I shot it but I'm not ready to write about it yet. I'm still putting it all together. So, I thought I would throw this in for you:

I only went through about 300 rounds and there isn't anyway to get that ammo anywhere else in my area right now... or I would have done just that.

does it cost the same to ship ammo as it would anything else? ammo is fairly abundent(sp) at my local gun shop and the prices are ok for what most places charge. i could get you some more ammo and ship it to you. i wouldnt charge you anything extra except the price of ammo and cost to ship since you were willing to ship me that scope on my word. ill be going tomorrow at around 4pm central time. email me at cohenj87​@gmail.com just tell me what you want and how many boxes. i could even email you when i get there at around 4 the prices and if you emailed me back by 5ish it wouldnt be a problem. if you want that is

Email sent!

IP you dog! You looked good in the pic. Can't wait to hear what happened.

Guys,

Ammuniti​on and reloading components are starting toflow again as people are settling down and had their fill of "Hording"....B/O wait times are much quicker and more items are showing in stock.

ETC - Just keep checking and get on a B/O if possible....Stuff shows up and is sometimes gone in a few hours.

Some Local retailers may still be sitting on overpriced stock.

ok me and ip are in contact via email and i emailed him what xamraci can get if for him for also. i i do end up shipping him some i will do what yo said. but my local shop is asking 24.95 a box for them so he probably will go with xamraci even though he said he just scored 6 boxes or something like that. what is the effect range on these things? ive never really looked at one before or looed into any reviews of one. it looks like a bad ass little gun with a not so little round

Cohenj is right, I just scored 6 boxes of FN from my local dealer who didn't realize he had them in the back.

I think I saw some of that 5.7 on ammomans website a while ago. I have a guy who keeps tryin to sell me one of those.I never asked a price though. http://a​mmoman.com/index.htm​

Foxtrot,​

To my knowledge, you can't ship ammunition legally via USPS. They suck anyhow, their tracking system is worthless...when it left, when it arrived at your door. Can't ever tell where the shit is! Arrrrgh. I avoid them like the plague. Oh and they are frickin' expensive. Oh and they are always raising the prices of postage stamps to cover their pay raises. Oh and did I mention they have less work! Jackasses. I despise them, oh, did I mention that I despise them? Jackasses. I've got a ton of beefs with them...I don't even want to get on my soapbox! If any of you guys are U.S. postal workers, well, I'm sorry.

Alright,​ down to business...

IP, where's that range report with full video and lots of stills? I'm chomping at the bit over here...produce my brother, produce!

ps. USPS sucks horse c**k!

I am new to the forum but can give you a little info from my range time with the gun. The commercial Hornaday 40grain blue tip chronographed avg. 1730fps. (5 rounds at 10 ft. from the muzzle) out of my pistol. It shot very good on man size targets out to 100-125yards which is the maximum distance at our police range. At 25 yards I consistantly kept sub 3" (10 shot) groups standing, unsupported. I have never done that good with my Glock.

The SS-192 ammunition chronographed avg. 2006 fps. (5 rounds at 10 ft. from the muzzle). Again, this ammo was also extremely accurate and both types of ammo functioned 100% in my gun.

The recoil is a little different from the .40 caliber Glock that I carried on duty. It seams to be similar to a .32 or .380 acp. I am very pleased with my gun and would highly reccommend it. Hope this helps.

Thanks Tacklebarry, welcome to the site. Hope you hang around for a while.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to learning as well as contributing.

I love that pistol. I want one. Really! Those muzzle velocities are sexxxy!

Oh snap! Mem said sexy! And yes, you're right, that thing's aregular speedball! I amhowever ignorant on the capabilities of the 5.7. Anyone have any good links so that I can ramp upon the cartridge and it's capabilities?Maybe some comparos withwell known calibers? I could google, but don't want to wade through pages of bullshit if someone has the goods in their favorites.

Recoil

Recoil,

As rounds go, the 5.7 is often compared to the 9mm for a few reasonable factors. Since both are considered high velocity rounds and in FMJ, vest punchers, there have been some ballistic comparisons done between them.

The 5.7 has a higher velocity (69%) but the 9mm has 3.5x the bullet mass, so the energy is just slightly in favor of the 9mm. That being said, the 5.7 has a flatter trajectory out to what might be considered long-range pistol shooting. That coupled with very low recoil, supposedly just slightly higher than a .22LR, makes the 5.7 a very accurate high velocity round at even long distances. The MIL/LEO round that is controlled has an even higher velocity and is defineatly a kevlar puncher.

I'm not sure how this all plays into penetration though. The velocity seems good for body armor, but the mass seems low enough to expand quickly. ??? This is the big question in my mind.

I'll check the box-o-truth and see if they dd any testing on the 5.7. Thanks Mem.

i picked up one of these then found out my range wouldn't let me shoot it so it's still a virgin. i did see a box of ss192 at a gun store recently for about $25 bux for the 50 so i picked those up. other than that i've got the ss197's.

i've shipped a bunch of ammo when i liquidated my supplies via ups ground and never had a problem even though i didn't bother to label orm-d. don't think the drivers really gave a toss. but if you put the label on there then you're all good.
