My take on it is that it is a bit underpowered for Deer at 100 yards and is not really designed for hunting with such a short barrel .... but we all have a different take on that sort of thing .... when we looked at these pistols over here they did'nt really do anything a teflon round in 9mm could'nt do ... then it dawned on us that simply by doing that with a copper jacketed bullet they were pushing for a different market ... that that was the whole purpose of the calibre ...

FN you see made a lot of money with the Browning HP on military sales in the past ... they lost these contracts mainly to SIG for us and Berretta for you and CZ for the Eastern European market and the Germans have always gone for H&K's or Walther's ... and virtually everyone likes the Glocks .... combine that with the loss of the SLR as our battle rifle and one used by many other Nations ... and they must have been hurting a lot financially.

Some of us felt their going down this route was a bit like giving the finger to the LEO/Military market for not choosing any of their products. Here in Europe nearly all cops day to day armour is the low profile level II ... and whilst pistols can be legally purchased in most countries ... assault rifles and especially cut down pistols of these cannot ... and ofcourse teflon rounds are not available to the civilian market ... so it begs the question whether the FN marketing guys thought "right, lets see what we can do in the "other" side of the market" ... because these pistols can now be bought over the counter throughout Europe and for anyone looking for a pistol to shoot "centre mass" with little or no advanced skill and still take down guys in armoured vests they now have the ideal "solution".

A bit like a London market trader shouting to the crowd ... " get your cop killers here" ... "roll up roll up" ... "so ugly you won't mind dumping them after use" .... "ideal for the up and coming Al Kieda" .... joking I know but you get the point ...
