What mags accept 5.7 rounds? I want a 5.7 AR! View Quote ETA: FN makes 30 and 10 round magazines as well, but they're the same size as the 50s due to how the mag is retained in P90s and AR57s. |

I like 5.7x28mm but I am invested in the Glock platform from a training and equipment standpoint, so I went with 22TCM9R instead. I'd still love to have a PS90 though.

Great range toy, especially the SBR PS90. But if it were so wonderful, why are more police, Secret Service & militaries dropping it to move to....9mm? steel core AP will do everything the 5.7 does, with greater surface area & mass. I've operated on score of people--nobody ever complained about what they were shot with, they simply bled. That said, the bigger area & weight of a 9mm or larger, well, physics, and shit....nevermind. Arguing calibers is like arguing religion or politics. Don't even pretend it's a rifle round. View Quote But he told me to go ahead and shoot on the pistol ranges that day. I didn't renew my membership at that range, so I don't know what they eventually decided on the 5.7. |

One could say that about almost any subsonic round. There are other bullets that are cheaper and have close to the same ballistics. Bringing a round down to ~1100fps cuts into energy. Why shoot 308 sub's when a 45acp will do darn the same thing? It's nice to use the same rifle with different rounds than having to use different rifles. And yes those are expensive. But one could always roll their own cheaper. I don't take that a 5.7sub is basically a .22sub, I take it as a pretty cool round! To each their own. View Quote But a subsonic 55gr bullet is anemic. 300blk subs are kinda cool because of the mass and sectional density of the projectile. 5.7 is interesting with the hot ammo. |

Whats the difference between the PenetraTOR I-II-III and the DevestaTOR? View Quote It out performs FN SS190 Black Tip by quite a margin. REALLY nasty stuff. AND it's not classified as A.P. by BATF. The photos are no longer posted but Jay Wolf posted pics of a Level IIIA vest with CRISAT Plates over a water heater (to use as a torso). DevestaTOR shot COMPLETELY through the CRISAT Plates, the Level IIIA Vest (both sides) and the water heater. |

Oh and if they had it it appears to be over $2 a round (not absolutely positive because they don't bother listing how many rounds is in a box on that page but they sell their other stuff by 25 round increments) or $100 to fill a 50 rd magazine. |

I didn't say it was cheap, you get what you pay for. Machine turned projectiles, then anodized.
If all you can afford is Wolf then so be it. |

I hope you reload. It's the only way you will have any ammo for that thing. Coming from someone who shoots mil-surp and antique cowboy ammo. View Quote Have I done it? Yup. Did I screw up a whole mess of shells? Yup. Did I almost blow up a gun? Yup. Honestly, it's not genuinely worth reloading because it is such a finicky round to load. The cartridge can be genuinely explosive with a very small fudge factor, and working your way up is scary because of it being such a teensy difference between "This charge won't cycle..." and "KABOOOOM!!!" Then if you think you're gonna be snazzy and toss your old shells into your tumbler, you'd better not. There is a proprietary dry film lube on those shells and if you remove it, it isn't even a one shot gun anymore, unless you're saying one shot and stuck case. Ask me how I know this... I ended up just reloading semi dirty cases once and saying fuck this. Just buy the cheap stuff when palmetto has a sale and call it a day. It is a hilariously fun round, and the P90 is the ultimate take-a-chick-shooting rifle. The factor that most miss in defensive uses is that you can shoot as fast as you possibly can and keep all your rounds on a center of mass target. Would I feel undergunned with one? No. Do I carry it? No. There are far better choices. |
