        There's also some niche manufacturers. Elite Ammunition and Vanguard make legit armor piercing shit that outdoes FN's own blacktip (le,nl because ATF's definition of AP is based on materials, not ability to pierce armor), EA is impossible to find but Vanguard is easy but you do need to watch the page usually around a week or two if you want to catch it in stock.
        There's also R&R Weapons, they make a lot of weird and readily available special 5.7, but it's almost entirely fragmenting hollow point type shit that entirely misses the point of 5.7.

        My issue is that reloading it is actually pretty hard to do. You go from safe to dangerous load within 0.1gr of powder. If it was safer to load, it would be extremely cheap to do so with 5.56 bullets.

          That isn't even really the problem, the main issue with reloading this cartridge is that it's designed with very straight walls in order to work in the p90 magazine, and so it requires a lubricating coating in order to extract reliably, which you can't apply yourself. So while it's not that difficult to produce safe hand loads, they aren't going to be reliable.

So unless you're rich and/or willing to spend massive amounts of income on practicing hundreds and thousands of rounds in a round that costs 1$ a pop and it's hard and just as expensive to reload for... you're not practicing as much as you should be.

            Why?

            If you accept that 5.7, like any other pistol round, isn't creating permanent wound channels like a rifle then penetration is all that matters. Poke holes, lots of them, in vital areas. I do it with my .380 for warm weather carry and I would definitely do it with civilian 5.7 loads.

              Eh, I don't think there's probably much of a practical difference between a caliber that punch's .6" holes vs .7" ones(ex 9 vs .45). On the other hand a cartridge that's punching .2" holes or smaller(5.7 when it isn't at significant yaw) vs a .6" one or bigger is a way bigger gap. That isn't just arguing over marginal gains anymore, that's a hole that's 3 times bigger

              No shit, but irrelevant. Pistols aren’t rifles.
              >then penetration is all that matters.
              It’s the most important. Not all that matters.
              >Poke holes, lots of them, in vital areas.
              So you subscribe to the thought that everything from a pistol is only going to create straight line wound. Which fine, it’s debatable but no one can say certainly you are wrong. But even by your own metrics then 5.7 is stupid. If it doesn’t fragment, tumble, or create a large PWC with velocity, it’s a .224” bullet making a small wound. That’s pathetic. If you compare frontal surface area 9mm FMJ would have 251% more. A 9mm HP that expands to 1.5x it’s diameter, which is moderate expansion, would have 565% more frontal area than a 5.7 FMJ. Does holding 2-3 more rounds and slightly less recoil offset a wound track that’s 18% smaller? Or course not.

              If 5.7 doesn’t do anything differently with wounding mechanics then it’s shitty.

                Anonymous

                I'm not so much suggesting that every pistol shot will create a straight-line wound, bullets do weird shit in the human body, but I am suggesting that expansion is a secondary concern with pistol ammo because there's just not enough energy to create a dramatic difference in outcomes.

                I'm also agreeing that I don't think 5.7 is an ideal carry round, I'd prefer even my .380 over it, but I'm also of the mind that essentially any gun is enough gun for 99% of situations, and I'd sure recommend 5.7 over any rimfire cartridge or .25 acp. Maybe even .32

                A mildly expanding 9mm like an Hornady XTP would create a wound track 5 times larger than a .224” FMJ, using your a parameters. That is very significant. Again, even .380 FMJ (being the same diameter as 9mm) is 2.5x larger. That’s also significant. But I don’t think anyone (besides maybe you) is saying .380 is more potent or more effective than 5.7.

                >but I'm also of the mind that essentially any gun is enough gun for 99% of situations,
                I agree. I don’t dispute that. I’d even say a .22LR is fine 99% of the time. But that’s a separate conversation.

                A 25y zero is all you need and those rounds should be hitting roughly the same spot @ 25y zero. Hell you could probably go down to a 15y zero and be fine. Obviously you need to confirm that both rounds are hitting the same spot at that distance, but if they are then you are g2g in terms of training with the cheap ammo and carrying the good stuff for self defense. Feel free to say I am wrong but please explain why if you do, thank you.

                Not him, I'll defend it on vmax but the there is little extra to a nondeforming projectile even at those speeds in my opinion. It is what it is, a 22lr but better at penetrating, hope the better handling makes up for the worse terminal effects.

                Read your fricking own little cope paper moron. The above quote is about the tests in meat and your own source explicitly states any tearing was very small compared to a real rifle, and wouldn't have done shit for wounding.

              Only if the rifle round in question is .22Mag.
              Fackler et al have tested high speed projectiles in excess of 5000fps to study their wounding capabilities, to see if any as of yet unquantified mechanics existed. They found none. A .224 projectile at 2000fps isn't doing any magical damage to tissue, and it doesn't matter what the manufacturer claims.

              The only handgun round that starts to show massive TC volumes which approach intermediate rifle rounds is .44Mag. Some .44Mag loads can stretch tissue beyond elastic capacity, thereby increased permanent wound cavity volume. Not a single 5.7 load on earth, even fired from a rifle, is anywhere near this.

                No, moron. Ballistic testing isn't magic, its quantified knowledge, the mechanics are immutable. Projectiles destroy tissue by directly crushing it, and impelling it outwards, radially, away from the path of penetration. If a projectile does not stretch tissue far enough to permanently tear it then than is temporary cavity, non destroyed tissue.
                2000fps 5.7 is not magically more damaging than even higher velocity .44Mag carrying drastically more energy. No marketing photos can change the objective nature of reality.

            The vmax fragmenting have God frontal surface area and the recoil on these guns is extremely light. I see the appeal, whatever quality marksmanship you shoot now in 9mm you'll be noticeably faster with a 5.7 gun. If you handload and are willing to deal with the pain in the ass of reloading them it is there's people getting near 2000fps with vmax and it's still noticeably softer shooting.

        No and quit pretending it is, especially for range ammo. 9mm is less than half that.
        .45 is 20cpr cheaper and even 10mm is 10-15cpr cheaper. Why would I shoot 5.7 at 54cpr when I can shoot 5.56 at 65% of the cost. I can find .308 for 60-63cpr, which is less of an increase than going from another round to 5.7 and is a full sized rifle cartridge. None of this factors in reloading either, which is a pain in the ass for 5.7.

        It’s not about being able to afford it. It’s about the value compared to other options.

                This is some nu-fuddlore. The gap doesn't make the holster unsafe. It's still perfectly safe. I've carried AIWB for years hiking through the woods with a light bearing holster and never has my gun even come close to firing itself.

                I mean having gaps around the trigger large enough to allow intrusion has been just about always considered a design flaw, with few exceptions(namely those leather quick draw ones). Anytime ive seen or heard of another holster maker with sloppy fitment allowing possible intrusion people have been quick to call them shit for it. Not arguing its a serious problem or not, just pointing out that complaining about that isnt new.

                Didn't people years ago figure out that you can use 55gr .224 bullets? Cases aside that's cut costs down a bit and while you'd lose some speed you can readily get "ap" projectiles in that form. I remember Barnes had to stop selling their copper solids for this reason or something. I'm sure you'd lose velocity but I bet the right load could still get you 1800fps or better.

                > I bet the right load could still get you 1800fps or better.

      5.7 actually has excellent terminal performance, as seen by the fort hood shooting where everyone who was shot in the torso died and the only people who lived were those who were shot in the limbs. While any pistol round *can* kill in a single torso hit, it's not to be expected and seeing multiple back to back kills on every target shot in the torso in a single shooting event is pretty damn impressive.

        a single shooting spree I don't think is enough of a sample size to really say either way.

        Based on that singular event, sure it has pretty decent terminal characteristics, but without a larger sample size it's basically impossible to say with any degree of certainty.

        With rounds like 9mm or .40S&W we have dozens or even hundreds of well-documented shootings to draw statistical relevance from. We just don't have that depth of understanding with 5.7

          would likely underpenetrate, marginally expanding 5.7 loads are typically getting 12-13" of penetration
          >or Gold Dot load
          actually there is one, expansion is less than ideal though

          The thing with 5.7 is its at this awkward spot where it just doesnt have quite enough power. You want 1800fps IV bare minimum to even start to see some reliable increase in wounding from TSC with an expanding .224" projectile, and thats assuming good expansion. To get that sort of velocity you have to drop down to the 35-40gr range and run a spicy load, which typically will just barely hit that velocity while just barely penetrating adequately. Otherwise you choose between adequately deep .22lr tier wounds or under penetration with SOME TSC wounding.

              5.7 doesn’t have the case capacity or OAL to load 60gr bullets. 50-52 would be a stretch since you’re going to lose too much velocity to make it good. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but I don’t think I am.

                Are you fricking high? Subsonic means below ~1125 fps. Lead core rounds aren’t going through at 1100fps. At 700 yards M193 from a 16” barrel is dropping below 1200 fps. That’s not penetrating a vest, let alone both sides of one. If it could, then a 40gr velocitor from a .22 would beat IIIA, which it doesn’t.

                I’ll admit, I’m impressed and didn’t know it could do that. However SB193 is not just a pulled M193 55gr loaded into 5.7. SB193 has a steel jacket covered by a thin copper jacket. That’s why it penetrated. Just a standard lead and copper bullet won’t do the same. M193 from a rifle at 700 yards isn’t penetrating both sides of a vest. I still don’t think it would go through 1.

                There's been two versions sold as SB193. The original 55-gr version was an utterly vanilla lead-core, copper-jacket FMJ and does not attract a magnet.
                That's the one in the video I posted before.

            The only steel core you can in .224 is SS109 which is too long and heavy for 5.7. It would only beat IIIA anyhow which you can do already.
            >I remember Barnes had to stop selling their copper solids for this reason or something
            No they didn’t. Copper (normal copper Barnes uses) isn’t an armor piercing material

              Yet it still pierces IIIA in testing. Even if you don't consider it armor piercing, the fact it can pierce armor is good enough for government work.

                Correct. I wasn’t denying it can’t pierce soft armor. However
                >Barnes had to stop selling their copper solids for this reason or something
                Isn’t true. That’s my point. They didn’t have to stop selling it because it can beat armor.

        The gun selection is fine. But until we have better ammo options there isn’t a point to switch. Also if you want IIIA penetration carry a 4” 9mm and use Lehigh 68gr XDs. I’ve penetrated a IIIA panel with them from a 3” barrel in a Hellcat. A 4” gives you more range to penetrate and should work against better vests.

    I’m on the side of the 5.7, it does everything 9mm gays tout their cartridge does but better.
    >more ammo capacity
    >less recoil for shot placement
    >same damage because “all handguns cartridges have the same ballistics”
    The only reasonable argument against it is cost and difficulty reloading. Both of which aren’t an issue for most people and the cost can go down if it grows more popular.
    NOW with that said, I’ll let you know some information I’ve heard from a spec ops veteran (can’t remember what he was exactly) who saw a lot of combat.
    He said that 5.56 is about as effective as you’d expect. Like 1-3 shots landed usually killed depending on shot placement and distance. He claimed that .308/7.62x51 was devastating and would drop people like a sack of rocks no matter the variables.
    Somehow, idk how he knew this because I didn’t know anyone used 5.7 in the armed forces, but he said it was a weak shitty round that required a mag dump essentially to kill someone.
    I don’t necessarily believe him but he seemed credible as a person.

        I get where you are going, but 45 is technically also a viable carry round, and it's even further down the same scale. Less shots, slower shots, more "stopping power".

    That's a pretty cool niche gun, all 5.7s might as well come with threaded barrels since you need a long ass 5" barrel minimum to get decent ballistics. The grips also have to be longer since the round is so long. I wouldn't say 5.7s are good carry guns, they need those long barrels and long grips. It's an ok performing round in some areas, flat shooting and AP capabilities. But you need to look up expansion and penetration tests. They don't always penetrate to the FBI minimum and almost never reliably expand. Not a good all around handgun/self defense round since expansion is the primary mechanism of harming the target. 5.7 on the other hand is only good when you use the AP rounds and only good at AP when using them. That's what it was designed for and what it does good at (for a round that can be fired out of such small guns) but it does not do better than the plethora of other well established self defense handgun rounds.

        They don't tumble. Go look up some gel tests yourself. I don't think you'll be impressed.

        With very specific and hard to find ammo types, it does alright. Penetration is always garbage, even out of the 16" barrel PS90, even with the AP ammo. I guess I'm just impressed by the fact that a small .22-esque round can make a decent wound channel for the first 4-5" of penetration, but that isn't really adequate. I wouldn't invest much in this round unless I needed a small package to get through soft armor and that was my only concern. I would however throw my money at any company who makes a gun as sexy as these 5.7s but in more practical calibers.

            It really isn't. The hottest 9mm comes in at 500 ft/lbs (+P+) and the hottest .45 ACP (+P) comes in at 800 ft/lbs. .45 ACP expands anywhere from .7-.9" while 9mm usually ranges from .5-.6". .45 ACP also has a much larger permanent wound cavity. The only argument for 9mm is that you get more attempts at a cns hit and it's more controllable.

                Only 100 ft/lbs over only one fifth to one third more of a inch is going to have a negligibly bigger wound cavity.
                It'll be measurable, even visual in ballistics gel.
                But not enough to cause bleed out at an actionably different rate.
                And as you said, you get more attempts with 9mm.
                If you're min maxing your chances, there's no reason to carry .45 this day and age.

              Not enough of a difference to make a difference. Consider that 5.56, a relatively small rifle round, has an average of about 1200ft/lbs. Neither of those is coming even close to that.
              >.45 ACP expands anywhere from .7-.9" while 9mm usually ranges from .5-.6"
              This only matters in the absolute edge case where you miss an artery or vital organ by a tiny fraction of an inch. If you actually hit someone in the heart or brain, then it doesn't matter if it's a 50. or a .22, they're deal all the same.
              >.45 ACP also has a much larger permanent wound cavity.
              Sure, but considering the points above you're talking about a difference of your assailant bleeding to death in 4 minutes vs. 5 minutes. As far as stopping an attack goes, again it's not enough difference to make a difference.
              >The only argument for 9mm is that you get more attempts at a cns hit and it's more controllable
              Yeah, but the thing is, those are the most important things for a pistol round to be good at. When it comes to pistol rounds literally all that matters is shot placement and penetration. Everything else might as well be discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Not even trauma surgeons can tell the difference between wounds from different pistol calibers, Stoppin' Powah is and has always been a huge meme, and real life isn't a video game where bigger number = more gooder.

    5.7 has always been cool and the more guns will be chambered in that caliber, the better. 9mm and 45 are inherently much heavier round, so 5.7 can only be better as a carry round since the lethality is equivalent.

    Because they chambered moronic guns for it. Do you want a 30sc 1911 or m&p that has enough of a capacity in 9mm?
    If they made a 8-9 rnd p238, I'd buy it.

    Niche round, same as other big pistol rounds

    It doesn't get fast enough out of a 5" barrel to outperform 9mm like it does out of 10" it's just a 5.7mm ice pick, 9mm can expand at least

      Judging by the tape measure on the table, those permanent cavities look like they're ~.75" or more.

        The absolute state of the average dunning-kruger 5.7 paypig. Ballistics gelatin was never meant to model wound diameter and clear gel isn't actual ballistics gelatin at all.

          The purpose of it isn't to perfectly model effects in human tissue, moron. It's to compare different bullets/cartridges/etc. in a repeatable medium. Hence the second fricking video that shows it compared to other common cartridges.

          Kek, the irony.

    Why isn't 9x25 Dillon being pushed, then? 90gr moving 1900 FPS doesn't kick nearly as bad as 155gr going 1400. Add a comp and the recoil is like a .32 ACP.

    Im actually going to get this and carry it. Carry ammo is expensive already and I have carried a glock 34 for quite a while with a spare mag.

      I recommend the PSA Rock, I can tell you that the trigger kicks ass from personal experience and it's like... $500 with enough mags and a holster?
      you could also put a deltapoint micro on it (does The Castle Arms still have them half off?)

    It's an interesting round out of a 9" barrel.
    It's pretty stupid out of a handgun, IMO.
    5.7" handguns only make sense as companion guns to a larger weapon. A Ruger 5.7 pistol paired with pic related would be interesting.

      its hell, i like 5.7 but it feels like no one is genuine about its capabilities. its not a rifle round, its just a nicer pistol round 🙁 it doesnt deserve hate or eternal praise

    I don't understand the appeal of necking down in pistol ammo. It is asking for fire ball.
