FN Five-seveN

FN Five-seveN original model, which is no longer produced - 5.7x28mm FN

FN Five-seveN USG (U.S. Government) model - 5.7x28mm FN. This is the most common version of the Five-seveN in channels of commerce, but also no longer produced as FN Herstal replaces the USG model with the newer Mk2. It has a frame-mounted safety and an accessory rail. The FN Five-seveN isn't issued with a threaded barrel, but threaded barrels and sound suppressors are commercially available as aftermarket items.

FN Five-seveN FDE (Flat Dark Earth) - 5.7x28mm FN

FN Five-seveN Mark 2 - 5.7x28mm FN. The Mk2 model has cocking serrations on the front of the slide as well as on the rear. This is a fixed-sight version.

FN Five-seveN Mark 2 FDE - 5.7x28mm FN

FN Five-seveN Mk3 MRD FDE - 5.7x28mm FN. This variant is now the standard version of the FN Five-seveN offered by FNH

The FN Five-seveN is a striker-fired semi-automatic pistol manufactured by FN Herstal and designed to use the same 5.7x28mm ammunition as the FN P90. The small size of its 5.7x28mm ammunition allows the Five-seveN to hold 20 rounds per magazine, a quantity far larger than most handguns of similar size. The pistol has been the subject of negative press, with the misconception that its 5.7mm ammunition can penetrate body armor (which is not the case with civilian ammunition), its use in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, and the pistol's popularity among Mexican cartels as the mata-policias ("cop-killer") causing critics to protest its sale to civilians. Despite this, the Five-seveN is favored among US agencies and police departments and fills the role of the standard sidearm in Belgian and Kosovar service.
