Some time ago information was disseminated regarding a pistol that can defeat body armor. The pistol is the FHN Five-Seven. The US media has nicknamed this pistol the "cop killer" pistol because of its danger to police. In mid-November, one of these pistols was confiscated during a traffic stop on a signal 30 in Colerain Township (Cincinnati Ohio area). The gun was found after the suspect resisted the pat down.
Attached is a picture of the confiscated weapon and the rounds that were loaded into it. As you can see, they appear to be small rifle rounds. The pistol was test fired at our range and the rounds penetrated both the front and back of the vest. Please share this information with all of your personnel as well as with any other police agencies you deal with.
While all weapons are a danger to our officers, this one poses an even greater risk and it has now made it into the hands of criminals in our area.
