it has a thumb safety and a trigger safety, that is a problem for me in my KISS world. The gun is interesting but not at $710. Next up someone will be shooting a grizzly bear with the 5.7 to "one up" Phil with his 9mm, or GlockDuffus will declare the 9mm "dethroned" for the even more powerful 5.7. Can someone really tell me "what" other than offering a petite housewife a low recoiling high capacity pistol the 5.7 round is "better at" than a 9mm, 40SW, 45ACP? Perhaps I will just assume someone will answer "more home invaders are wearing body armor these days", truth but a 62 grain 5.56 at 2900 or so will handle body armor if your paranoid enough to keep an AR15 at hand. I just scratch my head regards the 5.7 round. .
