What is 7.5 FK Ammunition?

7.5 FK (also called 7.5 FK BRNO or 7.5×27mm) is a high-velocity, bottlenecked pistol cartridge created in the Czech Republic by FK BRNO. It was built to deliver rifle-like speed and flat trajectory from a duty-sized handgun. Think “bridge” ammo: faster and flatter than common pistol rounds, yet still in a handgun package. Specs include a 27 mm case, 35 mm overall length, 10.8 mm base/rim, and C.I.P. max pressure around 350 MPa (≈50,760 psi).

A Short History of 7.5 FK

FK BRNO developed the cartridge between 2009–2014 and launched it with the FK BRNO Field Pistol. The design goal was a flat-shooting, accurate pistol round with energy rivaling hot .357 Magnum loads, but in a service-size semi-auto. The first platform was the premium steel Field Pistol, later joined by the PSD polymer model to broaden access.

Story matters here. The 7.5 FK grew from a real-world need: hit harder, reach farther, and keep recoil manageable. That origin drives the excitement you feel the first time you ring steel at 100 yards with a handgun.

Types of 7.5 FK Ammo 

• F5 / F5HV – All-copper, monolithic nose-discarding hollow point. The front section breaks away on impact, leaving a sharper ~7 mm meplat to drive deep and straight. It’s accurate for defense and medium game up to roughly 200 lb out to 100 yd. Typical advertised speed is near 2,000 fps from a 6″ barrel.

• S95 JHP – FK-labeled 95-grain jacketed hollow point with published ~2,000 fps and ~850 ft-lb energy. A flat-shooting option for extended-range handgun work.

• CFN (Controlled Flat Nose) – A controlled-expansion/penetration profile, often listed around 1,950 fps in FK materials. Good for consistency through barriers while keeping trajectory tame.

You’ll also see 7.5 FK loads offered through US importers and retailers. Product pages frequently restate FK’s ballistic claims and use-cases, which is helpful when comparing hunting vs. defensive roles.

Specifications of the 7.5 FK Cartridge

• Case type: Rimless, bottleneck

• Bullet diameter: ~7.8 mm (0.307″)

• Case length: 27 mm

• Primer: Small pistol magnum

• Max pressure: ~350 MPa (≈50,760 psi)
  These numbers come from the C.I.P./FK data and give the 7.5 FK its “long, slim, fast” character. Wikipedia+1

Design: What Makes 7.5 FK Different?

The cartridge is not a necked-down version of another pistol round. It’s a clean-sheet 7.5×27 mm with a robust case engineered for higher pressures than typical handgun calibers. Pair that with long, sleek bullets, and you get high sectional density and low drag, which help with deep penetration and energy retention downrange. In short, it was designed to fly flat and hit hard from a pistol.

What is 7.5 FK Ammo Used For?

• Hunting (medium game): Loads like the F5 are marketed as suitable for medium game (up to ~200 lb) within about 100 yd when the shooter and conditions are right.

• Personal defense / duty carry (platform-dependent): High energy and reliable terminal profiles make it compelling where the platform is supported and recoil is managed.

• Practical/steel matches and long-range pistol fun: The flat trajectory makes 75–150 m hits more realistic for capable shooters using appropriate sights or optics.

As always, match your load to your state’s laws and your purpose.

7.5 FK Ammo Ballistics 

Published 7.5 FK numbers (FK/secondary sources) show ~2,000 fps from a 95-gr bullet and ~845–850 ft-lb at the muzzle from a 5–6″ barrel. At ~100 yd, retained energy around ~548–577 ft-lb has been cited, reflecting strong downrange punch for a handgun. Max pressure sits near 350 MPa.

Best 7.5 FK Ammo 

For hunting / field use:

• FK BRNO F5 (or F5HV) – Copper monolithic, nose-discarding HP. Excellent straight-line penetration, designed for medium game. If you’re stalking hogs within 100 yd, this is the go-to.

For defense / all-around:

• S95 JHP (~95 gr @ ~2,000 fps) – Strong shock plus useful penetration. Feeds well in FK platforms and keeps that flat, fast profile.

For training / range (when available):

• CFN / ball-profile loads – Choose consistent, clean-burning options and buy in bulk at SmokyMountainsGunsAndAmmo.com to keep your cost per trigger-press down.

7.5 FK Ammo vs 9mm

If you’re wondering 7.5 FK vs 9mm, here’s the quick, data-driven view:

• Velocity & Energy: 7.5 FK runs about ~2,000 fps (95 gr, ~845–850 ft-lb). Premium 9mm +P (125 gr) is often around 1,250 fps (~430 ft-lb) from a 5″ barrel. The 7.5 FK delivers roughly double the muzzle energy in many tables.

• Trajectory: 7.5 FK’s higher speed gives you a flatter arc and less wind drift at 50–100 yd. That boosts hit probability on small steel or vitals at distance.

• Recoil & Cost: Expect more recoil and higher cost per round with 7.5 FK. This is performance ammo, not bargain plinking fodder. (See typical US retail listings for current pricing.)

Bottom line: if you want reach and energy from a handgun, 7.5 FK beats 9mm on raw ballistics. If you want cheap practice and widest availability, 9mm still rules.

FK BRNO 7.5 Ammo

The cartridge rides best in its native pistols: the FK BRNO Field Pistol and the lighter FK BRNO PSD (which also supports 10mm/.40 and 9mm conversions with kits). Specs show ~5.3–6″ barrels, ~16-round mags, and duty-size dimensions. That’s how 7.5 FK achieves its speed while keeping a controllable footprint.
