That horrible plastic grip
Slightly expensive ammo Overpriced IMO ....but it maybe banned if the libs have their way so it may grow in value over time. |

The 5.7rnd has anemic terminal performance even if it does penetrate body armor.

I think ammo will come down. The thought of it being banned has some appeal though.

Senators, Dianne Feinstein, Chucky Schumer, Carl Levin and Sarah Brady don't want you to have one. Oh, you said talk you OUT of buying one.

I take it you've got a lot of wounded canaries or perhaps voles skittering about your place.
Not to mention either very poor judgement or too much expendable income. Ahh...Fuck it, buy it 'cause it makes your potty tingle.  Have fun.

Good luck getting the REAL ammo for it.
The ammo you can get isn't exactly a bargain either. I'll stick with more mainstream calibers like 45ACP, 9mm, 10mm |

Ammo is expensive and hard to find, at least around here.
It's on the big side as a CCW, and not the best choice (IMO) for that kind of money for a home defense weapon. Frankly, there are better ways to spend that much money. I shot one and loved it. The 'cool factor' alone made it fun to shoot, but I cant justify the price for what would really just be a safe toy. It serves no practical purpose for me that I dont have other, better tools. The best argument I can make FOR buying one though.....it will piss off liberals

Wouldn't be buying it for HD-got other things for that. I think the cool factor and it is supposed to be tack driver are whats getting me. It's definetly a lot of money for a toy, but you can't take it with you.

There are better and more effective PISTOLS for HALF the price.
There is better and more effective AMMO for about HALF the price. Many indoor ranges will not allow them. If you are so worried about what a few senators don't want you to have , go buy another AR-15 for the same money, it will take you farther.

Yeah what he said! they have only been making them since 1994(12 years) and they are selling like hotcakes for a handgun that cost that much...production is behind orders for them..wolf ammo going to start production this year, starline is going to make brass cases for reloaders... 1 bolt rifle and two more semi auto rifles have made in the caliber and are about to be marketed(thats besides the FN PS90), TC contender barrels are in the works...yep it will go away just like a Dardick Tround, maybee like today by lunchtime or something. |

Who exactly would be making these bolt and semi-auto rifles? As for the ammo, The whole purpose behind this pistol is to DEFEAT ARMOR. Without the specific ammunition to allow that it's just another .22 Mag.

I had money, all of it, waiting on a PS90.
I was getting it 600-800 cheaper than what most of you guys here are paying for them (silly). The ammo is the main reason why I no longer want it. It is an odd, expensive round and the people who make what is needed to do your own reloads know this so they charge a good clip as well. To me, the gimmicks are not worth it. I want to be able to shoot what I own and how much I want to shoot it. The ammo man, the ammo.... |

Hell, for ~$800, I'd build another AR and be well on my way to another Garand. That would make them sleep for shit too. |

Is anyone making a bolt gun or hunting style semi in this caliber? It's make a great light varmit round, and would be easier to reload than a .22 Hornet.

The safety is in a very smart place if you keep your finger along the frame prior to firing. In one quick motion, when the decision is made to fire, you can flick off the safety and start the trigger on its travel. |

Given the terminal ballistics of the 5.7 round...you'll be able to say, without hesitiation, that you're truly prepared to 'bust a cap' in someone's ass.
Outside of penetrating body armor at close ranges...why would you even want one? Answer: because you can! Good luck in talking yourself out of it, you won't!

Who cares about it's ballistic performance or polymer construction or price? It's another horse in the stable in my eyes, and it's the next pistol on my list. Why not? If you don't like it you could sell it just as easily... everybody wants one, even if they say they don't. Anger Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Sarah Brady, Diane Feinstein. Buy it. Then get and wear often a t-shirt that says you have an evil cop killer armor piercing pistol.

So what? She does not want you to have anything else either. Should I rush out and buy a Thompson Contender in .35 Whelen because of that?  (at least it would be more effective than a 5.7 pistol)

I've seen more robust controls on a Super Soaker. It looks like you could snap the plastic safety and slide catch right off by drawing it quickly from a holster.
I can't really talk you out of it, unless you hate having safe queens around. Might be a good thing to tuck away for a few years, because you damn sure won't be able to afford to shoot it anytime soon. |

+1 The REAL (armor piercing) ammo is not available, from what I understand. And the regular 5.7 ammo does not have the penetration charactersistics of the real stuff. |

The 5.7x28 ammo is so weak that it won't even go through drywall. 45 Auto, OTOH, will take down satellites and blow up tanks with a single shot. In fact, NASA has banned the use of 45 Auto in space because the shockwave from firing one in the vacuum of space will cause a tear in the space/time continuum.
