    That is why my old Stevens SxS 12 gauge has a #4 Buck in one side and a OO Buck in the other. And, as it has double triggers, there would be a "cloud" of 55 pellets (40 & 15 respectively) heading for the target.

    How is that much different from an FN-57?

    I think a true pistol would be easier to carry and use than what is basically a SBR called a "pistol".

    And where to get mags for it? AND, the 5.7x28 stuff that's sold to civilians is underloaded low power. It would piss me off to be limited to castrated ammo...

    FN frangible 5.7 ammo has been shown to defeat soft body armor, as have a few other solid copper boutique loadings.

    Not meant to be a carry pistol...if I got one I'd SBR it. It takes standard FN-57 mags, and the stuff sold to civies is still 2200+ fps, so I wouldn't call that underloaded.

    Raxar...been looking at those...rarer than hen's teeth, unfortunately, and commensurate with unobtainium...generally...

    I turned to R&R as the NBT (Next Best Thing) because I've been able to obtain it.
