Guys,
I believe you already heard for new pistol made by CZ with hunting in mind - FK Brno 7.5FK A year ago on last IWA (biggest gun show in EU)this model was presented with only one specimen behind the glass. On this IWA (held just few days ago) few pieces was showed. Announced as extremely accurate, 107grs 7.5mm bullet & 2000fps from 6". Only downside is price - According to verbal confirmation of CZ manager present on IWA, they are considering parity with Sig X5 which is in EU coming close to 3.000$. I do hope they will reconsider it
Does anybody have some more info about this model?
Igor

I would like to try it. But at the moment there appears to be no real world information on how it would perform in a hunting role.

A 7.5mm 100 grain projectile at 2000fps puts it roughly in .30 Carbine type performance levels but out of a handgun sized package. Add to that a proprietary cartridge and no reloading data. Still its early days and it will be interesting to see how it progresses.

Thanks for the link! This video was presented on IWA, too.
I understood that majority of production is already booked for US. Aside of price I see as a bottle neck ammo production which will be limited to 20 mio. rds/year in the moment w/o plans to allow to other producers to jump in.
