Also, resolution is very important at distance. Think of it as how sharp it can focus. The more precise the lens is ground and the better the coating is, the sharper the image will be. How well it is put together too. This costs more money to make.

300 yards may not be that far to worry about resolution much.

I held the FN 5.7 and I did not like the size of the gun, just ridiculously huge.

The USP Compact Tactical was much more to my liking. Someday I'll have to get one and toss a can on it.

I too really like the .45 round.

That said If you are considering both I would see if you can't find a gun shop with a range so you can shoot both of them and let that decide.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The 5.7 is a great shooting gun, very low recoil and easy to shoot very small groups.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have shot both and hold under a 3inch pattern at 35 feet. The FN funs are just large in general, the FN-P is not a concealed carry weapon by any means but it will certainly put the glocks to the test as far as durability and dependability.

If zombies come I am covered lol. I have the Sig Tac Ops P226 in 9mm 20+1 stack, two different .40, and two .45 already. Along with my 12ga and 5.56. I am thinking of a 308 AR-10 in the near future but that will have to wait till I get my settlement from being creamed by the Xerox box truck.

That is gorgeous! I've never heard of that caliber, but I'd love that rifle. Thanks for sharing. Steve

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Picked up my lower today and assembled it and put everything together, nothing fancy but here it is.

Sweet, I firearm thread!

I'm an avid hunter shooter.

I have a "small collection"

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've been looking at conceal carry weapons lately seeing as WI recently passed the law. I kinda fell in love with the Ruger LC9 Lasermax, does anybody have any first hand experience with this weapon?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Does that thing load and fire itself too?! Looks like the barrel stand will scratch the table.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have an LC9, that I acquired recently. Make sure you clean it when you first get it, it has a ton of grease inside and wont fire if properly if you don't. It's accurate, but has a super long triggerpull, I'm looking into replacing the trigger. In my opinion the lasermax is a waste, get the regular model and buy a sweet carry rig. I had a bodyguard which has a built in laser and just didn't think I would use it in a defensive situation. Just one extra step when its not really needed. YMMV

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Jeez keith.....that is one sexy gun.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Good for you, bud. Arm up. I carry daily here in the great republic of Texas.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The length of trigger pull is the only thing I didn't like about the gun, it seemed very excessive to the point where it was almost uncomfortable. I'll keep looking, I'm gonna look at a couple Kahrs next.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have the Kahr PM9 as my CCW gun, have a couple thousand rounds through it, and it has never given me a problem.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'll look at at, a buddy of mine who's very into guns recommended the CW9, but I'll look at the PM9 as well, thanks.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hmmm, both the CW9 and PM9 look like something I may be interested in just by specs alone, now I just gotta go to Gander and take a look.
