Well, I got my 5-7 handgun Saturday - put 200 rounds thru it. It's sure an expensive eater.
Anyway - I did have to adjust the sights a tiny bit. But, after I had it dialed in where I thought it should be, I benched it on sandbags, and it shot right in the bullseye.
I need to keep practicing with it - like I had to with my USPc. At 5 yards, I hit the bullseye great. At 7 yards, my groups open up a few inches. But, I'm still learning the trigger.
I shoot no other handgun better than my P99 - so I judge pistols by that standard. I still shoot my P99 the best, but the 5-7 shoots as accurately for me as any other gun I shoot. So, I am satisfied.
Everyone talked about the low recoil - so I expected it to be a tad over a 22 in recoil. Actually, it's almost about the same recoil as a 9mm. And wow - there is a flash out the front - especially with the FN 195 ammo :)
Anyway - I have a new nightstand gun. I like the rounds lack of penetration thru several household walls. That's why I sucked it up and got it. Very nice to have the rear adjustable sight too.
Nice gun!!!
