Why would you want to buy a Glock 57!

If I had the $800 I’d have one tomarrow, buy that bitch.

If you're wanting something that will penetrate a level II vest get a 357sig.

All of them! (do it for the children)

357 SIG is great but isn't ammo just as expensive as 5.7x28? It looks like 357 SIG is about 28cents a round. That's just under the 30c-35c/rd for 5.7x28 (normal prices).

Do NOT get the Five-seveN because liberals hate it, and the "overglorified 22 WMR" cartridge that it fires.

OK I'm over my craving for the five seven--for now. Mrs rick16 thanks everybody for their negative comments discouraging me from this gun. Actually it was the high cost and avail. of the ammo that convinced me. I did see a Browning High Power......hy.gif

No, the .357 Sig generally is about $12-15/box, while the 5.7 is closer to $20-22/box.  5.7 is in high demand, and so long as it is you'll be hard pressed to find a box of 50 for less than $20.  Normal prices.

Can't go wrong with a HP.  I just got a 9mm Mk III a few days ago and I'm loving it.

Quoted: Went to a gun shop yesterday looking for some thing else but saw one of these and played with it for a while. Now I really really want one. HELP

 What do you want help with?  Buy the damn thing!  20 rounds of goodness, lightweight, 'sexy'. . . what more could you want?

Well damn. I must have been hallucinating when I ordered boxes of 5.7x28 JHP for less than $16/box.

I did see bulk 357 SIG for about 28c/rd (lowest I could find within 30 seconds on the internet). The prices are comparable, but 357 SIG is more available for now.

I wouldn't be too worried about 5.7 ammo availability and price later in 2006 and 2007. Right now, most people don't even have the PS90 and they're buying $3000+ worth of mags and ammo. The Five-seveN is out NOW, along with the mags. Just pick up some ammo as it becomes available. All you need is 15-20 rd in a mag for CCW or home defense.

When a few more big ammo makers see the demand for 5.7, and how cheap it is to make, they'll jump on board.

The first time I saw one of the FN Five Seven it was in a gun shop were it was being taunted as being able to shoot thru body armor.  I picked it up and looked it over and saw the price tag and the ammo and its price.   Since I have a S&W 500 mag ammo prices do not scare me if I want something.  What I have learned thru the years is research something new before you buy it.  I went home and pulled up the FN on the internet and checked out the Five Seven.  It offered me nothing I needed.  Who has a hobby of  collecting things we need though?  I still passed.

Wow! $16/ box?  Makes me want a Five seveN even more...
I was talking about the prices in the local gunshop, they had a box of 50 for $21.95, but damn! That's a steal!  I'm shopping on the internet for ammo more often!
