Then maybe I could buy that FN Five-seveN I've got my eye on! :-)

The thing I find most intriguing about this round is the big, black, hole you find when you go looking for first hand reports on it's effectiveness.

Lots of hearsay and naysay available from "expert" opinion peddlers, but damn little in the way of After Action Reports, or terminal ballistics out there for a round used by so many LE agencies and foreign military organizations.

It would seem to me the best way to employ this round is to shoot "at" something, as opposed to just trying to score hits on the BG.

Good point. Now that you mention it, that's absolutely true; I've never seen a thing about it. I guess I'm just taken with the fact that I could quickly let loose with 10 handgun rounds that have the velocity of a rifle bullet but cause hardly any recoil, yet STILL have 20 rounds left in the magazine in case the BG wants to threaten me further. But at a thousand dollars a pop... I'll do what I always do -- wait. And dream. :-)
