2.3. Magazines and ammunition

Magazines

The magazines supplied with the

pistol have a total magazine capacity

of 20 rounds (10 rounds where

restricted by law).

With an additional round in the chamber,

the pistol has a total capacity of 11 or

21 rounds. However, as we recommend

that, unless shooting is imminent, no

round should be loaded in the chamber

of the pistol, the recommended maximum

carrying capacity is 10 or 20 rounds in

the magazine with the chamber empty.

This magazine is unique for the FN Five-

seveN

pistol and should not be used in

other pistols and no other magazines

should be used in your FN Five-seveN

pistol.

The left side of the magazine has been provided with four openings

which allow you to estimate the number of rounds left.

If a round is visible in the hole ‘20’ (or ‘10’), the magazine is fully loaded

while the other holes simply offer you the possibility to estimate the number

of rounds still in the magazine.
