        Turkoid. Surprisingly well built and reliable, but it had a gnarly trigger and super tight slide fit. I understand why people want high end ones tho

      Just factor in the cost of 6 mags of hollow points, ie 120 rounds, into the cost of the gun; congrats, your gun is now 1020 bucks, no problem, it’s not like self defense ammo is something you have to constantly go through
      Also, the M&P exists in 5.7 now, totally normal and comfortable

          Funny you say that because if there were one area I'd say 5.7 is a clear winner, it would be as a survival round. Something to replace .17HMR or .22 magnum as it's safe to say it beats those, but not safe to say it beats 9mm or other well established handghn calibers at doing habdgun defensive stuff.

          It's definitely adequate if not overkill against varmints and very small game, that's one application I'd put it to work in. But the cost is certainly not justified since a plinking/varmint round should be cheap enough for you to stock up on enough to ride out the apocalypse and always be able to put rabbits on the table. Shooting a hog with it though, even I don't have the balls to do this, the hog will get pissed and rip yours off. Might as well shoot it with a .17HMR or .22mag...

            This is exactly why we need to shill all these morons into buying defensively useless .22 handguns, so the ammo becomes cheap enough that we can actually just use it as a .22 replacement.

      S&W came out with a 5.7 M&P that's gas-operated (not gas delayed like the P7 series) instead of blowback. I'll probably pick one up, the gas op should make the special plastic coating on the case unnecessary, and minimise neck stretch making reloading practicable.

        The case lube was never for the handguns, its for P90 magazines.

          no the case coating is to prevent the cases from sticking in the chamber and ripping apart due to the moronic blowback action.

            No, this is brainlet myth no different from fuddlore endlessly regurgitated in gun shops. FN's original FiveseveN handgun does not need specially coated brass the function. The coating mostly burns up after 1-2 firings and the cases can be reloaded 3 times easily before you loose too much material trimming the necks back down. They function and eject exactly the same without it.
            Stop regurgitating unsourced myths.

                5.7 brass had a dry lube coating before the FiveseveN handgun existed.

    I'll bite, I've been researching it and I'm not buying this round unless it becomes very cheap. Cheaper than 9mm, because it underperforms 9mm in areas that matter more than the areas it beats it in.

    Pros:
    >flatter shooting at longer distance
    >2-4 more rounds per mag
    >lower recoil

    Cons:
    >barrier penetration SUCKS, when shot say at a windshield or a .5" sheet of aluminum, 9mm is more likely to go through due to having more mass (I'll post vid of it sucking at barrier penetration)
    >hollowpoints are useless, inherent unreliable expansion (maybe 1 in 5 actually expand and they don't even become that wide), relies on fragmentation and tumbling which require ideal circumstances (range, barrel length) and target density. Expansion is a KNOWN RELIABLE wounding mechanism for handgun rounds, fragmentation and tumbling are not known reliable wounding mechanisms for handgun rounds.
    >loud as shit, needs to generate high velocity to work properly
    >requires a 5" barrel minimum, compacts and subcompacts aren't viable, you won't have ammo commonality between it and other smaller handguns you carry
    >does good at soft armor penetration but doesn't do as much damage past the armor as copper 9mm rounds that rape through the armor and continue to rape and penetrate deep
    >penetration in ballistics gel often does not meet the 12-18" minimum requirement

      >I'll post vid of it sucking at barrier penetration

      Notice these are out of 8" barrels too so the 5.7 should have enough of the velocity that it relies on. 9mm pushes through the piece of aluminum, 5.7 does not, barely dents it. If you're having to shoot through a hardened windshield or any barrier this is an area where it's going to perform poorly. Two comparisons would be .223 getting thrown off course by twigs and bouncing off barriers at range vs .30 cals punching through brush and barriers. Also one thing .40 cal still does better than 9mm is punches through light barriers like windshields better without diverting course as much. It just has more mass. You're losing a lot of mass going from a 9mm 90-147gr projectile to a 5.7mm 40gr-55gr projectile, and the 9mm projectile is ALREADY on the lower end of mass for a handgun round. We have shit like 10mm, .45, .40, etc. If you ask me 5.7 is cutting it too light, and depending too much on things that it can't achieve reliably (adequate velocity out of a 5" barrel, fragmentation, and tumbling).

      I want to like it, but it's not the most practical for a handgun round. It underperforms 9 in critical areas.

      I want to like it, but it's not the most practical for a handgun round. It underperforms 9 in critical areas.

      ALL of those considered, if you really want those pros that 5.7 has (achieving high velocity for a handgun round, shooting flatter, and penetrating soft armor) what you should be looking into is copper 9mm bullets. Copper is lighter than lead so the bullets are lighter, and achieve higher velocities. Copper also deforms much less than lead, so they can punch through barriers like armor and have the benefit of leaving a bigger hole than 5.7 once they're through. I haven't seen any tests on light barriers like windshields or car doors, I'm not sure I'd they divert more or less than a heavier lead 9mm bullet. But overall those copper bois perform pretty good. I think you end up with a more versatile weapon that's much cheaper to train with than 5.7. The cheapest ammo is 4x the cost of cheap 9mm. I'd invest in some copper rounds and wait on 5.7 to see if it's going to be adopted or if they fix the areas where it's inadequate.
