On my list of “To Get”. Great little round.

I don’t see the big advantage of buying a gun in that caliber. It’s not like 5.56 is a powerhouse, but at least it’s widely available and relatively cheap. I wouldn’t want something less powerful for self-defense. I’ll stick with 7.62x39 myself.

I take it the reviewer doesnt have to buy his own ammo. 5.7x28 whew... Expensivo.

Looks fun to shoot, but I don’t see it for much beyond that.

I’ll stick with AR & AK, which seems to cover the carbine niche for me.

PSA has the ammo on sale for $17.99 right now. Even then 36 cents a round seems a little pricey for something that lightweight.

I have the pistol, and really like it.

What I’d really like to go along with the pistol, is a bolt action rifle. Savage started to make one, then dropped the idea.

Or what would be absolutely perfect for my wants, a slightly scaled up Ruger 10-22 but that uses the pistol mags, in that round.

It's a .22 Magnum!! Hehehe. d;^)

BUT.. I will say that a P90 is my favorite "backup" in Rainbow Six Vegas 2. And even there it has crap penetration.

[papertyger]

Firing a 27-grain lead-free hollow point at a full, upright 12-ounce beverage can did not produce a complete penetration...

Yeah. Color me skeptical.

I need one of those but, for sure, they aren’t Cali legal...

I own a FN Five seveN pistol, and I love it. Accuracy is top notch for a man of my meager abilities and I am a fan of carrying a 21 round sleeper to a target shoot while my Barreta brethren have to reload after only 17 tin cans are laid down. As the article states, recoil is a non factor. Ammo can be had. Bulk buying when a sale occurs does ease the price sting. My rounds cost just a nick under $.40 per. My one and only complaint is that the sucker is LOUD! Hearing protection is a must and it should be something to think about before using this as a defensive piece.

Last quibble. I've never shot the non lead frangible round that the author says won't go through a 12 oz soda can, but the round I shoot will go through a 3/16" cast iron spinner target without spinning the target at 40'.
