Im pretty sure im about to start an ODT fire lol...

Soviet, it sounds like you are pretty well educated (and invested) on the 5.7. You use it and believe it to be effective. Lets assume that the exotic ammo is not $5 a shot and not hard to get because, frankly, that is irrelevant when it comes to defending life. If someone is looking to obtain a defense handgun, can you provide reason to choose the 5.7 over one of the big 3?
 
Not to derail but how do you guys feel about the 22 TCM? Very similar in many respects and I've often thought about keeping one for either occasional carry or in the truck. I just don't know how I feel about such a small bullet for SD situations. I'd look into the FN57 I just have a big issue with spending that much money on something make of plastic.

In for this one. Nicely worded sir!

Why?! Where is the logic? Is that only bc "higher end" guns are typically metal?

Personal desires/standards are rarely logical....

It's the reason why I don't have an HK45. I love them, I just can't jusitfy the cost. Why in the world does something cost that much when half the gun was likely made for $2. If Glock can do it for $419 why is an HK or FN TWICE as much? ( I am not a Glock guy by any means...)

When I think about buying a plastic gun for around $1k I always end up thinking I'll just save a little more and buy another Les Baer or Dan Wesson. I can see and feel why one of those costs so much.

Like I said, though, personal standards are rarely logical.

That's logical. If I'm spending big bucks on a handgun, it had better be hand fitted
