I have been interested in a five seven lately. To bad he didnt have any data about the 5.7x28mm round. Anybody know about any tests that have looked at that round vs more common SD rounds?
Thats with the AP rounds FN makes. The regular stuff we can get is stopped by IIA and IIIA vests. But you do get a lot of it up tp 30 rounds with the extended magazine.And the gun comes with 3 20 round mags. Also its still a .22 caliber round I personally believe its on the light side for self defense.I hear it does very well against body armor. Key factors to consider:
1. Availability of ammo
2. Price of gun
On a side note, I fulfilled a fantasy this weekend at Freedom Firearms; I fondled an PS-90.

I own the gun and no it isn't a
. 22. The best self defense ammo you can get for it is the elite ammunition s4 & s5, which are a bit expensive but the ss197 which is the regular ammo for the the range, that I have bought on line for as little as 19$ for a box of 50. I have put well over a 1000 rnds and have not had any problems and that's my daily oc & cc carry gun.

5.7mm = .224" nominal diameter, so, yes, it is.
I believe he was referring to the .22 LR
Also its still a .22 caliber round
A 22 that hits like a 44.
It's lighter than .22. That being said it whistles at 3500 FPS.
I think he was referring to NCGRDOOEIJSOHHTO34987384779834's comment:
NCGROEHRHOEHFOEHOSDJ84759 stated it was a .22 caliber (22 hundredths of an inch in diameter) round....which it is.

.22 caliber bullet has killed more americans then any other round...
