After all these years, and the misinformation is still being spread left and right.

You can buy AP 5.7 ammo all day long. The only round you can't buy is the FN branded SS190. You can buy AP rounds from other vendors. Hell, even the store shelf American Eagle 40gr TMJ penetrates level II vests. For stuff that is even better than SS190, check out Elite Ammunition. Good 5.7 self defense loads can match good 9mm loads in energy and terminal performance, making 5.7 an excellent duty and self defense load due to the higher capacity, lower weight, and reduced recoil.

As for .22 magnum being the same, thats just flat out disinfo. Hot .22 magnum loads out of a 20 inch rifle barrel come close to store shelf 5.7 ammo fired out of a 5 inch pistol barrel, in terms of energy. Most .22 magnum bullet designs are quite poor, and won't expand, fragment, or tumble like most 5.7 (standard .224) projectiles will. .22 magnum out of a pistol, well, you're losing a *lot* of velocity at that point, and if there was any expansion at rifle velocities with the projectile you are using, there likely won't be at pistol velocities. .22mag compares to 5.7 as 5.7 compares to 5.56. The fact of the matter is that 5.7 sits right in the middle between 5.56 and .22 magnum.
