S&W M&P 5.7… This Fixed My Issue With It

[@3wheelmannc860]

Now all we need is the new S&W PCC folding carbine chambered in that 5.7 round.

[@gearrunner]

That would actually be pretty nice

[@thegeth4293]

Laws aside, a 5.7 pistol with pop out stock, but that could still be stowed away for ccw, something like berettas 93r folding stock, would be the ultimate firearm. A true pistol that could be carried iwb like any other, extra stability fot long range shots, and a flat shooting caliber that could actually make hits at 150 yards

[@shooteveryday1841]

I’m thinking an mp7 format in 5.7

[@burningsporkdeath]

A CMMG Dissent using this pattern of magazine would also be nice.

[@montanaedits9995]

Ruger makes one

[@TheRealOfficialGator]

The only reason it’s so expensive to get 5.7 is because so few manufacturers produce it. For carry, it would probably be a great option due to the way the round works. High penetration but small bullet, so it can pierce armour while also getting stuck inside of someone who is attacking. The round is still fairly new, but its purpose was to replace the 9mm, and I feel that if we give manufacturers a bit more time, that could happen, or at least be a really good alternative of similar cost

Nice job Gear Runner. I actually won this gun in a raffle that I entered in April. Got the call in August and I've yet to fire it, but I will soon when I head to the range. Thanks!!

[@ToxicSocietyTroll]

5.7 designed 30 years ago, I been waiting almost 20 years for it to get popular/affordable and hopefully it keeps gaining traction.

[@SternwallJerkson]

I found that using the magazine loader that came in the box really helps with loading those mags. I had no idea that's what its purpose was when I unboxed it, but I found a video that explained its operation and it makes loading a lot easier.

[@miterbox7031]

Me here unboxing my new m&p 5.7 staring at that loader trying to figure out how it works as I type this comment.

[@SternwallJerkson]

@@miterbox7031 In case you haven't figured it out yet, slip the magazine loader over the top of the magazine with the hole facing towards the back. Make sure the hole in the loader is higher than the top of the magazine. Push the round into the hole pointed end forward, then when it's inside all the way push the loader down until the round clicks into place. Lather, rinse, repeat.

[@donniebunch1897]

Are you having any problems with your magazine when filled to capacity ? Thanks

[@gearrunner]

It takes a ton of effort to put that 22nd round in it. And you almost can’t get it in the pistol fully loaded with a closed slide

[@markteaney8381]

I am, load 18 rounds until it breaks in. If you keep having trouble call S&W and request new springs they will send you new ones. They will also say no one else has called them to say this is a problem ( lies ) good luck hope this helps you out.

[@shooteveryday1841]

I have the dead air mask on my M&p 5.7- it shoots just as smooth my Ruger mark4- although it does send the casings back at warp speed. This is my first S&W, and I feel like it has the same level of design and quality as my B&T APC. I have a lot of pistols and I don’t keep guns that I don’t REALLY like. This is instantly one of my favorites. I plan to carry this. I hip carry IWB- and this is thinner than my current ccw- VP9SK. Plan on mounting a Holosun EPS carry in a month or two

[@justinRkeaton]

Just put the dead air mask on my S&W 5.7 and it will not come off after 10 rounds contacted dead air they said they don't recommend putting it on this pistol the rotating bolt is tightening the suppressor every shot and no fix for it yet

[@MMR281]

I’d get one, but the ammo is expensive and I’m hearing that people are having issues with the magazines. Also it is a very slim grip and the threaded barrel seems kind of pointless for that cartridge.

[@gearrunner]

I will say I was very surprised at how quiet this pistol is suppressed. The magazines are kind of aggravating at times. They are difficult to load and when fully loaded are very difficult to insert with a closed slide.

[@patrickvfr]

All these issues go away around 800-1000 rounds. So essentially you’re spending the price of the gun on ammo to get it broke in. Lol. Thing runs flawlessly. I run mine with a Rugged Oculus which is a perfect pairing.

[@ninjadave1970]

@@gearrunner, I'm over in East Tennessee, and I thought your tip for your grip was a great idea, as I've just gotten a S&W 5.7 myself. I wished I'd kept all the 5.7 ammo I had at $20 a box... Three weeks ago, I wished I was carrying that S&W 5.7 pistol, as we went out in search of Bigfoot and ran into a pack of wild dogs! There's other examples of strange cryptids, that makes having 22 rounds in a magazine, something that might just be necessary. Perhaps has a light weight carry option, as the ammo is lighter. The S&W seems light but it feels more like a glock 17. I wish someone would make extended magazine bases. The spring tension is so tight , and like you said difficult to load, without the loader... Hopefully I can find extra magazines for mine... I like the idea of a pistol, with good accuracy and longer range, but for a woods gun, I'm still carrying something bigger, but it's always nice to have more rounds of ammo like the 5.7 can carry, especially for a backup gun. Last weekend I saw a Mountain Lion. Before that the last Mountain Lion was near Hendersonville NC over on interstate 40 where it had been ran over. We've got packs of coyotes here, and even the Red Wolves which most people think are coyotes. Wolves, Mountain lions, Dogman, Cat People or Moabites, along with Bigfoot, coyotes and even the black Leopards I've seen and the packs of wild dogs, and wild hogs... it's those wild dogs I'm probably scared of the most, those and hyenas they released into Tennessee back in the 1930's. Like President Theodore Roosevelt had a pet Hyena at the White House... could you imagine that? Everyone is worried about bears... when there's so much more that exists that's out there in those woods! Good shooting and thank you for the reply!

Are you still driving the Tundra?… my bad, i haven’t been following the gun segment so much.

The M&P will never be reliable with 22 rounds in the mag. The M&P 57 magazine is .25" shorter than the Ruger 57 20 round mag and .24" shorter than the FN57 20 round mag but the S&W holds TWO MORE ROUNDS! S&W achieves this by a much shorter follower and much weaker mag spring.
