FNH has just released a version of their Five'n Seven pistola that is Individual Officer Mode or IOM is what they call it if my memory serves me right. Even for individual officers they have reduced the mag capacity to 10 rounds. I've played with one in a factory rep dog and pony show on our range that was select fire and it is actually pretty nice. The 5.7x28 caliber round even uses an SS109 style bullet. The prime reason alledgedly for this in a sub gun and sidearm was to punch a vest or for internal security folks to have a capacity to stop some harder targets when the are only armed with a such versus a full up battle rifle.

I know a lot of deputies that keep either a 41 or 44 mag as a backup/vehicle gun stuffed into a center console holster in their cruisers. I think the FNH/IOM would be a possible replacement for such "punching vehicle bodies" use.

I remain a fan of big bore at slow speeds for stopping human soft skin agressors versus the hypervelocity formulas for up close and personal but as a backup for specific needs I think this is a kewl tewl.........

Stay Safe FSE !

I had a lot of guns once. I had an Uzi, an AR-15, a SKS, a FN-FAL, a Mossberg camper combo, a Tec-9 (horrible gun), a makarov, 5 glocks, a few tossaway guns, an M1-Garand.

Once upon a time.

Now all I have is one single, lousy little Glock.
