I love their attitude over there but their selection of ammo leaves a lot to be desired.

I found it mainly for my 5.7. Everything else was a bonus.

It is a .22 cal on steroids actually. NATO carries it as their side arm so it is battle tested. That is all that matter to me.

I thought Nato used the 9mm for its sidearms?

My Ranger is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine truck: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime.

nato has a lot of rules about fragmenting and expanding ammo that civilians don't have to follow.

when considering what the military uses, consider why they use it, and what rules it follows that you're not required to.

The 5-7 is one of the most comfortable pistols to hold IMO. If your hands are too big it doesn't work, but it's great if you're the right size. I want one so very badly but they're crazy expensive for my budget right now.

Sounds like most of NATO would like to have it though...
