Feg Pistols S Manual Safety Device

Four holes on the left side of the magazine make it possible to estimate the number of cartridges in it, and at the base of the magazine there is a small protrusion under the finger.

As a result, in 1996, FN presented its new pistol chambered for 5,7x28 mm, designated Five-seveN and intended for arming army and police units.

The name of the Five-seveN pistol is an interesting combination: on the one hand, Five-seveN is 5-7 - the caliber of the weapon, and on the other, the first and last letter of the name, written in capital letters, is the abbreviation of Fabrique Nationale.

This version of the pistol is characterized by a double-acting trigger mechanism and the absence of a safety catch, as well as the use of a trigger guard of a complex shape that allows convenient shooting with tight gloves and with two hands.

The Five-seveN Tactical pistol was equipped with a single-action trigger, a double-sided manual safety device located on the frame above the trigger guard.

A shorter trigger travel with less trigger pull provided more accurate shooting.

This model was discontinued after the introduction of the Five-seveN IOM.

The Five-seveN IOM pistol differed from the previous model by the use of Mil-Std 1913 (Picatinny rail) universal guides on the frame under the barrel, a modified shape of the bolt-casing and new adjustable sights.

In addition, an automatic magazine fuse was added to the design of the pistol.

However, this pistol did not last long, as it was soon replaced by the Five-seveN USG.

At the same time, the pistol was offered in various frame finishes and various sights.

Since 2009, the pistol has been offered with low profile fixed sights in addition to the standard adjustable or fixed sights.

With the introduction of the Five-seveN USG, the production of the previous models was discontinued.

In the front of the frame there are guide slots for attaching additional devices (for example, a tactical flashlight and a laser sight).

The shape and size of the trigger guard allow you to fire with gloves and with two hands.

Replaceable inserts on the handle adjust its size, in addition, plastic inserts are also located on the sides of the rear of the breech casing, which makes reloading easier.

When using a special extended barrel, the pistol can also be equipped with various mufflers for the sound of a shot.

The shutter-casing slides along the inner guides of the frame.

After firing, the barrel and the bolt cover together move back while the barrel is under the pressure of the bullet moving along the rifling.

This allows the barrel to move back a little and squeeze the latch holding the bolt, after which the bolt casing moves on its own, completing the loading cycle.

In the basic model Five-seveN, only a double-acting trigger is used, without a manual fuse, and in subsequent models, a single-action trigger.

The barrel lock is located on the frame on the left, in front of the safety lever.

The slide stop lever is located on the left side of the frame, above the handle.
