Size vs. capacity, always a dilemma.
Capacity vs stopping power.

I am actually thinking of the 5.7, 20 rounds.

Otherwise I may build my own stick mag for my .380.

Its a mental project to come up with a counter weapon against a person wearing body armor, with the right choice of ammo the 5.7 with steel cores can defeat some body armor.

Would a hit on the armor from a heavy enough round or a lighter one one with high enough velocity be the equivalent of a hard body punch, or being hit with a baseball bat? In either case, could an untrained individual continue to function, or would he need a few seconds or even minutes of recovery time? Would that time perhaps save some lives?

I wish I had the answers...

There are offerings beside the steel core 5.7 that will also defeat llla body armor.

Pistols chambered for the 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev will perform similarly.
