The FN 5.7×28mm SS195LF is a high-velocity, small-caliber cartridge developed by FN Herstal as part of its 5.7×28mm lineup. The “SS195LF” designation means “lead-free,” indicating the use of a non-toxic primer that reduces lead exposure—an advantage for indoor ranges and high-volume shooting. This load typically features a lightweight 27-grain hollow-point bullet with an aluminum core and copper jacket. Because of its low weight, it achieves fast muzzle velocities (often around or above 2,000 feet per second), resulting in a flat trajectory and very low recoil. These characteristics make it easier to control and allow for quicker follow-up shots compared to many traditional handgun cartridges. The hollow-point design is intended to expand upon impact, improving energy transfer. Overall, the SS195LF is known for its combination of speed, low recoil, cleaner primer composition, and general versatility for target shooting and range use.
