Hmmmm... I just noticed that my DAO looks a little different than the pic posted. Mine had the FN logo on the pistol grip, and it has an HOD (hold open device).

Cheers

I believe (but could be wrong) that yours is later in the chronology.
It looks like you also have the night sights.

Posted: **25 Oct 2008, 15:00**

Yes, they have the Trilux sights....

Posted: **24 Nov 2008, 07:08**

Can anyone tell me which variat this is? The mags are marked LE/Gov only. I know it is a tactacal model with a 1 stage trigger and it does not appear to have a magazine safety. The serial #386MZ50XXX. It is in great shape and if know an estimated value would be welcome. I just paid $875 for it with 2 20rd Mags in the FN case but without the cleaning kit or lock.

Thanks,

It's a tactical, and you got a heck of a deal on it.

Posted: **24 Nov 2008, 08:25**

875!!!!!! Why don't I ever find deals like that

Posted: **24 Nov 2008, 08:26**

Haha, tell me about it.

Posted: **24 Nov 2008, 11:09**

Why is that such a good deal? What's this thing worth?

The Seller has another one in the same condition for the same price. I can give you names, numbers...

I bought this gun back in May this year serial # 38. I went on the fiveseven forum and they called it a prototype. I noticed no pictures here so here is one. I paid $710 including tax for it. I sold it in July.

Since I can't seem to post a picture here there are lots of pictures on this thread on a different forum. See posts 23 and 24.

If you can find an LEO who will sell it to you, it's legal to own in PRK.

I have a FiveseveN pistol that, from the information on the forum, appears to be a variation between the original version distributed (in the picture) and the "next"? version. How might I go about finding out more information?

DAO version, old and worth a lot of money.

Posted: **23 Jan 2009, 05:44**

why would this variant be worth more than the newer models being sold now?

Posted: **23 Jan 2009, 06:17**

Yes, quite a bit more.

It is quite rare and it is a collector's item.

Posted: **23 Jan 2009, 09:19**

Actually, they're yanking your chain. It's practically worthless.
I'll give ya $5 for it!

Seriously, it's rare, and you have yourself quite a find there. Most would keep her in a safe as an investment. If you're not the type to keep a safe queen, offer it up for sale or even to trade. You might be surprised what you're offered for a gem like that.

Posted: **07 Feb 2009, 10:40**

Thank you for the information. I would sell it. If anyone is interested in it please let me know.

Five-seveN USG (United States Government)

This is the most recent version of the Five-seveN. The USG keeps the features incorporated in the IOM, such as the magazine disconnect ("magazine safety"), single action trigger, and tall adjustable sights, but has some differences. These include a square (i.e. conventionally shaped) trigger-guard, checkered grip pattern, and a larger, reversible magazine release. There has been some confusion between the IOM and USG. Just remember once again that no matter what your user's documents call your Five-seveN, if it has the square trigger guard it is a USG. According to FN, the name mixup is due to the transition between the IOM and USG versions. USG pistols labeled "IOM" or "IOM USG" aren't any different than USG's labeled "USG". An average price for a USG is about $800.

FDE:

ODG:

-----

Specifications

Weight Empty.................. 1.4 lbs.
Weight Loaded................ 1.6 lbs.
Height.............................. 5.4 in.
Barrel Length................... 4.8 in.
O/A Length....................... 8.2 in.
Sight Radius..................... 6.9 in.
Max Gun Width................. 1.4 in.
Max Grip Thickness........... 1.2 in.
Max Grip Circumference.... 6.0 in.
Trigger Pull....................... 5.5 lbs.
Trigger Span..................... 2.9 in.

These specifications and dimensions apply to all of the Five-seveN variants currently available, with the exception of the trigger pull on the DAO Five-seveN variant being heavier at about 10-14 lbs. Please note that (despite the rumors going around) a Five-seveN compact variant is not being planned at this time.

Well,

I guess I have the USG. It is clearly marked on the box and IOM, but the pictures tell the tale. :ponder:

Mine is black and I was lucky to find it at a Gun Show here in Miami recently for $899. Bass Pro Shops had it on sale for $849 and I ordered one there, but after six weeks of waiting and no clear answer as to when it might arrive, I grabbed the one new in the box at the Gun Show and canceled the one at Bass Pro. :furious:

Thanks for the identifications! :thumb:

found a usg with fixed sights at local gunshow this weekend but were'nt night sights.novak style but alot longer due to filling up the slide..looks good but pretty dumb idea considering how much point of impact difference there is at 25"with just the different fn ammo.not to mention ea or reloads.i would think fixed sights a bad idea unless shooting only one type of ammo and setting accordingly.

I totally agree. Right On!

Posted: **13 Jun 2009, 22:26**

Sadly I'm a bit of a noob to the forum world in general but I'll try to fit in the best I can. I'm curious on where I could find the best deal on one of these and which model I should aim for. I'm not much for collecting but now that I'm back on top of things it's time to reset up my home defense and also get something I will enjoy to shoot. I noticed that the ammunition is everything but cheap so where's the best place to buy a nice stock of rounds to blow through and which ones are best for nome defense? Sorry to rant but I'm trying to kill as many birds as I can on this first shot

Posted: **13 Jun 2009, 22:52**

I would start at Tanners. Anything but the USG starts to fall into collector territory and will cost more.

Welcome to the forum

Posted: **14 Jun 2009, 05:17**

Maybe I'm a bit slow, but I thought you said the tactical model has a serial number starting with 3861. Mine starts that way but it has the rounded trigger guard instead.

Did my tiny brain become over-loaded again?

Posted: **18 Apr 2010, 19:41**

Tacticals do have a rounded trigger guard.

Posted: **18 Apr 2010, 20:40**

But they also have a smooth accessory rail and trigger guard, meaning sans ribs or nibs or grooves what ever you want to call them.

Also, an original tactical slide will have six dots on the grip at the back instead of grooves.

Additionally the tactical should have a safety, and is usually black, as compared to grey on every subsequent model excluding FDE and ODG USG models.

Furthermore, the pistol should not have a magazine safety, meaning the hammer should fall with trigger actuation when a magazine is not present in the magazine well.

Posted: **19 Apr 2010, 11:38**

Mine has none of those features but does have the 3861 serial number that I thought it was said to indicate a tactical model. The photo below the tactical doesn't show a rounded trigger guard. I'll look again; Maybe I missed something.

That photo shows a trigger guard different from mine. Mine is straight on the bottom portion of the trigger guard. That is not the case for the one indicating what a tactical model looks like.

Then you probably have a USG with fixed sights, which is a much newer model than what was pictured.

Actually, no. My rear sight is adjustable. Well, whatever it is, I like it!

You must've gotten it when it first came out, then. It's the newest variant, sans the variant of the USG with fixed sights.

I was afraid that I would be asked that. I have more handguns that I haven't fired, yet I pay over $200 a year for a shooting range, hunting and fishing rights, etc., but I haven't been there in years. It took a long time waiting for an opening so I would hate toose my spot.

I'm disabled thanks to a drunk driver hitting me doing 45-50MPH while I was sitting at a red light. Even worse was that I had leaned way forward to adjust the radio when he hit me. I was strapped in but it didn't help much.

To shorten this, I've had two neck surgeries for 2 of the 3 (4 new ones since then) ruptured discs. I also made contact with 100,000 volts that came in my right arm, out my left hand and mid-thigh on my right leg. I developed a muscle disease that affects both arms, my right leg, yet my left leg is fine. I know the shock caused this disease that is slowly progressing.

I've been unable to work since my second neck surgery, not so much because of that (but the surgery didn't help the excruciating pain) but the muscle disease progressed until I had to use a cane. Plus I remained in
severe pain and it has increased through the years.

I have to take a lot of medications that make me very sleepy. BUT, If I cancel my membership, it would be admitting that I'll never shoot again and I'm stubborn. Also' I don't have anyone to shoot with. I've even done the unthinkable: carrying for SD when I haven't even shot it. That includes the Five Seven.

That was very elequent and kind. Were those your remarks or something I should remember from school?!

I meant to say something else. With taking strong muscle relaxers, I can walk unaided - until I broke my right foot in Jan., doc said I did the worst thing possible to my foot. Broke 2 bones, dislocated 2 more and tore a ligament loose. He said It should be recovered by july but I'll have to wear an orthopedic device for the rest of my life. Naturally, it was my right foot - the leg that has problems.

My luck isn't good lately. I was in the bathroom and I heard the phone ring. Thinking it might be in regards to my dental appt. today, I rushed to the phone and my right foot got caught and I crashed to the floor injuring my right foot, right knee (it needs artifical knee and twisted my lower back - where I have another ruptured disc.

Anyway, I didn't mean to get us off topic; I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate the nice remarks.

The Five-seven Tactical was introduced shortly after the original double-action only variant, as a single-action alternative. It had a short and light trigger pull of 2 to 3 daN (4.4 to 6.6 lbf), as on current models.[44] It also had the addition of an ambidextrous manual safety device (located on each side of the frame, as on current models), and a slide release.[44] Aside from these differences, the Tactical variant was identical to the original double-action only Five-seven. It was discontinued following the introduction of the IOM variant.

I ordered a set of All Black Controls from FN (I don't like the Gray - personal preference). I received a partial order a month ago and still waiting for the other pieces before installing them all. I think it just looks better in black and an easy swap. Cost was under $20 (plus my labor).

Yes we can and it you don't need a new slide just some bits and a cover. I can also upgrade to night sights.

Need help guys! I'm trying to do research for my step-father's Five-seveN. After hours of searching for an answer online, I can't seem to find anything. His pistol seems to fall into some unspecified category between the original variant and the changes made on the tactical variant in that although there is a slide release, there is no safety on this gun. The serial number starts out 386MZ10XXX. I don't know if this was some mid-generation model made before the actual tactical version. He has both IOM and USG models as well, and this one is completely different from the others. It has a low profile fixed rear and front sight, but the logo is on the handle instead of underneath the slide as shown in the original post. Anyone out there with answers? Thanks!

Some pics of the Mk2 from FNH's website:

You guys know I don't put looks as a priority, when purchasing firearms to shoot; that design is ugly and looks brashly put-together.

More importantly, at least the pictures of the adjustable sight models have better rear adjustable sights than the USG models.

I got to check out the MK2 at the NRA show. It looks and feels and is a lot better, in person.

I like it. The slide is definitely manufactured a lot sturdier and the sights are a huge improvement; I am never for the preference towards an adj sight using the bladed design vs the moving block.

I'm looking forward to testing the new pistol out.

The lower frame does have a taper, so it is not 100% a duplicate of the USG's. I did not have the chance to verify and compare it to the USG for other variances.

Wonder if it fits in the same holsters? Specifically the SERPA

Posted: **07 May 2013, 08:12**

It should.

TADA, behold, serrations! Also note the bevel at the front, akin to later generation Glocks.

thanks to my USPSA friend who has a nice camera and was nice enough to take this picture for me.

yep, the above pic is the exact model i just got.....and it will fit in the serpa holster, but the push-button lock will not lock in - it's wider right in front of the trigger guard (where the picatiny rail begins) than it's predeccessor, and the slide no longer tapers down - it's the same width from the rear to the muzzle(and the holster is obviously molded for the tapered slide)...so i guess i'm going to have to find a new holster now...

Posted: **24 May 2013, 20:53**

Stands to reason it's thicker up front. That was a common failure point if you put to heavy of a accessory on the rail. Glad FNH beefed it up.

Here's the pics of the M2, including letter from FN regarding use of SS195LF in five-seven.

It took a little Dremel work (similar to what the dentist puts me through) on the inside of my Serpa, #18 USG Model, but I finally got the MKII to holster, lock-up, and release without any issue.

Any chance you could tell/show us what you did please? Instructions to post pics linked in my sig line.

My pistol looks nearly exactly like this one.

FN Logo on Grip. Blank right side plate. Very close in serial number to this specimen.

UPDATE

The gun is as new in the original FN box. 2 Mags. Some paperwork inside. I confess that I have not shot it and neither did the previous owner. My guess is that it is nearly unfired...maybe 150 rounds max.

Wondering a value on it.

I'm getting ready to part with it due to some medical bills and hoped that the group could help make sure I don't get boondoggled.

Also, if anyone knows the best place to market this piece, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks, guys!

Tom

MC1, we recommend that you don't post your phone number out in the open like that. Bots & spammers come through looking for stuff like that & you may end up on someone's calling list.
It would be best to just post that you are interested & invite them to PM you, then you can exchange phone numbers in private.

Good luck in your search.

Posted: **16 Mar 2014, 10:06**

Thank you! You are right.

I'm pleased with my MKII. A new holster is on the way from Stealthgear USA.

I am having some difficulty being able to identify my 5.7 . I was hoping this board may have an idea of what I have . The Sn is in the correct place but has been stamped with an ampersand directly after it. I know this is from the factory and I am the first to register it. Hope you guys have a clue thanks for all the help

Posted: **25 Sep 2015, 20:09**

Do you have a picture?

Not an ampersand, it's Proof mark. There are a few on the pistol just like it. Just put up a pic of the pistol.

He posted a link to a pic. Whatever google's deal is, it doesn't play well with our forum. I tried to fix it but... Google is just too frakkin' "special" to play well with others.
