Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.

I've gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he's been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.

I'm based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn't allowed!

FWIW, 5.7x28mm is a very good round for penetrating kevlar vests and is very controllable and has pretty good ballistics out to the ranges you'd practically use a handgun or PDW for

Hopefully you're never in a situation where that would be a useful advantage

It's also expensive as hell per round for its size and a handgun chambered in it is going to have a chunkier grip due to the length of the magwell

(I still kinda want a Keltec P50 though)

Yeah, it's a very engineering round, fine for someone designing a gun assuming they can negotiate a supply chain, but probably impractical for an end user
