Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 Pistol - 5.7x28mm 22rd Black No Safety

The Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 delivers the high-velocity performance of the 5.7x28mm cartridge in a striker-fired platform built for professional and civilian use. This full-size pistol combines proven M&P reliability with the flat-shooting characteristics that made the 5.7x28 cartridge a favorite among military and law enforcement units worldwide.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional pistol cartridges, the 5.7x28mm round maintains supersonic velocity at extended ranges while producing minimal felt recoil. The M&P 5.7 chambers this specialized ammunition in a familiar striker-fired design that eliminates the learning curve associated with other 5.7x28 platforms. The 22-round magazine capacity provides substantial firepower in a package that weighs less than comparable double-stack 9mm pistols.

Key Features

• 5.7x28mm chambering with 22-round magazine capacity
• Striker-fired action with no manual thumb safety
• Polymer frame with stainless steel slide and barrel
• Low-profile three-dot sights with drift-adjustable rear
• Four interchangeable palm swell grip inserts for custom fit
• Picatinny-style rail for lights and laser accessories
• Ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release

The flat trajectory of the 5.7x28mm cartridge extends effective range compared to traditional pistol rounds, making this platform suitable for competitive shooting, personal protection, and professional applications where barrier penetration and extended range matter. The lightweight projectile reduces felt recoil, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences.
