i has a rock optic cut & threaded barrel.
owned for a year now w only 2 mags through it. both mags get hung up when inserting. i’ve tried and had others try to make sure it wasn’t me. nope. they get caught up on mag release or something on the mag itself. it’s a JOY to shoot, but mag issue frustrates me. no, i haven’t pinged PSA. it’d take them 3 weeks to respond or offer RMA anyway. |

Trade up to a S&W. Fantastic handgun. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By backbencher: Already done - you just have to use 30 grain bullets to get it up to 2300 fps. At $3 per trigger pull & spotty availability. @PursuitSS You can do a concealable 5.7 pistol, but you probably want to go to Bond Arms in lovely Granbury, Texas, for that, or you really will have nothing but a centerfire .22 magnum on your hands. OP, how many 5.7 threads are you going to post in asking for 7 May sales? As many as I can. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheRealBluedog: I still can’t make up my mind. I was all set to add some sort of large format, braced pistol, but the Internet can’t even agree on whether it’s the greatest thing since the 5.56, or if it’s just a overblown and expensive 22 magnum. I’ll stick to my current calibers until you guys figure it out. I will say this, if the price comes down to 5.56 levels, or even better, 9 mm levels, I will definitely pick one up. But as long as it remains where it currently is, I’ll keep thinking about it. Exactly what I was thinking. |

It's warming up, and if PSA's MP7-at-home proves reliable it will probably replace my Rattler as my travel backpack gun.

There are more 5.7 guns than ever. It’s certainly not dying though I’d still call it a niche caliber.
It’s not the most balistically competent but 50 rounds of ANYTHING in a shoulder fired package the size of a computer keyboard is nothing to sneeze at

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Drebin7: Cool cartridge for sure but I dislike how the straight walled case relies on a polymer lubricant to ensure reliable feeding and extraction. Just seems like a tolerance stacking issue waiting to happen. That said, FN5.7 and PS90s seem to get great reviews for reliability and the PS90 magazine design wouldn't work without the straight cases in the first place so maybe that point is moot. The other major downside to the polymer lubricant is it can cause issues with reloading and since it's already an expensive cartridge that's a bummer. I reload 5.7x28 without any issues. I simply wipe the cases down with a microfiber cloth once they are sized. I use Hornady Unique case lube. I am up to 5 loadings on the same cases without a single case head separation. |

With the recent offerings in 5.7 pistols I believe the 5.7 is established. It’s never going to rival 9mm or 556 in popularity, but I think it’s here to stay.
I am, however, worried about a similar round I’m invested in, the .22 TCM, and more specifically its sister round the .22 TCM 9R. It’s effectively a shortened .221 Fireball that pushes a 40 grain bullet to 2000 fps from a 5” 1911 barrel. It’s a hoot to shoot. The muzzle blast is incredible, but the recoil is damn near as mild as a .22. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dave_Markowitz: The rifled length of the PS90 barrel is 14.8", so not too much shorter than the length with the permanently attached flash hider. In contrast, the P90 has 10.39" barrel. I'd be more inclined to SBR it if we could also have the giggle switch. Thanks for the info. |

I currently own Seven 5.7x28 pistols.
The caliber is GAINING in popularity, more manufacturers, more ammo companies. I currently have… FN USG FN MK II FN MK III MRD Ruger 57 PSA Rock (2) S&W 5.7 The S&W is by far my favorite pistol in the caliber, I love the ergonomics, almost ZERO recoil, great accuracy, 23 round capacity I dislike the Ruger the most for NUMEROUS reasons. I cannot recommend it to anyone. With Elite Ammunition S4, I’ve clocked it at 2,400 fps out of my FN MK II. I trust the round so much that I carried it the last few years On Duty. |
