Crush cavity is a myth. Blood loss and psychological incapacititation are how you ,stop human threats with a pistol. Yes, larger calibers will create a larger diameter hole leading to a damaged blood loss and to eventual stoppage. A 5.7 tumbler rolls up through your body, richochets, fragments, and possibly exits causing greater over all blood loss and organ tissue damage. If the round had sketchy stopping power, do you honestly think the secret service would use them?

The thing is, as civies, we don't even have access to the armor piercing rounds. They are .22 magnums. That's it.
Eh, the gun in my avatar will do that... Gun: ~$200 Ammo: ~30 cents/rdwas it IIIA? there are vids on youtube that show it penetrating.
Sportsman guide always has ammo. if they are out of stock they are good about sending it one it come in. I order mine 2000 rnds at a time and us the flex pay program. for what ever it is worth to you good luckHard to tell as 5.7x28 ammo is about as easy to find as gold laying on the street.
As much as I like my FN Five-seveN and my PS-90s, not being able to find ammo and seeing letters from FNH that it will ship eventually makes it hard for me to recommend it anymore. And that is really sad as I really enjoy shooting the two pieces.

I will guarantee that my hand loaded rounds will outperform any 22 magnum you wish to put them up against. I will also guarantee you that Elite Ammo has rounds that will make my hand loaded rounds look like they came from a pea shooter.
I have said this many times, with the correct ammo, the FiveSeven, and the PS90 are excellent weapons. They will be my weapons of choice when the time comes.
I have found that most people that criticize this caliber have never owned a firearm that shoots it, and likely have never fired it period.
It's just like anything else some people love it, some people hate it.
What?! Crush cavity is a myth? I think you are thinking of temporary crush cavity being effective with any pistol round, as that is a myth. How do you think blood loss occurs? By the permanent crush cavity (aka any tissue damaged by the path of the bullet).
And there are 3 ways that bullets incapacitate:
Psychologically
Enough blood loss caused
Destroying the CNS (quickest way)
Read what i just said. At no point, even at full YAW does 5.7 make a bigger hole than a 9mm JHP. Period. As in, 5.7 does NOT create more blood loss than 9mm JHP.
4 ways then (tissue/bone structural damage).
BTW, anybody got pics of 5.7 varmint bullet wounds?
