Ammo damn near costs as much as the pistol. (Ok, it isn’t that high ) Anyway……
I GOT A NEW PISTOL!!! M&P 5.7 .

Wow. And it appears the magazines are ribbed for your pleasure as well!
Just kidding!!! The M&P series is well regarded and time tested. However I am not a fan of the caliber. |

If I might ask... why 5.7? No agenda, just curious.

Just a wild hair. Something a little less “aggressive” when my .45 and the 10mm have had their turns. Also ordered a little .380 for the wife. With the 9mm and .40 S&W I feel my semi-auto itch has been scratched. Next, revolvers.

5.7's are very fun to shoot.

It is an great shooter.
I have an FN 5.7 and yes the ammo is crazy but I found a guy down on his luck a while ago and got 8000 rounds for $800 including blue, red, and green tips. I'm just down to my last couple of bricks. It shoots like a .22, everyone looks at the barrel and thinks its a .22 but it sounds like a large bore rifle and the muzzle flash is huge. The only downside is the ammo has no lead, so it has a shelf life but I've yet to run into it. |

I ask because I have a bunch of surplus ammo in a couple calibers which is magnetic even though the cases are brass. Copper covered steel projectiles are not a new thing... The oldest I have is headstamped in 1974 and it still shoots great.
Great catch on the lyrical lead though!!!!!!! |

Did you buy it months ago, stash it, tell the wife you had, had it forever, or come clean on it with telling her that the deal was too good to pass over?

Luckily my wife doesn’t really argue when I want to buy a new gun. Of course the little .380 I bought her helped.
