Can I use my FN Five seveN for concealed carry?

When we see "everybody" in body armor....

Like I mentioned... Self defense ain't spec ops.

Try again.

Well I guess it'll only take "one guy" in body armor to ruin your day...

You guys must live in some bad 'hoods...

I have to figure that the FBI, NYPD, Evan Marshall and every other ballistics consultant will get aboard the 5.7 train soon.

When that "one guy" is no longer a statistical anomaly ... I will be slinging a .308 daily.

But... I may check my homeowners policy.... More apt to get hit by space junk.

As with any round it's about shot placement, all the time we hear of what round is better than the other but what it comes down to is can you place the shot in the vital area? A .22 placed in the right spot will be just as deadly.

Ahhh.... Right on cue. The old "shot placement" saw.

Sounds good shooting bull on a square range....
Any of you guys tried to "place a shot" while you and "the other guy" are both moving?

Lots of people have died resultant 22 and other sub calibers..... The next day... Or after they held on long enough to finish their assault

Defensive ammo... Adequate defensive ammo needs to deliver enough punch and trauma to stop a bad guy... Nerve trauma, joint damage, bleeding and bruising internal organs even if the shot is not "placed" in a perfect spot.
Defensive use of a firearm insists on different protocals than offensive shooting...defensive shooting is never precise or elegant in nature.

They don't really penetrate far at all with most loadings. I'd definitely shoot a pig with a variety to see what loads are suitable for carrying.

First he must have a pig to shoot it at right?

 

[aeropb]

I'm sure you can acquire one

Well said, and for the record I wasn't entirely saying you were wrong about better calibers(I carry a .45 myself). I'm just a fan of the 5.7 in a pistol, neat round I wouldn't 2nd guess it for personal defense.

Wow!!! This thread is all sorts of fail. "My penis is bigger than yours." "No my penis is bigger than yours." "It takes my big .45 penis to knock her up as opposed to your 5.7 penis." Grown men arguing about caliber size. WOW!!!
