57 x 28 or 9mm?

I'm on the fence and am trying to consolidate ammo for when shtf. I just got the Smith and Wesson M&P 57 (no safety, of course) and its out performing my S&M MP 9c on penetration and accuracy...but the ammo is super expensive.....plus its not a common round. I'm wondering if I should stick with the 9mm for those two reasons? side note: the green tip 57x28's penetrate class 2 body armor and they will put a serious hurting on class 3.

Accurately shooting is key. If you're on a budget, 9mm. If you pay to play go 5.7. Shooting a 5.7 is a bizarre experience at first due to almost no recoil. Harder to conceal but capacity and power is hard to beat. Also the ap round for the 5.7 is black tip?

Black tip in general equates to AP.
