I think I'll stick to my antique M&P .40 until becomes available to the general public.

Yea unfortunately Im still a little new to firearms and make that mistake from time to time, ive only owned my own firearm for about 2 years and probably only put 1500 rounds through it because I dont go shooting often enough (cant find any gun buddys who can afford to shoot or go shooting with me). Funny thing about that posted thread is Ive used a clip before when firing my dads enfeild to quickly load 5 rounds in the magazine, but I sometimes confuse it with a magazine.
I guess firearms enthusiasts like to make fun of the newbies that call magazines "clips" on here.
Anyways back On topic, I like the low recoil of the FiveseveN whislt being a lot more powerful than a .22, but at $.50 a shot, I dont like the idea of going through $10-$15 per magazine at the firing range. I just like the idea of being able to load an AP round even if they are illegal and the really high magazine capacity.
They AP ammo isn't illegal in OR, unless somebody can show me otherwise. It's just hard to obtain.
The Lee-Enfield uses a stripper clip, or the rounds are individually loaded into an internal magazine. Another type of magazine would be the en-bloc, which is what most people would associate with a "clip." This, of course, also loads into a sort of internal magazine.
Superjew is in St. Louis. I've seen it here, so I'm guessing it's legal. I'll take his word regarding laws there because I don't know them and don't have a reason to look them up.
The SS190 FMJ, a refinement of the SS90, was introduced in 1993. It offered superior performance over the prototype projectile as well as slightly reduced length. The latter change allowed it to be used more conveniently in the Five-seven pistol also being developed at that time. Fired from the P90, the SS190 propels a 2.0 g (31 grain) bullet at a muzzle velocity of roughly 715 m/s (2350 ft/s). It has a steel penetrator and an aluminum core. The SS190 has been manufactured with a plain, black, or black-on-white tip color. It is classified as armor piercing (AP) ammunition by the ATF and its sale is currently restricted by FN to law enforcement and military customers.
In testing done by Houston Police Department SWAT, the SS190 fired from the P90 exhibited 27.94 to 34.29 cm (11 to 13.5 in) of penetration in bare ballistic gelatin. In testing in 1999 by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the SS190 fired from the P90 at a distance of 25 m (82 ft) exhibited an average penetration depth of 25 cm (9.85 in) in ballistic gelatin after passing through a Level II kevlar vest.
As far as I know, all the good 5.7 ammo is either illegal to import or insanely expensive.
For me, 7.62x25mm is better in every way.
