SOLD - Rare, Boxed FN Five-Seven IOM - Round Trigger Guard (386103351 - 31204)

Description

7/17/24 - This is a mint, early FN Five Seven pistol, that is complete with four mags, paperwork, cleaning kit, test casing, and its original box (not numbered). The gun shows almost no signs of wear or use - just a few very light surface scuffs. Considered by many to be a truly innovative design, it is made from light weight composite materials and chambered in very potent bottle-neck 5.7MM cartridge. This cartridge is able to attain very high muzzle velocities, more comparable to carbines, than the handguns. Very ergonomic and light, with 20-shot capacity, it became a favorite self protection weapon of the civilian contractors working in post-war Iraq. This is the early variation IOM model, with round trigger guard and adjustable sights. Only a couple thousand were made before the round trigger guard was eliminated two years into production. This variation became a collector's item and very few can be found available for sale.
