In a SHTF situation I have 9 calibers covered, not counting gauges. Perhaps not in the depth you do but should rationing be a problem I’m diversified. I was thinking the 5.7 would add the 10th piece of the puzzle since it’s NATO it may be the only thing available if or when the SHTF. And it sure looks fun to shoot at Pistol League not to mention the WOW factor there ;o)
That’s a good, solid line-of-reasoning, Clint. Even if it’s NATO, it would still concern me that the ammo’s not so widely-available and so expensive, but maybe that will flatten-out and resolve itself with more time. Yet, if SHTF next Friday, it’d still be the scarcity/cost problem it’s been for past 2-3yrs. I’m wondering why the caliber hasn’t been more widely adopted. The same issue still surrounds the .357sig hardware and round, after 7-8yrs on-the-market; my G32 is still the “red-headed, step-child” in the massive Cannon T-54 dbl door gunsafe. I do have 10,000-rnds (Cor-Bon 125gr HP) for it, though, and got it cheap ($13/100) in a bulk co-op buy, 9yrs ago. It’s 8x ($122/100) the cost, now.d still be the scarcity/cost problem it
