Correct, the Five-seveN pistol is no better choice than a 9mm, .40S&W, or 45ACP, but it does have some advantages. Namely; it will hold 21 rounds in a flush-fitting magazine or 31 with an extension that measure 1.5 inches, It is the lightest full-size pistol in the world, it will easily penetrate level IIIa armor, it has hardly any recoil offering faster follow up shots than any other legitimate self-defense caliber.
I know you can hand load your own to do what you want, but to claim that civilians should choose this weapon because it can penetrate body armor with factory, easy to obtain ammunition isn't quite correct, is it?
Ammunition from Elite Ammunition is easy to obtain. They have a lot of very hot loads for the Five-Seven and P(S)90. If you look over some ballistics tests and real-world results (of which there are admittedly few) you'll find that even the FN-branded "civilian" ammo is effective.
I found the link on the Zombie Squad forums that I was talking about:

25 pages with some very good (and some lousy) information... and someone finally tests the ammunition. If you watch the videos posted later in the thread, you'll see that there is pretty much zero REAL WORLD comparison between the .22WMR and 5.7X28. Check out some data on temporary wound cavities, also... the 5.7 is strong in that department.
