Does anyone know about a mount for the five seven? I have a deltapoint and want it on a five seven. Any ideas?

Not entirely on topic, but what made you select the Five Seven?

I ask because I recently worked a shooting where a suspect dumped about 10 rounds into the driver's door (window was up) of an Impala from about ten feet, using 5.7x28mm.

Only two of the rounds exited the inside of the door panel. One hit the victim/suspect in the leg, leaving a superficial wound. He was standing next to the car when I got there, and refused medical attention.

Its rare that we see a shooting using that round, probably because there just aren't that many out there, but they seem to have pretty horrible performance.

I just think it is a cool gun, honestly. Extremely light and with that many rounds and little recoil I figured its a good weapon to add to my collection. Got a great deal as well. The civilian ammo isn't the best as far as ballistics go but the LEO ammo is awesome. I'm hoping I can find some at a local gunshow.

Departments that were using the P90, which has a longer barrel, have switched to other platforms in light of the poor performance.

If it has collectors value to you then drive on. I just have my reservations about its effectiveness.

The guy asked for a mount, not a never ending critique of his chosen pistol and round.

Well I did have one in reserve with a friend but after reading I am less enthusiastic about the gun. Might just end up going with an Eotech set up instead. Thanks for the info and input however.
