I hear there are certain people who can own these guns like police officers, military, etc...... Is this true and if I were to ever run across one used could I own it legally as a civilian?
They aren't restricted, I've owned one, ran into another guy today that has one, see them for sale in the shops all the time.
It's a neat gun.

Really? That's strange, I was reading an article on them and that's what it was stating. In that case, that's gonna be the next purchase. Thanks for the info!
This is Oklahoma, which for now is still America.

No mention of any restricted sales.

The pistol is not restricted. Just the AP ammo. FN has 5 or 6 diffrent loads for the pistol and the P90 all but two have been restricted by the BATF to LE and military use only.
The ammo for the civilian market WILL NOT penetrate Level IIA and Level IIIA Kevlar, Kevlar 129 or Spectra vests, contrary to popular myth put originated by misguided politicians and gun control advocates trying to advance their agenda. Ballistically, the 5.7 round is very similar to the .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) round.

Ok next question would be could it be used effectively as a ccw considering it has a 20+1 capacity? I know it's a little over kill with its capacity but you never know. I currently carry a S&W 4516TSW.
Id stick with the S&W. Unless you could get your hands on some of the Belgium LE ammo

Wow! That would leave a mark...
I thought the jury was still out on whether the original SS190 met the legal definition of AP:
Of course, I haven't taken apart a round and weighed it. Still, one could just handload some plain old lead core FMJ and get pretty much the same effect, right?
