My question about the 5.7 has to do with the price. It seems like I see these going for 3x the amount that they were selling for a few years back. Am I just misremembering the pricing when they first came out, or have they really jumped like i'm thinking, and why?
Ahh ok, that's a little higher than what I was thinking the original pricing was. I thought I remembered seeing them in the $750-$800 range a few years back. Then I got online and starting seeing some people posting them for up to $2500 at one point a few months ago. I know prices on pretty much everything went up, but I couldn't figure out what was causing such a large price increase on that gun in particular.The pistol has always been around $1000 plus or minus a little. Haven't looked in a while but I know FNH has raised prices on all their firearms lately.
Ammo was usually $800 per case of 2000 rounds, with sales every now and then dropping that to $725 or so. After the big panic ammo went over $1200 per 2K case but it is starting to show up again at around the $1000 mark for the std case (2000 rounds).
From what I have read. The round out of the rifle (PS90) at 300 yards or less is very effective. Out of the short pistol barrel, ballistically about the same as a .22 Magnum...
