The Original 5.7: FN Five-seveN MRD

Popularity of the 5.7x28mm cartridge has never been greater, and shooters today owe a tip of the cap to the ammunition’s creator, FN. Despite being the only game in town for nearly two decades, FN was not content to rest on its laurels. Recently, the company set out to update its 5.7 handgun offering, and the result is the FN Five-seveN MRD semiautomatic pistol. Utilizing delayed-blowback operation and a single-action trigger, the MRD is both accurate and a joy to shoot. Too, compared to earlier offerings, the MRD comes with enhanced ergonomics and an optic-ready slide. For those wanting to experience the power and precision of the 5.7x28mm cartridge and desire a high-quality handgun from the ammunition’s original maker, look no further than the FN Five-seveN MRD.
