturdy.

These are one of a kind pistols.

I use this pistol as my concealed carry pistol, which I carry with me daily. It is light weight, fits into my shoulder harness and does not cause any discomfort or pain. Even if I carry it all day long. I also have a Fobus adjustible tactical paddle holster made just for this pistol, unfortunately my rail light does not fit with the fobus holster.
I have nitesiters glow dots on my gun and they work beautifully. I am waiting on trijicon to make a set of night sites for this pistol.
I give this pistol a 10, it is easy to handle, easy to shoot, the ammo is reloadable, and fairly easy to acquire. The Five-seveN is very accurate; the polymer is easy to grip and has not become too cold in the frigid cold spells where I live.

5.7x28 is a great round. the only downsides are that the pistol is uglier than shit (my opinion),ammo is expensive, and the trigger sucks... but it's built solid and it's reliable and accurate.

Ugly indeed.
