It's definitely more of a boutique, niche cartridge. However, it's a NATO standard cartridge and it's got very very little felt recoil. I am going to give the round, and the pistol, a while to percolate | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I've never considered FN 5.7 as much of a self defense caliber. That's what the radicalized lunatic doctor used to mass murder his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas and the investigators mentioned it was a good thing he didn't use a 9mm or .45ACP weapon as they were sure the body count would have been considerably higher. The 5.7 ammo is also too expensive for me to plink with so I guess I don't really see a purpose for the caliber at all. |
