Several women I know carry FiveseveN's in their purses and seem to love them. Little or no recoil and a high round count is apparently important to them. The ammunition is very expensive; but nobody seems to care. A local gun shop owner who can carry anything he feels like has been carrying a FiveSeven for the past several years. He's also very fond of it. I've held, but haven't shot it. It feels good in the hand, and is very lightweight. (I guess I don't have to tell you what pistol did so much damage at Fort Hood, TX - Right!)
it is a good and reliable firearm, if it is worth buying depends upon what you need it to doIs it a good firearm that is reliable and worth buying
those must be some HUGE purses!Several women I know carry FiveseveN's in their purses and seem to love them.
ADDED: There is still a high demand for the original SS190 ammunition. Some people (LE) seem to be able to get it; everybody else (civilians) are only able to purchase the blue-tipped, SS197SR ammo. The most common complaint I've heard is that SS197SR is a glorified 22 WMR; but, in all honesty, I think it hits harder than that. It's a fast moving little bastard of a 40 grain bullet, and zips out 'a the muzzle at over 1,900 FPS with 340 FT/LB of energy coming at ya out of a barrel that's less than 5 inches in length. That's fast; and an identical weight 22 WMR bullet fired out of a similar length barrel will NOT do that.

I'd suggest that some of you guys get off the male chauvinist kick! My (former) sister-in-law is a State Police detective. You should see what she carries inside her Galco purse! (Scares me!) My wife, also, carries a large pistol in her shoulder bag; and my wife handles a pistol better than most men I know. The wife of a recently retired local gun shop owner, as well as the current girlfriend of a police sergeant we recently had dinner with, both, love their FiveseveN's. I carry, and have carried for many years now, a Glock Model 21 on my belt; but that doesn't cause me to ASSume that men have a monopoly on carrying either heavy, particularly useful, or full-size handguns. WE DON'T!
Geeze guy--get a life. Many women, believe it or not, have small hands and the grip alone is a closer in not having one. I know this for a certainty. Kindly remember we have, 24/7 belts, pants, pockets that can easily CC--not so 24/7 for ladies. Believe it or not, many women may actually go out on the town dressed to the nines with a small purse to boot--and not their "glock purse". If this is male macho, pigs fly.
Have one. Love it. I have some problems with my hands that are affecting my grip. I have large hands and the grip on the FN is large enough that it is easy to handle. The safety is a little weird until you get used to it.
They (FN) dropped MSRP on their BLACK striker models. Everyone raves about the HK VP9 (never shot one) but on paper, it seems too large to conceal. I do like the Sig P320 (wishlist firearm)...I'm happy with my G19.you would think the fact that its a plastic hand gun would keep the cost down. Crazy how much fn and hk price guns at.
