Michigan Firearm FAQ: Should I Purchase An FN57 As A Defensive Firearm?

Ask The Michigan Firearms Instructor
Q: Hey Rick, I am thinking about buying that FN57 handgun. What do you think?

A: I have indeed shot the FN57 handgun on numerous occasions and I feel that it is a fine firearm. However, I would explore other options for a primary defensive pistol.

In no particular order, I would select one of the following firearms chambered at 9mm or above for my primary defensive handgun: S&W M&P, Glock, and Springfield. If you already own one of the aforementioned handguns and want a backup defensive gun for fun, then buy the FN57.
