The 5.7

[papa]

I think the question is what are you FIRING the round from? A rifle or a pistol? The ballistics for the 5.7x28mm is not even comparable to the 10mm. While the velocity is higher for 5.7x28 from a service pistol length barrel, the lightweight 40 to 55 grain bullet has so much less mass than a 10mm or other high powered handgun cartridge with a heavier bullet, that stopping power is much less. The data I've found shows the muzzle energy in foot pounds for the 5.7x28 is less than 10mm, and somewhere between .40 and 9mm +P.

Just because it is a necked round doesn't make it a "rifle" cartridge either. My Winchester 1873 is chambered in .38-40. It's a necked case, and looks like a rifle round, but was actually considered a handgun round in the 1800's.

Same as with the 44-40. Rifle or revolver , either one.
