Not long after the S2K's got my attention I bought 2. First was in .40 and it was amazing how much recoil the damn thing had. It was so much fun I would easily run a couple hundred or more rounds through it at a time. The next day my shoulder felt like I had been hit hard there. Wife fired it one time and that was it for her. I had at one time played with adapting a recoil pad to it. I then bought one in 9mm thinking it would be better for Wife. Even that boots hell out of you. She could shoot it but did NOT like it. Sold the .40, kept the 9 as it is amazing how short and light it is. It does not even come in the same league as any of the many other PCC's I have but, none of the others come close in size and weight. The others are MUCH softer shooting and so of course are far more fun for those who do not like recoil. When this latest panic is finally over I REALLY want to get one of the CMMG's in 10mm* most of them have no recoil, I can tell the Kel-Tec Sub2000 definitely does, felt recoil comparable to an sks in 7.62x39.
Ever other PCC I've shot is much lower recoil. Best of the bunch in an MP5 or MP5 Clone, my mother loves my PTR MP5, in contrast she didn't really care for the Sub2000, but she shot it well. The PTR though she is a marksman with.
5.7x28 is generally considered a very difficult round to reload. It is currently extremely expensive compared to where it was a few months ago, however, I have gotten a few hundred rounds of the FN stuff with the plastic blue tip at Sportsmans relatively recently for $.33 a round. I currently will be adding no more to my stash till prices go down, but I have a few rounds of it.Thank you all for your input. What I failed to mention is that I have about 1,000 rounds of commercial 45acp ammo plus another 1,000 rounds of my reloaded 45acp. So naturally being cheap I was thinking that might be a good round for the new PCC.
I am intrigued by the CMMG Banshee in 5.7x28. Thank you to The Heretic for mentioning it.
Just looking around quickly it seems to be a very low recoil round. But it also seems to not be popular.
Would that be a problem in buying ammo?
The Heretic mentioned that reloading might not be the best for semi-auto? Did I read that right? Is that opinion just for the 5.7x28 round?
I enjoy reloading - it's kinda nice therapy for me LOL
The search continues - please continue to throw in your thoughts and suggestions all are appreciated.
I guess the reason I keep coming back to the Banshee is that it looks like a ton of fun to shoot.
Thoughts about this:
Banshee 300 Rifle, Mk4, 5.7 x 28mm, NFA | CMMG - AR 15 and AR 10 Builds and Parts
If you want the best an AR has to offer, then the 300 Series is your choice. This AR is fitted with every desiredcmmginc.com
You must live in Pierce or Thurston county. Everyone there is a state employee and a sycophant or Jay "the drooler" Inslee.Truthfully you hit the nail right on the head - I have ideas but little real knowledge of PCC.
I'll share with you why I started this search. Several months ago, I put up a large Trump banner in my front yard. It was tied up between 2 trees about 15' off the ground. While I was putting it up a neighbor yelled at me something I really didn't clearly hear but it was something like "you're not gonna put that @#$$$% up in my neighborhood."
Well two days later, my Trump banner was cut down. They cut it down on the 4th of July! Can you believe that!
In talking with friends about putting up another banner, several suggested not doing that. They said and it made sense to me that if the bad guys are willing to get a ladder and cut down your banner it would not be a giant leap for them to come down your driveway and try to hurt me and/or my wife. Or even destroy my property.
Honestly it scared me.

Ditto get the pistol version. SBR's are fun but, you would have to jump the hoops and pay the tax stamp to get that one. The pistol versions of these things with an SB4 brace are VERY nice to shoot. The SB4 brace is pricey but they are very well made.
I did not know some were going after the Shockwaves yet but it sure does not surprise me. When that one Co first found the "hole" in the law that allowed this and got them through and then a couple of the big boys started making them I figured this would be sure to get the attention of the law makers.Yup. I have SB several braces for Shockwaves and they work well.
A person just needs to be aware of state laws when visiting or staying overnight in a non-free state - the laws are always changing - e.g., Shockwaves with barrels less than 18" are considered an SBS. The FOP does not protect you when traveling thru a non-free state if you stop to visit or stay overnight - you must be passing thru, and even then some states like to go ahead and arrest you or at least confiscate your firearms anyway.
I am retired now and I want to travel, so this is an issue with me; I have a brother and his family in LA, so if I want to visit them while traveling, I can't take certain firearms with me, whether they are locked up or not.
