Here's to a cool little pistol that's a victim of silly fear mongering and as such is harder than hen's teeth to buy and acquire ammunition for in Canada.

The 5.7x28mm, essentially a centerfire .22, is a rimless (even lightly recessed), bottleneck cartridge. While many American law enforcement agencies have purchased the USG, commercial sales have been brisk throughout the country as well. Many officers have purchased this weapon for off-duty carry, citing magazine capacity, lethality and light weight as the selling points.

wow! That looks new. I have never seen that gun ever,......ever.....

Wow. That has to be incredibly recent, because I've never ever read about the 5-7.

The original, not American version, is already in Canada.

I know it's here, just really hard to get at reasonable prices. Are you other guys mocking me? I didn't think it was that new, it's been around since ~2004 to the public. I'd certainly go for a 5-7 IOM (single action)

Okay fair enough, I only started the thread because it was May 7th (5-7), now that it's May 8th it can die.....
