OSUPITTSBURGH427 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Which do you think is a better buy, a Sig Sauer 250/226 or a FN Herstal both in either .357 sig or .45 acp? I am also open to suggestion. I already have a HK USP .45 so if that was going to be thrown out don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I like the SIG 226's, but the FN 5.7s are baller but I havent shot one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 wow, you like expensive guns eh? The FNH 5.7 is handgun with the "rifle round" right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1veryfastvr4 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 some call it that....... they arent exactly expensive, id say there are alot more other guns out there that cost more, really when you get into some nice 1911's these are cheap lol FNH is putting the 5.7's out there steady, now the price has been coming down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 My vote is the Sig. Then you have the best of both worlds, your HK and a Sig. I would go for an older model, say 05-07. FN makes a nice rifle, but I was never thrilled with their handguns. Stay away from the 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Per the man above I shot both and I bought a 226. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THOUGHT FNH priced those 5.7's around a grand? though Ive never shoped for a gun over 500$ so i always kind of ignored them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 The FNH 5.7 is handgun with the "rifle round" right? No, it's a handgun with a very-small caliber (.22) high-velocity pistol round with very little energy fairly high costs. The only kinda good thing about it is that it will penetrate soft armor with some loads, and have a soft recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1veryfastvr4 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 not sure on FNH pricing, back 2 yrs ago when i first started looking for one you couldnt find them for under $1200, i kinda hated spending that on one so i waited and cam across one used for $850 that had a few extras with it so made me happy with the purchase, my cousin has been wanting one and ive been watching them and seems like you can find them for around $900 now, as i said their prodution numbers i guess increased and i think thats why prices are coming down im same way on prices, i try not to shop for expensive guns, i like what works and functions, but like the 5.7 there are guns that i see and want so i dont mind spending the extra money on them... kinda like the difference btw the dime pieces at the strip clubs and the uglies you kno who you will spend more on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
