One thing about the Five seveN, though - I love mine, but ammo ain't cheap and it's touchy to reload. Fun gun to shoot, flat trajectory, low recoil, but you have to deduct points for a cartridge that, when you show it to people, they say, "Awww, cute!" It's humiliating. I mean, when the Wehrmacht faced the Minutemen at San Juan Hill, did General Beauregard say "cute!"? I think not.

And who can argue with that?

I was shooting with a guy last weekend who said the FiveseveN pistol really screws up the case shoulder. The PS90 is chambered fine, but the pistol causes the shoulder to extend (bump) and becomes practically useless in a standard die. He said they make a special die just to re-align the shoulder for pistol-fired cases, but it cost him $300, so I suspect it’s a custom die.

I have a couple hundred 5.7x28 cases, but I’ve never reloaded them myself.
