I’m not a fanatic gun guy but I have what I have from a buying spree from before the last ban. Chinese stuff and Colt AR. I find the cheap 7.62 stuff to be more accurate and the 223 stuff to be a lot more expensive. P226 9mm works like a charm. I was just thinking it would be interesting to have the FiveseveN but is it practical? Very few sell it in gun stores but it is on the internet. It is not widely accepted by law enforcement or military as far as I can tell. I’ll talk to my friends that know about this stuff. I’m more of a Camera guy but when I start hearing ban language I get cautious of my future.
No, the FiveseveN isn’t practical. Ammo is not cheap or commonly available, civilian loads do not perform as well as even a basic 9mm hollowpoint, and you can forget about getting parts and such easily.
Also, like I said, the FiveseveN has been known to fire out of battery, i.e., EXPLODE.
5.7 was designed with full-auto in mind, intended to make a bunch of tiny holes instead of one big hole (the latter being more easily stopped by a vest). Don’t go 5.7 unless you have “da switch”.
