I plan on carrying a 5.7 too, once I get everything all taken care of
Slacker. I'll have another tax stamp for an SBR before you ever get your CCW.

Jefpainthorse said:I can think of at least 3 other calibers I'd rather carry for self defense... and .380 is not in those 3 (for those who thought it was on the list).
I can see those high speed 22's ending up way down the street, leaving a ice pick hole in a bad guy....
Read a little of the linked thread... my opinion stands... but I stand corrected.about terminal performance.. 5.7 seems to have poor penetration. Sounds like a poor choice to me....

I would be more concerned than anything about the over penetration of the 5.7 round. But I fully admit I am ignorant about the gun and the caliber to be honest, I just know it is a really, really hot load. Anyone have any insight in this area???
Have you ever seen a varmint round hit a coyote? Poor penetration is the direct result of a massive energy dump. What's the saying, a pistol is to fight your way to a rifle, not when your pistol shoots a rifle round...
Watch this and ask yourself if your .45 or .357 could do it
