#1 Looking at it, I see little more than a street sprayer.
Not a weapon to aim and shoot accurately.

#2 Never understood the rationale - too heavy and awkward to use accurately as a true pistol and if you're going to add an arm brace just get a damn carbine, facryinoutloud.

#4 Well, I've got a DSA SA-58 pistol. FAL. It makes all the tacticool boyz with their PCCs step lively, regardless how heavy it is.

#5 A pistol is a pistol and a rifle is a rifle. Use the most appropriate weapon at the proper time. I was amused by Ian' problems with a Evaluating the Modern Stocked Pistol: USW-320 at Desert Brutality 2022(Forgotten Weapons.com video). Watching the bullet impacts scatter all around the small target at 100 yards ...*Snicker*

#6 BTW: Skidmark answer to your yesterday comment/question.

My Delta Elite 10mm is the US Government Model Stainless Steel field weapon tested by the Fed's, and it came with old style wood grips.

It failed the 1990s Fed Eval, because the Female agents had a hard time with the 22lb slide cocking spring. The 200+ grain bullet at 750 to 1100+/-fps depending on load used, delivers about 2x the ft/lbs per sq/inch of a 9mm.
So no need to double tap.

I quickly replaced wooden grips with Packmar's, to cushion the impact of firing it.

But alas, as I got older, I admit, I converted it to a 40cal and dig custom trigger job on it.

#7 Plus the DSA SA-58 is less than half the price of this FN model, MM.

#8 I think it is cute. Looks to be just the thing for an urban drive-by shooting.
