As posted here, there are a few +s about the new FNH 5.7x28mm pistols. High cap mags(20 rounds), low recoil, high vel, no muzzle flash or blast, AP factors.
The -s include high price, hard to find gear/holsters, lack of ammunition choices or brands, large size. I'd add that this model was used by the berserk US Army officer in the Fort Hood Texas spree shooting.
If you used this 5.7mm model in a critical incident, that factor may come up.
Overall, I'd say the FNH 5.7x28mm has a lot going for it. I like the OD model. But in general, unless you have the $$$ & resources, I wouldn't get it.
