considering saving up for a 5.7, opinions/thoughts on the handgun itself or the round fired?
Opinions/thoughts on the 5.7?

Neat little handgun. I enjoyed mine before I sold it. Be careful what magazine size you buy because your state could regulate it as "high capacity". Ammo is more expensive since it is a custom round not often found in gun stores, or at least as often as 9mm and other normie rounds
Benjamin Peterson
If you have the cash to burn, go for it.
Otherwise, just get something that is cheaper to feed, like 22.lr or 9mm
Remember- you will spend more in ammo than you will in the firearm and magazines
Ian Walker
this.
firing custom ammo from FN. It's hard to find and when you do, its expensive
Jose Peterson
the pistol looks sick but 50c per bullet is really steep
Aaron Torres
If it was good enough for Sam Fisher, it's good enough for me.
Jonathan Howard
American Eagle is like 30-35 cpr, that's the same ball park as brass 30 carbine.
Aaron Johnson
The custom bullets are a lil over $2 a round. Shoot one and you’ll love it.
Dylan Campbell
You’ll digg it
Ayden Campbell
If you can somehow acquire armor piercing rounds, then yes. Otherwise, spend your money on something else.
Levi Roberts
Elite ammunition makes them-not that overpriced for what they are
Mason Wood
If they made a version with a red dot mill/cut, then maybe I'd get one.
Aiden Fisher
It's fun, but I'd say the ps90 is more fun.
Nicholas Moore
With the lack of metal in the slide I think a arm mount might work better if they were an option
Adrian Wood
I have a ps90. I feel bad for buying this gun. Didnt know how fucking stupidly expensive the 5.7x28 round was. Thinking about selling my ps 90 now.
Jaxon Torres
The slide is metal with a polymer sleeve.
William Sullivan
great gun for pig hunting.
poor caliber for wild hogs though.
Chase Anderson
The FN 5.7×28mm is a viable round, but just not that popular or easy to find. I wouldn't buy a gun with that chambering unless I stockpiled 1k to 3k rounds and invested in additional bullets and appropriate reloading equipment. I already shoot 9mm, .38/.357, and .45acp handguns, and would rather spend money on mags, ammo, and accessories for what I have rather than invest in an oddball round that might be unavailable in the future.
Jonathan Watson
7/5 would definitely operate with
Mason Moore
Prepper style is no style.
Ryan Diaz
Don't they have dies for this cartridge? can't you just reload to bring the cost waaaay down?
Austin Scott
No because the round is proprietary FN. Until they release that so it can be SAAMI spec no dies.
Jason Peterson
I think Elite is out of business now, right? After the whole ATF raid fuckery.
Julian Diaz
Paying ~50 cents for basically 22 mag is dumb 10mm better snowflake round.
Wyatt Foster
except RCBS, lee, and lyman all makes dies.
Anthony Wright
Yes and no. You can, but it's a reeaaalllyyy tight thing on the handguns. There's a proprietary coating, so resizing and cleaning brass isn't a thing you can do. It's either good to go still, or it isn't. There's no official load data, that I'm aware of. You're in the weeds. What's worse, you're in the weeds on a cartridge that is INSANELY sensitive on powder. A few tenths, and your gun explodes kind of shit. If you're cool with skirting all that, and you're careful, then yes. You can do it. I'm sort of new to reloading, and I have the components. I've yet to actually do it, but I have them.
Adrian Long
Call Galen and interesting round but honestly I would probably just buy 9 mm 90 grain + P CorBon. Or something like that if I wanted a faster round from an autoloader
Xavier Reyes
Brass life is shit, due mainly to the fact that all 5.7 actions are straight blowback.
The case thickness is very low, and blockback actions stretch its should about 0.1" when fired. You might get 1 safe reload out of it.
Christopher Diaz
Cool gun and interesting round*
Jaxson Adams
I see this constantly repeated, but it's bullshit. It's "basically 22 mag" in the sense that 5.56 is "basically 22 mag". Or that .40 Cal is basically 10 mm. If you give absolutely no fucks about ballistics, then sure. It's the same size bullet, I guess.
Noah Parker
None of which are known to meet FN's 5.7 spec, because they don't publish it.
You can guess when reloading handgun rounds but I value my eyesight more than the few dollars I could save.
Joshua Hernandez
Kinda this. I've only seen people run reloads through the ps90. And the main guy who does that (again, note that it's ONE DUDE) has like 6 ps90s. So he's not concerned about one getting fucking kaboomed. And he says right off that his data he doesn't feel is safe in the five seven.
Charles Davis
>*teleports behind you*
Nothin personal, kiddo.
Luis Carter
wow thats fucking ridiculous. I don't bother with a gun I can't reload unless its some obscure rimmed round, and even then I hesitate.
Oliver Ross
Why does he feel safe with it? Hornady and tons of other makers have load data. What's the big deal?
Leo Gray
But user .40 S&W IS basically 10 mm when you look at factory loadings
Christian Roberts
>does
Doesnt
Josiah Sullivan
What, can't use the CIP specs?
Luis King
Ah yeah tokarev sabot
Xavier Brown
$300
David Clark
Jordan Hernandez
OP, you can get SS198LF rounds or other LEO/Mil only rounds on gunbroker, ammo websites, or any other places online.

Gavin Reyes
22tcm and 22tcm9R are objectively better than the 5.7 while being more cost effective and does not fragment on impact with the hollow points
Andrew Hernandez
bullshit no hoodrat has a fiveseven
Nolan Evans
Wrong.
Hoodrats can have very good/expensive guns, or very shitty ones.
Not that user with the story but:

>Fuck it, this thing has been sitting here months
>Whatevers
>Months Later BATFE calls, guess what gun they are calling about.
Dylan Kelly
Also
They seem to like 5.7, 7.62x39, 40, 10mm.
Whitey seems to prefer 5.56, 7.62x51, 9mm, 45 ACP.
Evan Russell
You examined the round. After a guy got shot with it, leaving an exit wound. Just lying there next to the body I'm assuming. And you knew it was 5.7. After your little fanfic of having a good job and being the cool white guy.
Right.
Brody Reed
nice larp, faggot
Luis King
Hold on, you need to get over to the FN thread so you can suck their dick about how great it is.
Levi Bailey
Meme gun when you can get a better gun chambered in .22 TCM for 1/3 the price of a 5.7.
Caleb Wood
Overpriced .22 magnum
