        I mean, if there’s a pistol cartidge it’s easy to shoot with precisely at medium range it’s a 5.7x28. Recoils like a 22 with downright stupid velocity. A good shooter can do a 2-3-inch 5-shot group at 25 yards without an optic on an FN FiveSeven. With a red dot, they can get 1.5 inches pretty easily.

        Some would say it’s grossly underpowered, and only really useful tactically in the armor-piercing variety. But there’s no arguing it’s a breeze to shoot.

          It is indeed a breeze, but as a personal preference I think is more effective at 25 yards or less, I don’t consider myself a good shooter and I have trouble hitting the target at 25 yards accurately with a 5.7, but with a 40 I can do 50 yards with ease.

          Maybe the projectile speed plays a factor, also I tend to practice shoot with one hand, which might be playing against me.

            You should try 10mm if you’re good with 40.

            I am not. I’m too much of a skeet shooter to be good with a pistol.

              I have tried it, is my girl’s favorite so we shoot it pretty often.

              Edit: and how funny, I’ve never tried Skeet Shooting, but seems like a lot of fun.
