Im torn... Glock or FN

[nstuyt]

Ive been in the market for another pistol but I can decide between an FN Five Seven or a Glock 21. I already have a .45 and was thinking about getting a 10mm conversion barrel for the Glock. Either round I plan on reloading but the 5.7 seems to be sensitive to loading and not long lasting.

FN all the way

You can't just install a 10MM barrel in a GLOCK 21 to run 10MM. The barrel hoods are different width. Lonewolf doesn't offer this conversion for a GLOCK 21. You can install a complete TOP END (10MM slide/barrel) and swap to 10MM (Glock 20) mags and run 10MM. But the money involved you're better off buying a used G20.

Yeah, reloading 5.7 is not as easy as we think.

Both weapons are entirely different platforms.

Since you already have a .45 I vote to get a GLOCK 20SF and buy a .40 conversion barrel for it. ($115) You can reload 10MM and .40 with the same Dies; not hard and certainly easier than the pricey 5.7 set up and components.

Shoot 10MM and .40.

Sorry, but I disagree with Oceanbob. You most certainly can put a 10mm barrel in a G21 and run it just fine. I've done it.

There are always risks involved when performing conversions. Know these and understand the limitations of the conversion before committing to them.

Myself, I don't see a lot of future for the 5.7mm round. I can understand it's use in a selective fire PDW, but not in a normal side arm.

If you plan to reload, check out the thread below.

Gun KBd on Factory ammo.

I would be scared to reload.

Yes it will run. There is a gap on each side of the hood however.

Depends what you're buying it for... I have a G21 and my buddy has the 5.7. IMO, the 5.7 is just a gun to have fun with on some land shooting different things. The G21 is a little more versatile. I've had the G21 since I was 14 and have loved every minute of it. Great gun

[tacticalcity]

My vote is for the Glock.

[paul0660]

Isn't the FN twice the cost of the 21?

[PandaLuv]

FN is sexy, so FN.

I would love a five seven. Wicked little round.

But that's just me...
