The FN, definitely. You'll shoot the 5.7mm round much more consistently with less practice.

Personally I'd even take a revolver in .22 Magnum (which is similar to 5.7) over any 9mm semi-auto. I have learned to shoot the latter well, with practice, but I've been deadly with the former since my air rifle days.

Those things are so ridiculously stupid and made for guys who buy a gun to act like a badass.

Shoot that bitch at night. The muzzle flash is massive as well.

I'd get a FN 509 over the 57. It's going to cost double the Glock though.

Glock. More affordable gun and more affordable ammo. If you’re rich, 5-7.

My next pistol is a G17, but FN is my favorite manufacturer

I've got both. G17 is the answer.

Why not a S&W Shield?

Or a P226?

The 5.7? Bullcrap

Mine came with a 4.5 lbs pressure trigger.

That's heavy to you?

FN 5.7 is a range toy.
Ammo is expensive and hard to come by.
Mags are expensive and hard to come by. It is not a good choice for a combat handgun.
Stick with a glock in 9mm.

Both are great guns.. Figure out which one feels more natural in your hand. Not every gun is for every person. My choice, FN. I carry a FN FS or FX40 daily.

SBRd PS90 1st gen trigger pack with a little can too! Rounds are expensive, but it’s fun as hell!!

Go to the range and rent several. See what you are most comfortable and accurate with.

That is how I ended up with my Sig P226....thought I would like the Glock best but you have to bear down on them to prevent misfire.

Sig is the GOAT.

5.7 is expensive but
High capacity magazine
More accurate farther out
Groups pie plate at 100 yds

Performance of the 5.7 is superior.

Con
End of world comes, you’ll be able to find replacement parts and Ammo for your flock off all the dead bodies. Not so much the 5.7
