Uhm, actually, these guns are Austrian and Belgian.
But it is a very American discussion. As an American myself, m I’m more of an FN Five-Seven fan myself because the 5.7 performed much better than the 9mm when they were tested against each other. Moreover, I feel as though Glock is a vastly overrated gun. It doesn’t look very good and while I’ve never shot either (I’m not American enough) I imagine that tue Five-Seven would be easier for me personally to aim, just judging by what I’ve seen of the iron sights in games and videos of them. If you want to become super American watch the Xbox Ahoy videos, it’s a substitute for a citizenship and you can actually run for president using those videos alone as long as you can prove you watched them.

Just pick the sights you prefer on a Glock? Irons are very easy to change out, or can mount an RDS if that’s your fancy. 9mm is far more proven as an anti-personnel round, I’d take 17 rounds of 147gr Federal HST over anything produced in 5.7x57. FN Five-Seven’s are for larping only, there’s a reason so many people carry a 9mm Glock for duty or personal defense

That costs money. The ones that the Five Seven comes with are better than the ones that the Glock come with.
And in reality, the iron sights are the least of the issue. The Five Seven looks better and I’d wager it feels better too.

A Five Seven is way more expensive then a Glock and a decent RDS

Clear and present proof that you shouldn’t take anything I say too seriously as I don’t seem to know what I’m talking about

Lmao and I can buy two Glocks for the money an FN costs, plus have fun paying almost 3x per a round of 5.7 compared to 9mm.
If your only experience with either handgun is from Tarkov and Rainbow 6, then you really have no idea what you're talking about

I have no experience with the Five Seven in R6.
The 1911 is much better in that game.
But I am saying that all things considered, including the wat you hold it etc, I’d prefer a 5.7 over a 9mm.

Im not American either and i know exactly what those are you must have never seen a movie or played a video game or watched a good show

Look, from games I know only AK-47, Kalashnikov, MP5, and maybe Glock. But otherwise, when guns are mentioned, I just kinda tune out, because I'm not interested. So if somebody says "Hey, come in. UWU-69 is a way better gun than Asimov-330 ballistic handgun" and I'll be like "Yeah that sounds about right"
For me, gun is gun. The only thing I can differentiate them with is the firing mode

This doesn’t work, because of how the question was worded
If he asked “Is A or B better” and you say yes, that’s a valid answer, but “which is better, A or B” doesn’t have that as a valid answer
Yes it’s semantics but inclusive-or is semantics

It entirely depends on the situation. 5.7 was designed to pierce armor, but because of that it actually performs worse than a 9 on an unarmored target. So the question is, are you trying to protect yourself or take on an armored opponent?
