I've heard much about the FN Five-Seven and loved everything about it, until I handled one in a gunshop. I don't get the point of the polymer coating on the slide - it felt like a cheap plastic toy gun, and the grips are way too wide. It felt like I was handling a doublestack Para Warthog or HK Mark 23. If you have small hands and feel uncomfortable with big grip frames then you may not like this gun.

BTW I was told that handgun is one of the few ones banned in NYC.
