It's a fun round, the pistols are light with little recoil, and of course a flat trajectory.
The downsides are big muzzle blast, mediocre terminal ballistics and high ammunition cost. Also grip size for people with smaller hands.
I chose the Ruger 57. I like it, I think the new S&W and the PSA Rock will be very comparable. However, it sees far less use than my more conventional pistols in 9mm & .45. A 5.7mm critter would not be my first pick for a handgun, really not even in the top 20. But they're a worthy addition if you have your bases covered!
