Thinking about buying a 5.7

Sweet firearm I love my BUT it depends on what you want it for. I not sure but it is not a good self-defense firearm ( STOPING POWER) but I can be wrong.

I read the title "Thinking about buying a 5.7" and expected the body to say "Talk me out of it."

I love mine, and I carry it as well as use it for home defense. What specifically would you like to know?

I own 1 I really like it lightweight magazine hold 20 each total of 61 rounds. I'm not sure of knockdown power though it's a fast round got some after market ammo from ELITE AMMUNITION .... The specs look good on paper other than the tragedy at FORT HOOD I've have not got any real life feedback so it's in my safe, another reason I don't carry it is because not sure if it over penetrates ...... I need more info on it before I carry it!!!

I wasn't looking to replace a carry weapon I heard some BIG claims relating to the accuracy of this weapon. Reading some of the comments at the link a couple of you left this may be the nail driver in handgun i'm looking for, I own several handguns and can hold my own at pitol target ranges but nothing I own can shoot a tight group @ 50 Yards.
My interestis is the Quest for as many Accurate rounds down range as I can acheive with a handgun.

None of the factory rounds should over penetrate, and if you use EA's appropriate ammo, it won't over penetrate either. Protector I,I, S4, and S4M should be fine.

The Fort Hood assissin found it to be very effective, since he killed 12 or 13 and wounded about 32 others.

I wish Glock would come out with a Five-seveN.

Dude, NO! I truly don't need another Glock, my wife already hates me!

Ok, I'll compromise with you on this. Glock makes one, then MSAR has to make a conversion for their MSAR rifle. Only then may I reach true 5.7 peacefulness.
