Is 5.7x28mm Enough For You?

New guns like the Tisas PX-5.7 have sparked a resurgence of interest in the 5.7x28mm cartridge, and new defensive ammo offerings from FN America and Speer make this cartridge even more viable for self-defense.

new ammo matches most defensive 9mm in gel tests in penetration and damage, significantly less recoil, more capacity (+6 in a PSA Rock vs G17 in the exact same dimensions), better range, accuracy and easier to hit moving targets at range since it moves so fast ... The only con is cost and thats coming down with the increase in popularity and options ... I say if you have the money 5.7 is the much more practical choice over 9mm

The 5.7 has zero knockdown power, only penetration. That's the main difference. But great round for sure I'm looking into buying the kel tec 5.7

Store ammo for range only. Vanguard is pricey but its good penetration

The 5.7 × 28 is a good round especially over 75 yards vs most handgun rounds the cost of the ammo vs 9mm is substantially more even a carbine rifle in 5.7 × 28 10 - 16 inch would be nice the problem for me is 223/556 is more effective and cost for ammo is close and I'd prefer a fullsized pistol 4.5 -5 inch barrel in SIG 357 or 10mm over 5.7 × 28 if ammo was 15 dollars for 50 rounds like 9mm until then its a no go l like the 30 supper carry and TCM 22 a few years back l had a RIA TCM 22 /9mm combo double stack 1911 and was getting TCM 22 ammo for 16 dollars for 50 rounds but sold it to buy a used SIG P320 fullsize with many upgrades it is 40SW / SIG 357 combo for 430 dollars gun looks new l think SIG 357 or 10mm is a better more effective round over 5.7 × 28 even at 100 yards
