That price isn't to bad since the original steel frame version was closer to $6,000
Also it shoots 7.5fk and with a barrel swap it shoots 9mm and another barrel swap 10mm

Don't really see the appeal to the 7.5FK, but I prefer sectional density and momentum over speed and energy in a handgun, especially a hunting handgun. That said, with a 9mm and a 10mm barrel included with an apparently very well-constructed firearm for $1,700, it's a good deal. Hell, a Glock with two extra barrels, mags, and a few upgrades can get you over $1,000 pretty quick.
I have watched the original videos of the first pistol they released, they were droping real decent size deer or whatever it was (cant remember off the top of my head) at 75y.. iirc the 7.5 is pretty much .44mag ballistics in a semiautomatic (similar to the idea .357sig or 10mm trying to be .357mag but I believe the 7.5 comes closer as the gun was built around the cartridge vs trying to make say a glock 19 hit as hard as a .357mag)

It's definitely a capable hunting round, but the 7.5FK and .44 magnum have totally different ballistics. The energy is in the ballpark (a lil less than my moderate handload with a 200 grain bullet around 1400 fps), but Remington's original factory spec is a 240 grain lead bullet at 1400 fps, which handily beats the 7.5 in energy and crushes it when it comes to momentum. The .44 is a deeper penetrating, bone crushing round that makes a bigger hole. A closer comparison, I think, would be comparing it to a .30 carbine.
To not sound like I'm knocking the caliber, the 7.5's advantages are a much flatter trajectory, more capacity, and faster follow-up shots. Getting .30 carbine ballistics out of a pistol with a 6" barrel is impressive. The cartridge's pedigree is obvious. It was developed as a 100 meter combat handgun cartridge for some operators (fact) and when the operators said "nah", FK Brno turned around and figured they could always sell it to wealthy European hunters and Americans (purely my speculation).

Military Arms Channel just released a video on this (on Patreon, going public in a few days I'd reckon) - he was sent the new PSD free of charge.
It was pockmarking one of his steel targets that was only rated for handgun, but the recoil didn't seem that bad. He also has a video showing it against watermelons but I haven't watched that one yet. He plans to test it against body armor also.
Certainly an interesting round!
edit: 800pm - I watched the armor testing vid - spoilers!

Defeated soft armor, but IIIA hard armor stopped it, with some back face deformation. You'd live from the two shots he did, but you'd hurt for a while.. The cavity shot on the pork ribs+watermelon was impressive!
