The Brand New FN Five-seveN MRD

[@Sniper061]

About fifteen years ago, I purchased an FN FiveSeven. I wanted a good solid pistol with relatively high capacity, decent 'stopping power', and something that just felt natural to shoot. It ticked all the boxes and definitely wasn't a hipster gun. That thing was a nail driver out to at least fifty meters and was by far the most comfortable pistol I had ever shot. I took it all the way out to 150 meters on a couple occasions firing from a bench. Something I could never do with another pistol. The thing was designed from the ground up to be an amazing pistol. I did end up selling it simply due to the cost and availability of the ammunition. Traded it in for a 45 that, while reliable and relatively cheap to run, was nothing like the sports car it replaced. That was a mistake that I actually regret and I wish I could get my original pistol back. Getting a new one is on my list and I to be able to get it soon. Yeah its expensive but I've fired probably close to 300k rounds at the range and it was by FAR the best pistol I ever shot. Super comfortable, accurate, and after doing only an hour of training with the index safety, it is completely second nature. I think I picked up on it by my second or third magazine it was so natural.

[@nathangiambattista6652]

Well put. I’m in the market and have been shopping around. Just trying to get a lot of different perspectives on this firearm.

“Decent” stopping power?

[@Sniper061]

@@christiandonis1881 It trades mass for speed. So when it hits it will cause more of a small rifle round wound cavity than a pistol round wound cavity. Much more damage to hard organs like the heart, liver, and muscle tissue than to soft organs like the lungs, intestines, etc. Ammo is also important. The blue tips from FN are good for target shooting but not much else. FN intentionally underloads that ammo. If you want defense rounds, there are good ones out there like Vanguard, Elite, or Speer. Performance from those is easily similar to 9mm with some loads being similar to 10mm.

Had a student shooting a 5.7 in a class I taught and I noticed that at the 3 yard line the target had little round holes and keyhole looking slots. It dawned on me that the bullets were going through the 20 inches of rubber blocks that make up the backstop, hitting the steel plates behind that and bouncing back at the shooter. Had to put a stop to that fast. Noone was injured but we no longer allow 5.7s on the range. Same with magnum loads in .357 or .44.

[@leroyjenkins4811]

I’m not really in love with the gun and I’m not really in love with the round. The round was made to penetrate armor and be a personal defense weapon round. You either get a full metal jacket round or you get that blue tip sporting round. The sporting round we get as civilians is neutered and ineffective compared to the armor piercing green tip military and police round. The sporting round doesn’t expand and it doesn’t behave like a hollow point. It behaves like a full metal jacket, cost even more, and is even less available. Unless you’re shooting the armor piercing round against armor, the whole thing is kind of a waste. It’s really just an expensive form of larping really. If you want one for you collection that’s cool but carrying one of these for self defense could be trouble. Since the blue tip sporting rounds behaves like full metal jackets, there could be collateral damage. Regular ‘ol hollow points from your 9mm would be more effective and cheaper. You can actually find them wherever you buy ammo too.

Safety? "I hate it!" However, I'm glad you said you had decided to get over yourself and come to terms with it! Well done. To me that suggests you're able to accept (or at least live with!) new ideas. It's interesting that new shooters have NO difficulty with the safety! That means one must be aware that we all (even me!) have a tendency to want to "have the new, as long as it doesn't tamper with the old!". So, with that in mind, I have to get over myself as well! The more I look at the MRD, the more I can see the "new beauty" in it. It particularly like the fact that the front end is "sloped", not cut off at right angles like the iconic Five seveN. The sights treatment is, for me the kicker! That will almost definitely have a positive impact in the market. As you say it still shoots the same, capacity is the same so FN are prepared to keep what works well, and adapt things that will help it to work better. That's why they are still such a huge player in the world Industry!

Colion I am a huge fan of your channel and contents on gun ownership in general. Your views on the subject are ALL spot on. I especially like the your focus on education of how to use a firearm. You are right on with the idea of focusing on educating the ownership public instead of imposition of more restrictions. My sons and all three of my grandsons have been brought up with guns and because my hands on instruction with them over the years, I am fully confident of their safety orientation and respect for guns. They knew from a very early age not to touch my guns unless I was with them. All they had to do is ask me to go shoot with them and I did. Gun education is the key and I completely agree with you about requiring it if you have the gun in your possession outside of your home.

Aside from the unique ammo, I've never even considered the 5.7 because of how fugly it is. This new one looks pretty slick. I'd actually consider it. Still a bit iffy on the ammo, but I'm far more inclined to get that over the old one

[@TacticalToolbox]

Never been this early before

[@roland1901]

Bro you are literally the coolest guy I know thank you

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

FN: Lets make a Pistol that incorporates the same round as the P90! Ruger: Lets take a page out of FN's book but update it and make our Ruger-57 so it can accept various optics via plates we can develop. FN: *surprised Pikachu face* ........ wait a minute..... FN: Releases a new generation of the FN that allows optics to be mounted to it. 😄

[@GunsNGames248]

ruger still better

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

@@GunsNGames248 They both have perks.... the Ruger is slimmer.. so works better for shooters who dont have bear-paws. the FN (i think even the new model?) is slightly thicker, so people may like it more. There's a few other differences in them as well.. most of them minor, but enough that people may favor one over the other :D Personally i love my Ruger-57.

[@MoneyShot127]

Colion and Garand need to do a video together. . . Mainly because I feel that they would make an epic beginning montage together.

[@johnkaraphillis754]

Going to stick with my 509! FN definitely builds quality firearms

[@robertsims9201]

Me too. love my 509C tactical

[@bobbie4862]

If there is one gun that begged for a red dot...this is it. Perfect cartridge/platform to utilize the benefits of a dot.

[@catman4x466]

Been waiting for this one , ouch my wallet is already crying 😢

[@lesliepage3886]

I have a 509 tactical that I really like. It’s my first FN.

[@killacoiler1707]

The problem I have with the Five-7 is it is a niche round. It is arguably one of the most accurate out of a pistol with tremendous speed but, it does come at a higher price and is harder to source. The biggest problem with this is there are literally only 3 firearms that are chambered to run the round making it so that it is not very mainstreamed. I put it in the same category as the 22TCM, 7.5 Bruno, and Federal's new 30SC. They are impressive in ballistic performance, accurate, and provide a capacity advantage over similarly performing rounds of larger calibers. The problem is the demand for them is very low making it difficult to obtain at any local ammunition retailer. It does not make them an inferior choice for defensive purposes or equate to a poor carry choice if one is set on owning these. I just prefer something that is universally and readily available.

[@carbon8ed]

The market for 5.7x28 guns is expanding rapidly. FN, CMMG, Diamondback, Kel Tec, Ruger, and Palmetto State are all currently producing guns chambered in the cartridge.

[@killacoiler1707]

@@carbon8ed i had heard that Keltec was playing around with the 5.7 but I did not know about Diamondback, PSA, and CMMG had Irons in the 5.7 fire. It is a very capable cartridge that has several benefits one of which is capacity. I just hope that as popularity increases more ammunition manufacturers will tool up and force competition which usually drives prices down. I think that you will find the same to be true of the new Federal 30SC round. Currently S&W is the only one making a firearm chambered using the cartridge much the same way FN was the only pistol chambered in 5.7 until more recently. It like the 5.7 offers a capacity advantage that makes the micro market capable of retaining its current size profile while offering full size magazine capacities.

[@carbon8ed]

@@killacoiler1707 CMMG and Diamondback are both making micro-carbines, CMMG has versions of the Banshee and Dissent in 5.7 and Diamondback has the DBX-57. PSA just recently released the Rock which is another full-sized handgun just like the FN and Ruger offerings.

[@killacoiler1707]

@@carbon8ed I do not follow the carbine market much only pistols so that is my bad. I prefer shotgun for home defense and compact or micro pistols for concealed carry. To be honest, I am considering an M&P Shield Plus Performance Center in the 30SC just to give it a run side by side with my 9mm. Right now the ammo is a bit pricey but I have a feeling if the caliber catches some traction that more companies will start tooling up for it and it will drop in price. The idea of 16 rounds in a stack and a half micro pistol is kind of enticing. Current ballistic reports place it on par with 115gr 9mm. Which is in my opinion the minimum standard for EDC defensive rounds. I do prefer a heavier round. I run Fort Scott Submunition 125gr TUI as my current defense ammo and it is a phenomenal performer. I understand the 30SC is a bit lighter coming in at 100gr but it is moving a bit quicker and hits with almost the same muzzle energy as 9mm. I am not apprehensive about its effectiveness as a defensive caliber at all. As a Forensic Psychology grad student I have studied many statistics and to this day .22LR holds the top slot for the most common caliber resulting in civilian deaths. The 5.7 if they could scale down the size of the firearm would also be a viable concealed carry with decent capacity; however, IMO the current iteration is better suited to a duty rig in open carry. I wonder if we will see the 30SC adopted as a PCC caliber? I would imagine that it would make for quite an accurate and zippy round out of a 12 to 16" barrel with some pretty impressive ballistic stats.

[@bahamut458]

Finally someone answers the gen 2 mags in the MRD question. My loading up on the old mags before state law changes will not go in vein!

[@callen6893]

Still surprised FN hasn’t brought out a 5.7 compact.

[@ruhidmohamad]

Would kill the performance of the round

[@EliteAmmunition]

Yep won't work, the round has a very tight window for optimal performance when it comes to barrel length. This is why velocities are so much lower with the PSA Rock even though the barrel is just slightly shorter then a standard FsN barrel.

[@callen6893]

Didn't know that. Thank you for the education.

Thank you for taking the time to show us the guns you do there awesome unfortunately I live in California we can’t get a lot of these new hand guns because of the stupid California hand gun roster we have here hopefully that will end soon thanks to the supreme court’s decision in the New York case but I doubt our Dictator Gavin will allow this .

I think it looks sweet! I’m a fan of the original and actually on two of them. Hopefully I will see this new version locally, but I’m not holding my breath. Thank you very much for the video.

[@j.r.777]

I love the FN Five-seveN! I have the MKII and it is one of my favorite guns that I own. But you need to use the right ammo to get the appropriate performance out of the gun. Either the FN SS90/SS190 ammo or the Elite Ammunition T6B or Devestator ammo. I personally prefer the T6B ammo. My only dislike about the gun is that it won’t fire a chambered round if the magazine is disconnected. But Jay Wolf from Elite Ammunition knows how to upgrade the guns and delete that feature!

[@EliteAmmunition]

I agree with this statement. ..........

[@j.r.777]

Thanks Jay! You are truly one of the few people on this planet who I would trust with my Five-seveN!

Looks much better now, I only have the ruger 57 right now but would like the new FN

[@jasong782]

My problem is the cartridge type. 5.7x28 rounds are three times more expensive than 9mm($0.75 per round). I know it's a performance cartridge. I just wish they'd make a 9mm version for us economical shooters.

[@smokingcrab2290]

Practice with a 22 and then save your 5.7 rounds for emergencies

[@ruhidmohamad]

It can't be a five seven if it doesn't shoot the cartridge lol. FN already makes plenty of 9mm pistols

[@jasong782]

Also check out the psa rock if you haven’t heard of it. It’s like 300 bucks sometimes and is chambered in 5.7 something to hold you over till you’re ready for the fn again.

[@DarthWolfen077]

The Palmetto State Armory has the PSA Rock, which costs only $500 for the base model (600 if you want the optics/suppressor ready version with Night Sights) carries 23+1 rounds mags and looks way sexier... even better than the Ruger 57.

[@bobbycooksey1388]

Thanks for the honest review

[@gregorypatzelt6964]

Absolutely love it! Looks better than the original.

[@RogersGirl88]

If FN wanted some radically new, they would shorten the barrel as much as possible while maintaining ballistic effectiveness, cut down the grip height, and slim it down to a single stack. Figure a five seven being 3/4 inch shorter barrel and slide, with a 9 round singles stack flush, and 10 round extended mag. Smooth off the attachment rail to a sleek tubular shape. Lose the manual safety for both a back grip safety and split trigger safety. Two automatic safeties, no bulky thumb safety. Come standard with a trench on top that has a fiber optic sight sunk into the front and two in the back, flush with the bottom of the trench. In other words, from a side profile, you cant even see the sights. Just a smooth top front to back. Completely snag free, fast draw, 9+1 high velocity ammo, in a paper thin compact size frame. Include a built in transparent window in the sides of the grip to see round count at a glance.
