Re: FN Herstal 5.7 Pistol

I am sure they are fun to shoot but are they good as a CCW?

The energy that they produce is on the low end, no?

I am sure it will kill people. A .22 long used to be the weapon of choice for mafia hit men. Not much
noise but it does the job.

As a CCW I would not want one. I carry one of my .40 cal and have a couple of 9mms with +P
can't see myself carrying a .22

Re: FN Herstal 5.7 Pistol

The FN shoots a very fast bullet. I think it is basically a 22 mag.

For CCW I do not know about that. I believe it has only about 225 ft/lbs of energy which puts it on the very low end.
Less than the 9mm and less than a .38 special!!

The cost of ammo and the cost of the weapon is kind of expensive.
