Five-seveN in training environments...feedback?

So many classes/schools offering handgun training stipulate a 9mm minimum requirement. Have any of you ever run through a class, even just a CCW range qual like we have in SC, with a Five-seveN? Maybe Costa/Haley type environment also? Seems on paper there would be benefits to shooting a multi day 5-1k rd class with this pistol. Experiences?

Cheers,

I took mine to a two day NRA outside the home pistol training class. It was probably close to 200-225 ish rounds. No where near as demanding as big name classes, but mine never skipped a beat. I think the 9mm stipulation is more geared towards .380 and smaller handguns. 5.7 has good energy numbers close to most 9mm ammo.
