Yeah,
You can put a zombie down with one shot to the head, but there are a LOT of zombies.

Yes it is (or was, I don't watch it
) a tv show, it also is the big responsable for the big jump in prices of the Colt Python.

I had to get out of the closet and see what the 5.7x28mm was all about and saw that it really is a good load in a pistol for SD and will shoot through both of the rear doors of a car, with the right ammo.
I also saw different ammo and weapons with short to 8" barrels
in a rifle type weapon, shoot this ammo that got up to 2,000 fps plus, on a youtube site with, BuffmanRANGE.
A mini rifle case out of a pistol............
whod a thunk it ??

My daughter, just last month, took home my M36 no dash 3 inch J frame. She need a self defense gun in a liberal town west of us, over the Cascades where there was some beginnings of riots.
Only thing gun related my daughter has ever asked me for was pink grips for her stainless Taurus revolver, and "some of those bullets that kill people dead."
She was talking about hollow points.

Why isn't loving hubby buying her ammo instead of you?
He only had 300 rounds and she grabbed up one of the 2 handguns he had(the unfired one of course) and promptly ran 50 rounds through it. So he kept the one and she got the other. She got 2 boxes of ammo and 2 loaded mags. Heck I don't even know how many one of those mags hold I would assume that finding 5.7 ammo is just as hard on the Eastern Shore of Md and Delaware as it is here. When he was last out here I loaded about a 1000 223s to take back east with him, They have a little problem as they have 5 boys and a daughter that all shoot...but one is in school on a baseball scholarship and doesn't get to shoot all that much...the one girl is out here in Montana working as a ranch manager like her mother. Talked to her the other day and she said when she comes back down this way she needs more 22 ammo. Hard nosed gals..both mother and daughter. Daughter's hubby is making big bucks back east and they are looking to buy a ranch when he packs nuff money away and the other daughter is almost 11 and is going to school in Montana in a school with about 16 students...better than tha packed schools back east that have LOTS of problems. Long distance marriage though!

No daughters so I cannot comment on the PITA factor involved.
9 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, major PITA factor. Long drawn-out whining voices with exasperated tones of voice, "G-R-A-M-M-M-P-A-A-A-A!"
They seem to be born with the knowledge of exactly where the heart-strings are located and how to tug at them.

A laser beam doesn't weigh anything. Don't want to be hit by a high powered one though. Taser barbs are pretty light too......
My son and my sister..
... both have a couple of my guns and ammo I supplied. Also outfitted a few friends with a handful of rounds just in case. That's all for me.

Have also passed out ammo to Family Members.
I got time to patrol the stores and pounce when I see some for sale.
My family folks are working.

Just a note;
Back in the 60's I had a single action Ruger that shot 22 LR and had the cylinder for the longer 22 Magnum, that had a 40 gr bullet.
I would not want to be hit with that round...........
let alone the newer 5.7 that holds even more powder !!
Just that it seems funny, that a small 40 gr bullet has advanced so far in todays times, that it now qualifies as a accepted SD load.
Super Sonic BB's will probably be the next super loading ?

You know the definition of outnumbered, Right?
The 5.7x28 is nothing to sneeze at, I have the Ruger 57, the ammo runs in excess of 2000fps. Can't even shoot it at my local indoor range because of that. It is a bottleneck cartridge, looks like a shrunken .223.
The Ruger magazines hold 20 rounds. I have 5 magazines, that's 100 rounds and man, can you go thru them fast!

I don't own a 5.7X28 but I have shot a FN and I think the caliber would be great for self defense pistol. Many people believe a pistol is not a one shot stop gun so a 5.7 with very little recoil and a bunch of bullets should get the job done. The cost of the ammo should not be a problem for most people because they rarely shoot. Larry
I found one box for 35 bucks and gave 'em to her yesterday. She had to see the orthopedic doc and her mother was necessary if you know what I mean. And I'm gonna get my Ruger back...yippee! Sadly the doc said her wrist/arm break will probably will get no better ...even with more surgery. But she has turned into haf a lefty...but she will no longer be able to work as a farrier. I'm kinda glad about that as horses can be dangerous critters...esp other people's...But she can still do her ranch work and she loves living out here in the west. Only need one more box of that ammo. What little I have read about the caliber is very positive for personal protection
I bought 2,000 rds of SS198LF before the onset of the current ammocalypse. This is the only rounds I have purchased that are commercially boxed and cased at 2,000 rounds instead of 500 or 1,000. Anyway, it hurt to drop 50 cents a round on it at that point. I went ahead with the "order and wait" process because I was afraid something like this was coming. Now, as I look back, I am glad I did.
My daughter got an AR for a wedding present (from a great friend who happens to own a LGS). While she was over on Christmas (a snowy one!) she asked her Dad if there was any extra .223 in the house. Gotta love it!

If I had a daughter in that liberal town West of the Cascades, I wouldn't hesitate to give her the Model 36, as much ammo for it as she could carry. Then I would add a pump or semi-auto shotgun with as much ammo for it as she could carry as well. Guns and ammo are replaceable, our kids and kin are not.
BTW, my littlest niece (the 5' naught "tiny dancer") turned up her nose at pink grips for her Model 30-1 and "demanded" a custom set of Roy Fishpaw grips instead!
I keep her supplied with my Lead SWCs for practice and factory JHPs for "serious work."Froggie
