Thanks, I like to do a little research on the round and weapon before I buy it. I took me over a year to decide on what route to go with for my AR. And instead of buying a off the shelf one I built my own. My two baby's are my AR and Kimber.

That's some time in deciding what route to go. I'd say you did some solid homework! I've been debating building an AR or waiting for a SCAR to come back in stock... it's a tough decision!
Talk about weird rounds, I've never heard of the 5.7 x 28. Looks like a .223 short?
It is definitely an interesting round. It's practically a mini .223. The 5.7 round is designed to have rifle-like ballistics. If I'm not mistaken, I believe this round has the highest velocity for a pistol cartridge. For the 5.7 to really shine, it needs to be placed into perspective for what platform it was made for, which is a full auto P90 with a 50 round magazine. Very low recoil, high velocity, and with the right versions (AP versions) are devastating. As a bonus, the Secret Service uses it!
Yeah, one of the variants of the Remington 870 has been in my sights while researching, but I have a feeling it's gonna be slippery slope; then it'll be a rifle for long distance, then a pistol to do three-gun competitions, then I'll need a second job to fund all of it...
Alex, it truly is a slippery slope. One is definitely not enough!!! Before you know it, you'll be buying (or trying to buy) a new gun quarterly!
