Angry Bees

Between Ruger slashing the manufacturer's suggested retail price on their Ruger-5.7 to a hair under five and a half bills (which means street prices will be under five hundo) and KelTec's PR57 going for under four, this brings pricing on 5.7x28mm handguns well into the "everyman" tier.

Add new loadings from Speer, FN USA, and Fiocchi, and price-per-round dropping down to fifty cents, and it could possibly lead to increased popularity, which will lead to increased production and further cost-per-round reductions.

Given how this is a low recoil round, it could have a future for the people who worry about "Does it kick?" as a primary purchase consideration.
