M&P5.7

Interesting offering from S&W. I won’t be surprised if we see a PCC cone out from Smith chambered in 5.7 soon.
Still too costly to feed.

The Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 Gets a New Two-Tone FDE Look

Earlier this year we reported on the new M&P 5.7 from Smith & Wesson (below). The pistol is a well-executed,

I have a Ruger 5.7. fun little round to shoot but the killer is the price of ammo for it. makes it a very occasional shooter. You're going to spend close to 100 bucks shooting two boxes of the cheap federal ammo.

Precisely the reason i don’t have anything in 5.7 (yet).

Smith being late to the party again like the 10mm is.

Why did they build this? Don't they look at ammo prices. Another gun that will go away soon. I had a Ruger 57 and it was great but at $59 for a box of 50 it was too expensive to keep running. This is not a round that can be reloaded efficiently as I have been told.

The federal stuff is 35 a box now, but it is not good ammo. very inaccurate. but it does go bang every time.

IMO, things pretty ugly. Kel-Tec looking.

I agree, the Ruger is Ugly too really. the FN looks good but at 1100 bucks it should.

I agree, FN has the only one that doesnt burn the eyes. Now I understand looks dont matter to everyone but unless its for function reasons, there is no need to make them unsightly.

That Ruger 5.7 is a nice firearm. I have come close to pulling the trigger and buying one...
Many years ago a friend let me shoot his FN 5.7 pistol and it was fun.

 

[Equalizer]

Wishful thinking. The more manufacturers get in the 5.7 business ammo will follow.
All of them already met in back room to resolve $$

Gas operated…that’s pretty neat.

Wonder exactly how it works…

Rep from Smith at SHOT show. Talks a little about gas operated system. Pretty interesting. It is internal hammer fired.

So knowing nothing about the 5.7 and not wanting to add another caliber to my stable anyway however how does the 5.7 compare in size to the rounds discussed daily on the forum.

.22 9mm 40S&W 45ACP 10mm

?

5.7=.22 caliber.

It’s a hot .22 magnum.

Thank you.

 

[Pitdogg2]

I'd rather have a .22magnum. I wish Ruger would revisit their 10/22 magnum rifle.

There is a cool factor for some people with the 5.7. However, I would choose the 9mm over the 5.7mm any day of the week. Ballistically, the 9mm out performs the 5.7. Here is a link that has some concrete test results. And a good aread as well.
