Why don't you post his info here - there's always a bunch of us looking and buying if the price is right - and prices have been dropping recently!

Well I found out there are no limits at the range I shoot at here in SW Florida either. :patriot:

Been over 3 months now - have you had the Kimber out again? And?

Are you saying it was "cold" where you made the reloads? Like in a cold garage or basement? And or were all of the components cold when you did the reloads? And warm when you fired the 5 shots?

Looks slow here to me too - other FN sites not so much tho.

Instructions on how to post pics are linked in my sig line. I would guess the MkII has break in issues similar to the USG but even so, it's good to know the 198s served you well. Thanks for the picture loading advice, I'll have a look at your link. I'm a haf-assed photographer and should have been ...

While sighting in my new FN 5.7 Mk II today at the range, I fired 60 rounds of 197 and 60 rounds of 198, and was surprised at both the reliability and accuracy of each. All rounds fired were FN factory rounds - the target was set at 35 ft, and I made no sight adjustments while putting these first ro...

Not that I have ever heard of. Someone may make a .17 tho - or a .22 mag?

Well, I ordered one of those, and one of these http://www.kangaroocarry.com/products/air-marshal3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Not a lot of money involved in either, so hopefully I will be happy with one or the other.

Wow, that's it - or at least similar. Thanks for your comments and insight. I also have an S&W Shield
that may fit - does the material have some elasticity, and does it fasten/come together with Velcro?

Scam? I've never used Armslist so I wouldn't really know. I don't mean to hi-jack this ammo thread, but one thing that I learned recently is that you have to be really careful when buying on Armslist. I was dealing with 3 different 5.7 Mk II sellers on Armslist over the past 4 weeks, and ALL 3 were...

Thanks. In searching thru the forum, I saw that one, and while it is similar, that's not it. The one I'm looking for is very similar, and I'm pretty sure I saw it on this Forum. As I reall, it was a belly band kind of holster and cream tone color - kind of like skin color. And Ohio sticks in my mind...

X3. Just got a new Mk2 and all 3 mags were the new style.

I practice with both 197 & 198 - mostly 197, but when I carry, I carry 198. :agree:

Somewhere on here I saw an unusual holster that for lack of a better description, looked like a very wide Ace Bandage and fit under a shirt. It would wrap around your torso, below your pectoral chest muscles, and along the top of your stomach. There was a pistol pocket under your armpit. Anyone reme...

Not here, when it is available the price has been pretty steady with exception of one store. There is a LGS that is still charging a ridiculous price & the price has been increasing. That may change though, a Sportman's Warehouse has just opened in town & they stock 5.7 ammo. LGS is going to have t...

Curious if the combustible chemicals packed in the rear of the L191's cause any damage to the internals of the 5.7's barrel?

There is another thread about that company & how hard it is to get refund or product from them http://www.fivesevenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13203" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I don't know if they are still in business but from the looks of it, they will make good on it - eve...

How "custom" is the Kydex custom holster? What did they, or you do to it to make it fit your MK II?

duh. Thanks. :wall:

Looking for one of the newer, all black FN 5.7, Mk II's. Will consider a used/fired one. Thanks.

What does 12 mean? :ponder:

Refunds for what?

Bones, if you would like to move or are willing to part with anything 5.7, I would be interested. Or if you know someone that I may reach out to that might have rare ammo, 5.7 pistols,documentation or advertisements, again I would appreciate them contacting me at 305-218-0300. I am trying to work h...

Do they also make a case just for the 57? Suppose I could look it up myself. And what about other manufactures of soft cases for the 57 - is there a consensus for a good one?

Ah ha. Now I understand - thanks for the explanation.

My guess is that they started producing it back then in anticipation of a demand that did not materialize. :skep:

Just bought 10 boxs of SS197SR for $23.5/box, and 10 boxs of SS198LF for $26.10/box. The 198 price really caught my eye, as it had a Buy it Now price of $350 on gunbroker, but was listed in a no reserve auction! A previous 10 boxs of 198 from the same seller went for $266.00.

198 for me too, as it's the most readily available of the hot ammo.

New here, and interesting to learn a little about the history. :thumb:
