    Default 5.7

    I own both pistol and they are excellent. The 5.7 is an amazing gun, really light and will make you feel like a marksman since it is so easy to shoot. 20 rnd in a mag, make for a lot of firepower in your hand. I was converted to it by a friend who carry a 5.7 as a truck driver in the middle east. His company only allowed one hand gun with 2 mags: one of his buddy was carrying a 1911 and run out of ammo in an ambush waiting for the army to rescue them, he was able to shoot (in the air) but kept the bad guys at bay.

    5.7 is a perfect round for home defense, since it will kill the bad guy (tumbling bullet make for horrendous channel wound) but not go through your house drywall killing your kids in the other room....

    Please don't listen to the BS about 5.7: This is a great round and the fn 5.7 is a great gun.

    I know man, if you go back and read I already corrected this misconception on page 1 or 2. The FiveseveN is still very high on my list, and I also after much research have determined it to be a great SD round, however at this point Im leaning toward the tactical in .45 just due to ammo availibility (get it anywhere) and ease of reloading. Once I get it down good only then will I attempt to reload 5.7 as everyone I have asked even on the fiveseven forum states it is a tricky and unforgiving round.
