Hi

Does anyone own one of these pistols that would be willing to share their thoughts or some feedback?
Thanks

Have shot, don't (Won't) own.

Would be a fun little plinker if ammo were cheap.

Useless round.

Calling the HOTT.

Nomad is spot on though. Would be kind of neat suppresse I guess.

JBP55 · Nov 26, 2011

I prefer any of these 9mm, .40, .357SIG, .45 GAP, .45ACP, 10mm.
Yes even a .45 GAP.

It's a hoax. Supressed it would be a .22LR. Its a gimmick bullet that you can't get to move fast enough to do what it advertises. At least not out of a pistol. If it did what it claims it would be so much better than everything else out there it would be "THE WAY" but it doesn't so it ain't. The projectile, even the supposed LE Only variant, failed the FBI Protocol Test in horrific fashion.

The perfect sidearm for the zombie squirrel apocalypse!

if the ammo was cheaper (S197) i would buy one... i like the gun, just leary about dropping $2k on it

Swami · Nov 26, 2011

If it was a $400 gun with normal priced ammo ... I still probably wouldn't get one.

These can be had for under a grand, you might be thinking of the PS90 and even those are in the 1.5k range.

i wouldn't get one without a suppressor

The 5.7x28 is .224 just like the 5.56x45. It's also the same weight depending on loading. Basically, its like shooting something with an ar15.

From a little over a 1/4mile away.

What's the point of only buying if you are suppressing it? You still get a 150db crack unless you go subsonic, and then you end up with a $3000 .22lr setup.

themcfarland · Nov 26, 2011

if you are wanting something like it, but cheaper. the pmr 30 is close..

but if you have to, http://www.eliteammunition.net/57x28mm.html these guys load the ammo that is should be shipped with.

If this was humor I don't get it. If it was serious its itdiotic.

Great gun. It took all the demand to use the .22 WMR as a self defense round and made it into a very expensive proprietary cartridge. This handgun is my choice for video games.

Humor, but also fact. 40gr vmax at a bit under 2000fps is what you get at the muzzle with 5.7, or at 1/4 mile from a 5.56 using vmax. Sometimes the facts are stupid I guess.

Had one, loved it, but had to sell it. Ammo was expensive and that was the main reason I didn't run more than 750 rnds through it. Supersonic crack was awesome sounding while suppressed. Sounded like the bullet would rip through the air and noise would stop the minute the bullet did. Wouldn't really echo.
