Long-Range Pistol Calibers? The 7.5 FK Brno Cartridge

A friend of mine has/had one of these. Very expensive & not very much support from the manufacturer.

Hailing from the historic city of Brno in the Czech Republic, FK BRNO of the Italian Firearms Group offers purpose-built pistols custom-designed for the proprietary 7.5 FK cartridge system.

The handguns and unique cartridge are meant specifically for long-range performance.

Offering controllable recoil, the FK 7.5 round is manufactured for the company’s lineup of “engineering-forward” pistols, such as the FK BRNO PSD. These are not your standard range plinkers, with the single-action pistol customized to offer rifle-like ballistics and precision from a short-barreled handgun platform.

The FK BRNO PSD uses a tilting-barrel, positive-lock mechanism with a patented recoil-attenuating system designed to handle the punchy, bottlenecked 7.5 FK cartridge, aka 7.5x27mm.

While the FK BRNO PSD is a multi-caliber shooter that can be had in more common chamberings like the ubiquitous 9mm Luger and potent 10mm, it really shines in the sporting market with the long-range FK 7.5. The gun can be configured to run other calibers with alternative barrels.

The zippy 7.5x27mm can push velocities close to 2,000 fps, and the high-pressure chambering requires a unique platform for flat-shooting results at long ranges. We can all but guarantee that a shooter with the FK BRNO PSD will be alone on any range here in the States, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of at all.
 
What range is long range? I shoot silhouettes out there at 200m with a revolver now. Was it designed for troop targets? What is the purpose of the design?

I've shot prairie dogs at 400y using the Contenders, double bagged, from a bench, I think that's long range...

This reminds me of the 357-45 development years ago and we know where that went...

I see no viable use for the cartridge, but you can think differently.
