The FN Five-seven (stylized as Five-seveN) is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium.[8] The pistol is named for the 5.7×28mm cartridge's bullet diameter, and the trademark's capitalization style is intended to emphasize the manufacturer's initials—FN.[14]
The Five-seven pistol was developed in conjunction with the
Sales of the Five-seven were originally restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers, but since 2004, the pistol has also been offered to civilian shooters for uses such as
The Five-seven is currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations, including Canada, France, Greece, India, Poland, Spain, and the United States.
History
Development
The Five-seven pistol and its
- The new cartridge was to have greater range, accuracy, and terminal performance than the 9×19mm cartridge.[1] Additionally, it was to be capable of penetrating certain types of body armor.[1]
- The shoulder-fired personal defense weapon was to weigh less than 3 kg (6.6 lb), with a magazine capacity of at least 20 rounds.[1]
- The handheld personal defense weapon (pistol) was to weigh less than 1 kg (2.2 lb), although a weight of 700 g (1.5 lb) was deemed desirable; it was to have a magazine capacity of no fewer than 20 rounds.[1]
- Both weapons were to be sufficiently compact to be carried hands-free on the user's person at all times, whether in the cab of a vehicle or the cockpit of an aircraft, and were to perform effectively in all environments and weather conditions.[1]
FN Herstal was the first
In 1993, Jean-Louis Gathoye of FN filed a United States
NATO evaluation
In 2002 and 2003,
At the time, the German delegation and others rejected the NATO recommendation that 5.7×28mm should be standardized, delaying the standardization until its eventual completion in February 2021.[30][1][29] Despite this delay, both the 4.6×30mm and 5.7×28mm cartridges (and the associated weapons) have been independently adopted by various NATO countries, according to preference; the Five-seven pistol is currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations throughout the world.[1][21]
Present
At first, sales of the Five-seven pistol were restricted by
Further development of the Five-seven pistol led to the introduction of the Five-seven USG model, which was approved by the
The Five-seven MK2 was introduced in 2013, replacing the USG model.[18] The MK2 model has cocking serrations on the front of the slide, all black controls, and slightly different iron sights.[18]
The Five-seven MK3 MRD was introduced at Eurosatory in 2022, introducing the possibility to mount a Mini Red Dot on top of the slide, a threaded barrel, making it possible to use a silencer, a new texture pattern on the grip and deeper slide serrations. [32]
Design
The Five-seven is a
The Five-seven is a full-size pistol, having an overall length of 208 mm (8.2 in), a height of 137 mm (5.4 in), and a max width of 36 mm (1.4 in). The small caliber gives the barrel a length in calibers of more than 20, 58% more than a comparable 9x19 barrel. It has a stated service life of 20,000 rounds[28] and the Five-seven is noted for being very accurate.[9][20][23]
Current models of the Five-seven are
Ammunition
Particularly significant to the design of the Five-seven pistol is the small caliber, high
One of the design intents for the standard 5.7×28mm cartridge type, the SS190, was that it would have the ability to penetrate
In testing conducted by Passaic County, New Jersey Sheriff's Department, the 5.7×28mm SS190 penetrated to a depth of 27 cm (11 in) in bare ballistic gelatin, and a depth of 23 cm (9.1 in) in gelatin protected with a Kevlar vest.[28] In testing, the SS190 and similar 5.7×28mm projectiles consistently turn base over point ("tumble") as they pass through ballistic gelatin and other media, using the 21.6-mm (.85 in) projectile length[11] to create a larger wound cavity.[12][16][28] However, some are skeptical of the bullet's terminal performance, and it is a subject of debate among civilian shooters in the United States.[16]

Feeding
The Five-seven pistol feeds from detachable box magazines, but it is unconventional in that it feeds cartridges into the chamber without the use of a barrel feed ramp, having a beveled chamber only—the pistol's feeding is inherently reliable because of its use of bottlenecked cartridges.[14] The pistol is supplied with 20-round magazines as standard, or 10-round magazines for jurisdictions with a high-capacity magazine ban.[8] The Five-seven will also accept an aftermarket extended 30-round magazine, which protrudes an additional 38 mm (1.5 in) from the base of the pistol.[39] With an additional cartridge in the chamber, the Five-seven pistol has a total capacity of 11, 21, or 31 rounds depending on which magazine type is used.[8] Magazine pouches for the Five-seven magazine are available from various manufacturers.[citation needed]
The Five-seven's magazine can be disassembled for cleaning or lubrication by removing the polymer floorplate.[8] The magazine body is constructed of polymer, with steel inserts at the feed lips.[14] Unlike a conventional pistol magazine, it is a double-stack staggered-feed magazine, with a follower that has the same appearance as that of an M16 rifle's magazine, and which is loaded in the same manner: by pushing cartridges straight down into the magazine, rather than pushing them down and back.[42] This setup makes it very easy to load individual cartridges into the magazine.[14] The magazine floorplate has a slight finger spur, and four holes in the left side of the magazine body allow a convenient estimate of the amount of remaining ammunition.[8][11]
Controls
All controls (excluding the trigger) on the Five-seven USG and earlier models are grey polymer, in contrast to the black polymer frame and slide cover.
Current models of the Five-seven have an
The Five-seven can be disassembled quickly and easily, by using the left hand to retract and hold the slide 5 mm (0.20 in) rearwards, while simultaneously using the left-hand thumb to push and hold the takedown lever rearwards.[8][24] When the slide is released, it moves forward freely and the complete slide assembly can be disengaged from the frame, whereupon the barrel (and captured recoil spring) can be removed from the slide.[8] This level of disassembly is sufficient to perform thorough cleaning of the pistol, and FNH USA recommends no further disassembly except by an authorized armorer, FN Herstal, or FNH USA.[8] Reassembly of the pistol is done in the reverse order, except no use of the disassembly lever is necessary.[8]
Sights and accessories
The Five-seven has a sight radius of 178 mm (7.0 in); the pistol is currently offered with either

Variants
- Five-seven
- The original Five-seven was introduced in 1998,
- Five-seven Tactical
- The Five-seven Tactical was introduced shortly after the original slide release.[48] Aside from these modifications, the Tactical model was identical to the original double-action only Five-seven.[48] It was discontinued following the introduction of the IOM model.[citation needed]
- Five-seven IOM
- The Five-seven IOM (Individual Officer Model)MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) accessory rail, a serrated slide and trigger guard, and fully adjustable sights.[11] It also had a magazine safety mechanism incorporated into the design, to prevent the pistol from being fired without a magazine inserted.[11]
- Five-seven USG
- The Five-seven USG (United States Government)[23] model was approved by the ATF as a sporting firearm in 2004,[31] replacing the IOM model. The USG retained the changes that were incorporated in the IOM, but it had further modifications, including a conventionally shaped square trigger guard, a tightly checkered grip pattern, and a larger, reversible magazine release.[8][18] It was originally offered with adjustable sights, but starting in 2009 it was also offered with low profile fixed sights.[35] The USG model had a black frame finish with grey controls as standard, but it was also offered in limited quantities with black controls.[49] Since 2013, the USG model is no longer listed by FNH USA.[18]
- Five-seven FDE
- The Five-seven FDE (Flat Dark Earth)[18] model was built to the same specifications as the Five-seven USG, but it had a brown frame finish and black controls, as opposed to the standard black frame finish and grey controls of the Five-seven USG.[18] Like the USG model, the FDE was offered with either adjustable sights or low profile fixed sights.[18] Since 2013, the original FDE model is no longer listed by FNH USA, although a flat dark earth version of the new MK2 is available.[18]
- Five-seven ODG
- The Five-seven ODG (Olive Drab Green)olive drab frame finish and black controls, as opposed to the standard black frame finish and grey controls of the Five-seven USG.[16] Like the USG model, the ODG model was offered with either adjustable sights or low profile fixed sights.[16] Since 2012, the ODG model is no longer listed by FNH USA.[18]
- Five-seven MK2
- The Five-seven MK2 model was introduced in 2013, and is now the standard version of the Five-seven offered by FN Herstal.[50] This new model has cocking serrations on the front of the slide, and has a one-piece metal slide (under the polymer cover), whereas the previous models have a two-piece welded metal slide.[51] It is available only with adjustable sights.[51][52] The rear sight on the adjustable-sight version has also been changed, with beefed-up construction and white straight-edge sight references compared to the present three-dot target-style sights; these have been described as "combat adjustable sights".[52]
- The MK2 has a black frame and slide, with flat black controls in place of the grey controls of the IOM and USG models. It is also available with a flat dark earth frame color. It is slightly wider than previous models and will not fit most custom holsters made for earlier versions of the Five-seven.[citation needed]
Current model
- Five-seven MK3 MRD
- The Five-seven MK3 MRD model was introduced in 2022, the main difference is the new FN patented interface that accepts the most commonly used red dot sights, and multisurfaced textures. Optically it has a new slide and a more textured grip, compared to the MK2. It is available in black and flat dark earth.
Controversies
The Five-seven pistol and
In early 2005, the pistol was subject to controversy in the United States after the Brady Campaign stated that commercially available 5.7×28mm SS192 ammunition penetrated a
The Five-seveN has been loved and hated in the years since its introduction. It is one of the most controversial handguns of our time, and was so even before the Fort Hood atrocity.
—Massad Ayoob, On Target magazine[20]
Michael D. Barnes, then-president of the Brady Campaign, responded to the NRA's statements on the Five-seven by challenging NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre to be shot with the pistol while wearing a Kevlar vest.[57] The NRA again responded to the Brady Campaign's statements, saying that "Barnes demonstrated his group's complete and utter disregard for gun safety and its flaming zeal to further restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners."[57] In the same year, two pieces of legislation were introduced in the United States Congress, specifically targeting the Five-seven pistol and 5.7×28mm ammunition for a federal ban: the H.R. 1136: PLEA Act was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), and the S. 527: PLEA Act was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ); neither bill proceeded to a vote by the House or Senate.[58][59]
In March 2007, legislation was again introduced in the
In November 2009, the Five-seven again became subject to controversy in the United States, following the
Users
The first military organization to adopt the Five-seven was the Cypriot National Guard (Greek: Εθνική Φρουρά), which purchased 250 pistols in May 2000 for its special forces group.[1] By 2009, the Five-seven was in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations throughout the world.[citation needed]
In the United States, the Five-seven (as of 2010) is used by over 300 law enforcement agencies, including the
