It's just a weapon. It looks like a good one. I have a Bushmaster AR-15. The model the beltway snipers used to kill innocent civilians with. It is sobering to think just how much evil one can do with modern weapons. Or how much good. I believe in having adequate firepower to defend my loved ones and my neighborhood against bandits or aggressors if necessary.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Nice pistol and I agree, that's a great round. Nice Springer to boot.

Thanks Wiggity! Thank you as well Jeep! I'm deeply fond of the SA. I just finished changing out the recoil spring and installing a new SS guiderod and bushing. What I really like are the G 10 grips I got from VZ Custom Grips . They are the Operator Grips and I asked for a thumb relief at the eject button and it worked out perfectly.
Inside each knife is a new adventure waiting to be had...maybe some blood and probably some suture.

Just to clarify... The 5.7mm ammunition you can buy as a citizen is NOT what this weapon was designed to shoot. The Fiveseven was intended and designed to shoot a lighter, faster, steel cored bullet which gives some limited armor penetration. It was meant to provide a sidearm that can actually wound an enemy on the modern battlefield where body armor is common.
What you can buy on the public market has that plastic tip to promote bullet expansion, and is not considered armor penetrating. It's hilarious that the police were annoyed about this handgun because it would supposedly negate their soft armor; the actual armor penetrating 5.7mm isn't available to the public.
