This pistol is ideal for me in my country Jordan, because we’re limited in number of pistols to own😢 just 2pistols, and 2 rifles only, so the more versatile your firearms the better it is

Officer: sir, you have 4 pistol calibers. Clearly you are in violation of the law You: but officer, it's the FK BRNO Officer: mmmm, never mind then. Carry on 😅😅

[@CntBckt]

Getting your hands on a T/C Contedner could be another way to work with that as well. Swapping the barrel can change the cartidge, or even switch from pistol to rifle. That's assuming a single shot works for your needs, though. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the review of the Compact version of the PSD! I was lucky enough to have bought one of the original full-sized PSD's before they were distributed by IFG and love shooting it. The biggest issue was getting ammo at a reasonable cost as I had never heard of Tascosa. Their prices are almost half that of IFG (and other on-line sales sites) so they will be getting my business. Thanks for the tip!

[@Subgunman]

I can appreciate a firearm that with a simple barrel change can handle different ammunition. A perfect SHTF firearm. Spec ops have been issued the FN firearms utilizing the 5.7 ammo. Those blue tipped rounds will rip through two layers of level 3a ballistic panels. It will also penetrate the new ballistic helmets with no issues.

​@@NOLES-kl4ftwhose?

[@statictech7]

If 357sig didnt catch on i would be surprised is this round does. Its very similar.

[@justinkase1360]

I'm not sure that they mean for this to "catch on" as one would a mass produced cartridge, but who knows. The 357sig is a great round but not really a competitor to 7.5 FK. The closes round to being competitive might the 9x25 Dillon, if it were loaded to match. The 10mm is very close in terms of power, but it's not necked down do it can only match typical pistol ranges. TO me, the FK is more meant to be able to reach out longer than standard ranges and retain more energy while doing so. Wasn't the claim "10mm power at 100 yards" or something? I can't remember. Anyway, ammo price is like boutique loaded 10mm price. So, not a cheap round to shoot, but you can shoot other rounds in the gun.

[@adonian]

I’ve had a 357sig for 20+ years, no problems finding ammo. Just got 3 more boxes this weekend, along with 10mm and .22tcm9r (that’s rare ammo 😂).

The compact is spot on! Gorgeous and in a size I like and would actually buy. This is what companies should be doing with 40sw and 357sig in full power loads.

So would you do me a favor, 🤨field strip both FK's and see if the barrel of the full size will fit in the C model along with the full-size magazines.🤔 My reason for asking is I have the full size one with all the conversions 10mm, 9mm and lots of extra mags and would consider the C model if my existing full-size parts will interchange. Thanks Sir in advance!!! 😉And yes, I am the guy with a 6- and 8-inch barrel for my G20 so it sticking out, will not bother me!!!🙄 In Idaho!!!😎

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

Hands up higher, both thumbs foward always gets rid of recoil for me. I used to hold like you did in this video, one hand over the other. Both thumbs foward, up high on the frame/slide, and it nearly takes away any recoil. If you have smaller hands or are uncomfortable holding it this way, get a gas peddle. This thing is pretty cool, but most glocks do the same thing with a simple barrel swap/extractor. Thanks for the vid

[@gomergomez1984]

I bought a new in box CZ-75 in Germany while stationed there and the plastic grips were marked BRNO instead of the current CZ, but those grips cracked and I replaced with rubber grips thinking I could find replacements later on. Long story short those Brno marked grips seem impossible to find anywhere now but the gun keeps going on.

Definitely a cool one to consider, having the multi caliber option is pretty desirable. Been eyeing a Taurus Executive grade that comes with the 2 cylinders which I'm sure you're aware of. I think having 9mm in a revolver is pretty cool. Also been eyeing the 629 though so I don't know. I could get the Taurus along with LOK grips with ammo under the price of the 629 but it's been a tough decision as I've seen how the 629 can be customized by TKCustom with the 3.port muzzle brake. 😂

Hells yeah brother 🎯 🔫 I've had my FK-BRNO since 2020 or 2021 and it remains one of my all time favourite guns. I got the additional barrel, so mine shoots all 4 calibers (7.5, 40 S&W, 10 and 9mm). ALWAYS a fun time at the range with my FK-BRNO. Plus it kinda has a RoboCop gun type of feel 👌 I didnt know about the Tascosa ammo; i Gotta try it out for sure. Ive only used the FK proprietary rounds, which are wickid expendlsive; nearly $2 per round, yikes! However, such an amazing caliber. Im so glad other companies are making the 7.5, especially if its cheaper than the FK branded ammo. chEErs

[@saintpariah]

I've had this question for awhile. From what I have gathered, 7.5 FK and 10mm use basically the same brass. Why do the magazines hold 14 rounds of 7.5, but only 10 rounds of 10? Is there some sort of block/funnel at the bottom of the mag? What would be the point other than to promote use of the proprietary round via capacity?

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

I was very impressed when the BRNO came out with 2000 FPS muzzle. Isn’t the original internally suppressed as well? Is the C the same? FK was only exporting 1000 units a year though which sent the price way up (from what I understood). 2 barrels is a major plus.

[@onpsxmember]

If this is new out of box and ran without a hiccup I am interested. About 2 years ago no matter if 7.5FK or 10mm, it would not run reliable. Either if it was possible to reload for it or if it can take lots of real 10mm beating with a 9 conversion would be nice too. Not having the counterweight thingy is a step down. Could be quite interesting for bear country and handgun hunting where possible. Would be nice to know how much velocity is lost in this form.
