Hey brother, what brand adjustable gas block were you using while reviewing the point of impact between suppressed and unsuppressed? The link would be fantastic!
@@goodcitizen64I don’t put external links on RUclips anymore. The best gas block on the market is the Rifle Speed Gas Control.
@@calebdavis3110pretty sure he used a 16” barrel.
Random statement. The Ft. Hood shooter used a FN 57 pistol. He killed 13 and injured 30. Some of the injuries were none life threatening. I strongly agree that shot placement means the most.
Garand Thumb did no such thing as end 57. Thx for the link, and 57 proved to be exactly what we knew it to be… mediocre performing in neutered loadings and a short pistol barrel but the point of this round, IMHO, is to perform like the Gold Dot, at least, with mild recoil and superior logistics - A pocketful of 57 is chicken soup for the soul.
It should have been .20VT or .221 FB but it’s not. It is a unique and capable rd and I have started rolling my own to better achieve my goals. BTW, my wife carries 9mm, because there is not yet a 57 or .22WMR compact in form factor and there was not a .380 P365. Use what makes you comfortable.
The Garand Thumb video didn't "End 5.7". It was kind of a mixed bag with quotes like: "punching above it's weight", "pretty awesome", "like any round, 5.7 will f*ck you up", "I definitely wouldn't want to get shot with the 5.7 - it seems fairly effective from what I've seen.", and "the permanent cavity that it creates is pretty awesome", etc. Then at the end, GT says "This is slowly proving to be the most underwhelming round we've ever used". So, clear as mud. The 5.7 rounds he tested weren't really great ones, either.
I like how you avoided all of the disappointed comments about how there's no real difference between that and the 9mm despite costing twice as much lol. And, in some cases, the damage was less.
@@datdude1076 5.7 is really not intended to be more powerful per shot than 9mm at less than 10 yards. The strengths of 5.7 is that it can put more hits on target in the same time as 9mm while having greater mag capacity. My glock 17L holds 17+1 rounds, my PSA rock holds 24+1in the same length grip. It's also much easier to hit targets at distance with the 5.7, and at 50 or 100 yards the 5.7 is holding up better than 9mm.
Never underestimate any round.
ANY!
Never overestimate any round.
@@busdrivrr888 💯
@@busdrivrr888 You’re correct. Most people seem to just run away with one or the other biases.
and never underestimate the ability to hear a guy say that because something isn't 2x that it being 1.5x is "relatively the same velocity"
amazing. haha
Didn’t the video just prove that bullet selection and accuracy is more important than anything. Cause from what I saw the 9mm also sucked until he went to the G9, especially when he compared a Speer gold dot 5.7 round to whatever it was in 9mm
Absolutely. Accuracy is king, but sufficient power is Queen. If you miss neurological controls but still hit secondary vitals the 9mm will outperform, a little. But a little can be a lot, and every little bit counts.
Yes he only tested rounds known to be anemic. Elite ammunition t6 and vanguard black dragon gang get about 600 more FPS than the stuff he was testing. He didn’t even use quality FN ammo let alone the aftermarket stuff
@@john-paulsilke893 Nah, Accuracy King, Penetration Queen, and "sufficient power" is that Jester that MIGHT come in clutch, in an already improbable situation to begin with (that being anyone getting into a gunfight)
@@john-paulsilke893 But I can fire 5.7 over 2x as fast with the same accuracy. No 9mm round is anywhere close to 2 hot 5.7 rounds. A mag dump feels like a PDW 9mm in terms of accuracy if I'm firing at the same rate/accuracy compared to a pistol 5.7
@@robarmstrong5404 Your accuracy is not universal. The 9mm does more damage. Get over it.
So it seems you have something against the 5.7 as does Mike. This also seems to be a beta mindset with alpha tendencies trying to bag on something that has a following without actual quantifiable testing to come to a determination.
I can’t believe you even tried to equate it being able to go through level 2 back in the day and some level 3a today to it not being worth a damn against level IV armor, cmon man. It’s a pistol, no other pistol goes through level 3 or 4 with any ammo that is readily available at big box stores. This pistol is a just that, a pistol. Why are you even equating it to a rifle? Just for the simple fact that it is a hair bigger than 5.56 and is considered a rifle cartridge in a pistol? I don’t believe it was ever said it was to be able to go through level 3 and up. Again as others have stated, Mike failed in getting ammo that is worth a crap. Heck even Buffman offered in a comment on his thread to help him get better ammo. That video and this one are flops, yeah y’all gonna make money off it but he failed in testing it properly and in so put out false information.
There is a reason the secret service has fielded the 5.7 for years, yes they use armor piercing ammo but there are other reasons as well. Thx for the video but nothing of what either you or Mike said adds up to much at all which is wild cuz I love Mike’s videos.
Kill? He convinced me that the 5.7x28mm is a good carry option.
He only had Speer Gold Dot, and American Eagle ammo. Should have at least had some SS198 in the mix.
Exactly... SS198LF is available and out of a handgun it goes about 9 inch in gel block, 2200 fps, 300 ft lbs. of energy, and goes through soft 3a body armor. Almost all 5.7x28 handguns have 20+ rounds in standard magazines too. Not sure where the hate comes from other than the small grain and loud crack out of it. Look up the fort hood shooting... 5.7x28 was the main firearm used.
@@daequanloco8351 9 inches is a fail on a gel test.
@@immikeurnot according to the FBI because it’s if the suspect was facing his shoulder to you. Do you trust the FBI?
@@daequanloco8351 I have put some ss198 out of my five seven through a 3A vest that was out of date, but it did stop .44 mag out of my Henry at about 7 yards. I would carry the five seven in a load out as a side arm. It's light with high capacity, and has some range to it.
@@charleslowrey9309 5.7x28 really is better than 9mm
The first thing I will say is that both are great defensive rounds. 5.7 gets a bad wrap because the ammunition is not what it is supposed to be. Most ammo you can get today is a 40 grain projectile doing about 1600 to 1700 fps out of a full-size handgun. The proper loading is a 27 grain projectile doing 2200 to 2250 fps. When loaded correctly, the 5.7 creates a devastating wounds in its intended target. Not to mention that a 27 grain projectile produces far less recoil than a 124 grain projectile. It is also more accurate because of velocity, meaning faster flight or less time it is in the air, the less it is affected by gravity and wind. It is by far the most advanced handgun ammunition available today and that is one of the reasons the government has done its best to neuter and limit the availability of the proper loading. a long light projectile doing 2200 fps will ballistically outperform 115-124 9mm doing 1100-1200 fps any day of the week.
The Air Force had pretty good results with 5.7 out of a p90 against Jaff armor for years.
So I guess its not a complete fail 🤷🏻♂️
That's legitimate AP ammo, which we can't get, out of a subgun, which we can't get.
Agreed. Colonel O’Neill (and Teal’c) really did the heavy lifting, when it came to proving the 5.7’s effectiveness.
Yes, but not on Earth.
Definitely better than the Ma'Tok staff
@@Subtlenimbus pretty sure it was on earth as well on a couple occasions however if memory serves me the Marines held the earth side down with m16s most of the time, so fair.
My problem with Garand Thumb's video was that he was using watered down cartridges like the Spear Gold Dot. That said, the 5.7 is a niche cartridge with a niche use and I'm not trading my Glock 17 for one anytime soon.
true, but thhe fancy cartridges are actually a controlled product. FN only sells the cool rounds to police or military customers. FN is pro-police state.
Exactly, 5.7 is much like 10mm in the fact that most factory ammo is very watered down. Elite Ammo, Vanguard Outfitters or 80 teeth would have been dramatically more impressive.
I know absolutely nothing about 5.7 but generally spear gold dot isn't considered a weak loading in any caliber unless I'm just way off
@@Beardman56 Speer Gold Dot 10mm comes to mind.... It's basically loaded to 40 Smith & Wesson specs.
@@PracticalTacticalSheepDog well hell guess I'm just a sucker then. Oh well I don't carry any Speer. Thanks for the info
5.7 isnt bad its advantages are weight, ammo capacity,recoil , armor penatration for all these reasons id have to go with a 5.7 in a combat scenario where these things are very important
The 5.7 armor penetration is way overstated even with the military loads. Modern tests have implied it struggles with even soft armor and even if it does go through produces extremely minimal wounds
it does fine vs soft armor 9mm does good to but a regular 5.7 will do better then a stanard 9mm @@bower31
@@popinmo lmao no even black tip 5.7 struggled to penetrate the 6b30 armor it was designed for in 1993, it has trouble with modern IIIA armor, and even then only from a P90, from a pistol you'll get nothing but pathetic ballistics
6b30 is a very odd armor design and it not a good basis for testing sorry but i know what im talking about 6b30 is a thin steel sheet with 2a kevlar behind it 9mm also wont go through that @@bower31

The big thing is that all these 'myths' come from AP 5.7 which is impossible to get anymore.

@@2ndarymotion I actually think I will, I do videos on my channel. Happen to have a 3A panel laying around and happen to have several very potent 5.7 loads on hand.
@@PracticalTacticalSheepDog I was misinformed it appears. If I get a 5.7 i'll take a gander
It’s a fun cartridge and is like you said, a more powerful .22 magnum. I choose 300 Blackout for my self-defense rifles and 9mm/10mm for my handguns. Those .22 cal bullets can only expand so much at the end of the day.
It’s less than 50 grains from a pistol barrel it’d need to be a 556x 70 or better from a 6” barrel
It is twice as powerful as 22 magnum
@@Valorius With a 40 gr projectile 22 Magnum is reasonably doing 1,875 fps out of a Rifle barrel. 5.7 with a 40 gr projectile is maybe 2,200 fps out of an AR57, and around 2,000 fps out of the intended ~10" barrel platform. Given you need a velocity difference of at least 200 fps in order for it to be significant...
The difference between a 22 Magnum Rifle and 5.7 from its intended platform or a P50 is negligible. There is only a difference when we're talking a 5.7 Rifle versus a 22 Magnum Rifle, and while sufficient to be significant it is a marginal difference.
Ergo the reasonable assessment is that the reasonable expectation is that 5.7 in ballistic terms is marginally more powerful than 22 Magnum with advantages laying in being a centerfire cartridge and a norm of Spitzer style bullets versus the RN style normal to 22 WMR, like the 22 Hornet. In turn gelatin testing demonstrates that as a rule 5.7 bullets will tumble without meaningful deformation.
Mind your statement would have been accurate however if you were describing 22 Hornet instead of 5.7. The reality however ultimately is that the 5.7 does not amount to a more compact version of the 22 Hornet.
Same here.
OMG 🤦🏼♂️…they tested Speer gold dot…slow and heavy. SS198LF I have chronograph over 2200FPS. BOTH CHANNELS have messed this comparison up…not saying 5.7 is the best round ever but this is false
If I remember correctly they did not.use green tip ss198lf.
@@kirkwest6654 exactly. The video is misleading. People forget that they are just youtubers nothing more. Just entertainers.
I have a CMMG Banshee pistol and a binary trigger.
I have pistol uppers in 9mm and 5.7x28.
I have more than 1000 rounds of various tests in each format with a large variety of ammunition in each caliber.
With my tests, especially at distance, 5.7x28 gets more hits at distances out to 100 yards in binary mode.
I agree that it is more expensive but prices have been coming down.
It does have less recoil for weak off hand shooting scenarios while maintaining better accuracy than 9mm.
I've used specialty ammo that exceeds 2500+ fps with 40gr monolithic rounds. They do have around 500lbft of energy and very good penetration in car doors, 2x4 and 4x4 wood, straight paths through 24" of gel and in a few tests, exceeded 16" after level 3 soft armor.
It is a niche cartridge but isn't necessarily deserving of the hate.
It isn't a glorified. 22 magnum, especially in pistol length barrels.
If people who claim 5.7 is weak are using 5.7 blue tip or federal fmj. These are the weakest rounds. Try some SS198LF, it trucks out of the barrel at 2,000 fps and does a much better job. The specialized ammo goes even higher to about 2,500 fps. 5.7 is half the case of a 223/556. Which is why it punches through layer things better than most pistol calibers due to the smaller diameter bullet. I have personally carried the FN57 as my daily carry for twelve years and some better/cheaper options out on the market now. It is a great round, and does even better with hotter specialized loads. Which the same can be said for any pistol caliber. I call it my pocket rifle because it shoots so flat. Also through my professional training. I could often out perform the majority of other people in class on the range with it. Where I could rapid fire accurately and they would have more spread. It only really struggled against the heavier knock down steel targets. Car doors or glass were never a problem.
Just get an frt trigger now they are legal again.
I want to add on the subject of rimfire reliability. It’s not so much the priming compound itself as it is how evenly it’s spread along the bottom of the rim. They’re mass produced and you’ll occasionally get cartridges where the compound wasn’t evenly spread across the bottom of the rim, and that’s what causes a lot of failures to fire. But yes I do agree, rimfires in a semi auto aren’t reliable enough to bet your life on.
Exactly, his premise around rimfires was off.
@@nateginter1234 to be fair, not a lot of people realize exactly how rimfire cartridges are made and just the sheer amount they make at once. It would be impossible to have perfect QC on every single cartridge.
9mm is between 1100 and 1200 and 5.7 is 1900 and 2300
I don't think what GT tested broke 1700 in the pistol
Jeff Cooper once commented on the 5.7 armor penetration claims. In response he said something along the lines of "So once it's through, what's such a tiny bullet supposed to do once it gets there?"
Probably a .22lr by the time it makes it through
@@Nathan-jh1ho pretty much from what I've seen when people test the theory.
Its gonna do alot more than the round that didnt get there that's for sure.
actually it would likely deform mushroom alot and cause a shiton of damage
@@JustownerThat’s a Fact
The p 90 was developed before the pistol, the pistol was developed to augment the carbine. Love your channel. I have a Jane's weapons from 1990 showing the p 90 .
At the end of a day, a bullet is a bullet. They 'all' can kill, and many calibers (even 9mm) can take multiple shots to do the job.
When it is all said and done, you pick what you are 'comfortable' using, and can use effectively.
Personally, i have the 5.7x28 and i plan to keep it. Because i 'like' how it fires flat, doesn't snap as bad for me, and the less-snappiness allows me to fire it faster and still retain accuracy. My EDC and the "bump in the night" AR-pistol i have are both in 5.7x28. I have a Ruger SFAR in 308 for anything bigger i need (like hunting or such).
If youre looking to get the best 5.7 ammo and think its from a big box store youre doing it wrong. Mike should have used elite ammo, vanguard outfitters, etc for testing. Those arent wonder bullets but much better energy than what was used.
Exactly, but wonder boy and his girlfriend got the midpipe post syndrome...thinking visual is everything. Makes me wonder If they cheated and were blowing crayons earlier in life?
I second this. Idk what the other guy is on abt tho.

5:19 - "relatively same velocity"...?? HAHA!

No replacement for shot placement
I love the 5.7, for a reloader of 28 calibers it is just another case to play with, no one cartridge does it all and I don’t understand why so many guys will complain they come out with a new cartridge, like they did with the 6,5creed.
Even with the unobtainable AP 5.7, the round itself was designed to be shot from the p90 or longer barrel variants vs these handguns chambered in 5.7. It's like using a 7.5" AR with federal 40gr or even 55gr and heavier(not sure of those ballistics out of a 7.5" barrel except for velocity
Thats all well and good but the results from the rifle they had didn't look much better. Especially after seeing that if I ever get a 5.7 it will be a fun range toy. Nothing more. 300blk 10" AR's exist. 10mm PDW's exist. 5.56 exist and is cheaper to shoot.

If you use neutered commercially available 5.7×28 thats loaded nowhere near the max pressure of 50,038, then yeah, glorified 22wmr, the difference between shooting watered down FNH 5.7 and custom 5.7 loaded close to max pressure, is like the difference of shooting any 5.7 through a pistol compared to shooting it through a 16" barrel, so firing custom 5.7 through your pistol is like firing FNH 5.7 through your 16" P90
What you compared it to a rifle round. It's a reduced recoil hand gun round for pen pushers & other r echelon m.f.that is easy to carry, maintenance personnel drives etc can use a ps90 ( submachine gun ) its for amateur personnel. Like American HQ officers in ww1&2 oten carried a 380 . Horses for courses.
If I'm going to shoot at distance over pistol range, I'll take a 223. If I'm carrying a pistol, i want a ccw that is effective and comfortable to conceal. That's a 9mm . For me, 5.7 pistol is too big and bulky for what you get from it.
Same people who dump on 5.7 all like “gib MP7.” 😆
The conclusion I got from the gthumb video is that 5.7 is absolutely lethal and absolutely has less recoil.
The rest of the conclusions he did not even delve into is the fact that 5.7 mm ammo is extremely Compact and lightweight compared to 9mm or 5.56.
A 540rd 556mm ammo can holds 1200 rounds of 5.7.
But a 540 round can of 5.56 would cost you about $250 to $300.
1,200 rounds of 5.7 will cost you about $1,200 lmao

I did a video on this and shot some clay blocks. The 5.7 definitely will cause serious damage. I honestly wasn’t a 5.7 fan before but after shooting the clay, it changed my mind.
Is the 5.7x28 a good self defense caliber?
ruclips.net/video/op_E2Bw32U0/видео.html
it's people that typically don't know what they are talking about or point to neutered ammo that say it's not an effective cartridge.
The clay shooting convinced you, and those rounds are in the 250-275 ft-lb loaded range. Weak stuff.
Put some different projectiles under 325-350 ft-lb charged loads and then try to believe it's not effective. Or even step it up to 375 ft-lbs. 400 if one wants to scrape the ceiling.
Would be interesting to see how different it might look in the clay.
Yeah, the ammo I used was just target ammo and it still does a tone of damage. I’m going to do another video with some defensive ammo on the clay.
I was surprised that he dismissed the ammo capacity argument: the simple, obvious fact is that the 5.7mm has a much smaller width than a 9mm. That's not a matter of "today's" conditions: that's a matter of measurement. All things being equal, the 5.7 mm will allow for more rounds: 22 rounds in the S&W.
I don't carry a 5.7 because I think it's better than a 9 mm: I carry it because I think it's better than a .380, .22 LR, .22 mag, & a .25--for me at my age, those are my choices.
A 5.7 with 198LF has DOUBLE the ft/lbs of a PMR 30.... it is NOT a .22 WMR.
Another issue with the 5.7 is handloading, which I find to be an important point for such an expensive round. I keep looking at a Ruger 57 at an LGS and it looks incredibly fun. When I looked into handloading, it seems to have some extra complexities that I didn't like. It's a pistol cartridge that reloads like a finnicky rifle cartridge.
I’ve loaded thousands of rounds, it’s the same as any other round. Clean it, Size it, trim it, primer powder bullet bang
@@Tony_Seed fair. The issues I read about that were a bit of a turn off were these. Obviously no first-hand experience, just repeating what I've read online:
1. Case life is supposedly pretty short.
2. I read it requires regular trimming, where I almost never trim straight-wall pistol-caliber brass.
3. You have to lube the cases and can't use carbides like with straight-walls.
None of those are deal-breakers to me, but are a bit off-putting features in something I would reload in large quantities in a single-stage turret press. That would change if/when I get into an auto-indexing progressive setup, but I doubt I'm going to get one very soon.
Need to case lube it well too
@@cristianespinal9917I reload a lot on a shoe string budget.556 is my favorite, cheapest easiest to reload . U gotta lube every bottle neck round. I use cheap white lithium grease in a can I had laying around. Every2-3 rds u gotta trim ya but it’s easy I use a world’s cheapest trimmer it’s 20$ In a drill it’s stupid fast. Because the pressure is so high on 556 but a short 5.7 probably won’t need so much. Ppl let weird preconceived notions control them. 556 I reload for 23c a rd the components are most common of all. The hard part about reloading is finding cheap components. I’d advise u to reload 556 first and foremost. Even the dies are cheapest in 556, lee dies etc are good . I chamfer crimped primer pockets with a big drill bit by hand. Never clean my brass ever at all only trim and reload. Eventually the neck will crack somewhere between 6-15 shots brass is only 7c each online used . No excuses 200$ your golden. I reloaded 500mag in a vise only a vise. Just don’t put pistol powder in a rifle. Finding powder I like cheap is my main thing. I use Bosnian primers their very good and cheap. Pistol or rifle small in 556 works fine
Interesting title considering how popular 5.7 is, palmetto is making ammo for it along with Hornady bringing out critical defense in 5.7, id say its gotten even more popular, almost forgot to mention S&W putting their hands in the 5.7 pot as well
for years I have said 5.7 is 22 mag centerfire, but it does have 3 advantages, it's centerfire and is therefore more reliable, it is rimless which is more reliable, and it has better bullet construction. but its energy and effect on target is not great. it beats a pointy stick by a country mile, but it is less than ideal. pack what you want, just be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of what you carry.
And for years you have been misinformed.
@@PracticalTacticalSheepDog lets see, a .224 caliber projectile (same) at lets say 30 grains traveling 2300 fps (same). it can pull that velocity with a shorter barrel, which is good, but the weight, velocity and projectile diameter is the same.

I had to pause and discontinue the video after he seemed like a skeptic about the round having less recoil, more capacity, and is quicker to get back on target. Those are simply facts, not to mention it is in fact flatter shooting.
Grand thumb did not even use the good defensive ammo from elite ammunition or vanguard out fitters which out performs the ones they used
If a caliber requires boutique ammo to work, it's a bad caliber.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD yeah that’s not the point they used 9mm special ammo in the video to get real results with it so then is 9mm not a good caliber? Elite ammunition and vanguard outfitters is not boutique ammo they make ammo for multiple calibers and quality ammo not the garbage FN. thankfully AAC is making ammo and will be putting out defensive ammo soon.
5.7x 28 with average factory ammo from a pistol is about the same ballistics as a 22mag from an 18in barrel. If you compare apples to apples, 5.7 smokes 22mag. Full power 5.7x28 from companies like Elite Ammo, 80 teeth or Vanguard Outfitters even from a pistol is dramatically more potent than a 22mag from even a 18inch rifle barrel

I've read a report that both SS190 and SS197 struggled to penetrate, and even if it did manage to do so, would not cause significant damage on targets wearing (the now common) Lightweight IIIA armor.
I had previously assumed the stories about the capabilities of 5.7x28mm were exaggerated in favor of the cartridge, and now with GarandThumb's video: I feel I can trust my instincts on the matter a bit more. After all, it's a cartridge that costs more than $0.70 per round, and only marginally outperforms .22 Magnum on tissue, if at all.
Edit: Corrected error in intended message. Changed .22LR to .22 Magnum.
No sir. I don’t support novelty or Gucci anything for obvious reasons, but these 5.7 rounds, sub or super, has countless videos showing it defeats L2A and even L3A armor, EASILY.
JUST BROWSE IT AND WATH THEM!
I have one thing to say.... The claims of the effectiveness of the round are based on rounds the U.S. gov't insisted FN no longer provide for sale in the U.S. However, there are a couple companies that produce custom 5.7x28mm rounds that do effectively recreate or exceed the capabilities of the original ammo.
1 thing to keep in mind, that energy is an equation where the velocity is squared, so a 50% increase in speed could easily increase energy by over 100% assuming the weights are the same. Of course 5.7 weighs substantially less.
That being said, my g9 9mm ammo out of my 5.5" barrel goes just as fast as the 5.7 and weighs twice as much so... grain of salt and all that lol
If you want the Cherry Pick the canik holding 18 rounds then we will cherry pick the PSA Rock which holds 24 rounds.
I still think it’s a pretty cool round that has been used successfully before. I love the p90 and the 57 designs but it is a very small projectile that is mostly meant for armor piercing capability compared to 9mm when it was designed. Either pistol caliber is alright if you get special rounds it will do damage no matter what all that matters is reliability as well as being able to put rounds on target effectively to get rid of a threat. The best for that kind of thing would be 9mm but you can use 45 acp or whatever else. I’m big into 45 acp I would just carry a double stacked gun no matter what.
Higher capacity, lower recoil, higher velocity, longer range, and annoying 9mm Stans? Sign me up
It's funny you have a picture of black tip, and yet no one ever tests it.
Everybody forgets that one; the 5.7 was fielded in the P90 as a PDW, not in a pistol. Two, its effectiveness was partly based on a "swarm of bees" theory, lots of rounds fired in full-auto by support troops who somehow found themselves attacked in a rear area. Three, it was fielded with a round designed to defeat body armor, a round that isn't available to most of us.
Anybody who calls the 5.7X28 comparable to the .22 Magnum can't do math. Pure and simple. Relax, Garand Thumb hasn't killed the 5.7. But, improved armor and the non-availability of the original AP load for just about all of us has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the round. I have a PS90 and Ruger 57; neither one would be my first choice as defensive firearms. However, take a look at Garand Thumb's ballistic gelatin tests, especially the slow-motion footage. When was the last time you saw a 9MM bullet do what some of those 5.7 rounds did? It's not a pistol round, it's a reduced size (and effectiveness) rifle round.
You can purchase better than the "original AP load". The AP load is just the mythical excuse.
SS198LF is available and out of a handgun it goes about 9 inch in gel block, 2200 fps, 300 ft lbs. of energy, and goes through soft 3a body armor. Almost all 5.7x28 handguns have 20+ rounds in standard magazines too. Not sure where the hate comes from other than the small grain and loud crack out of it. Look up the fort hood shooting... 5.7x28 was the main firearm used.
And that idiot got smoked by someone he'd already shot, who was using a 9mm.
9 inch penetration in gel is a fail. 10 inches is marginal, 10.5 or more is what you really want.
9 inches in gel is on par with some .380 ACP HP ammo.
@@immikeurnot this is just one type of ammo lol ss198lf. Now imagine ss190?
Not at all. A 35gr bullet with initial muzzle velocity of 1700fps will have 155 ftlb energy at 50m and 110ftlb at 100m. The threshold for fatality is ~ 67ftlb. As any trauma surgeon will tell you, its the location of the holes that determines the outcome not the calibre of the bullet.
Some stats (From Greg Ellifritz).

Threshold of fatality is a meaningless metric when applied outside of the original context. A bow can go below that threshold and kill, while bullets that go over that threshold have allowed the target to survive despite multiple hits.

So, just my opinion here based on what I've tinkered with, but 5.7x28 doesn't have the power to drive 40gr bullets, much less expanding 40gr bullets. It'll poke holes with them, but the performance is very sad. Now when you get down to 30gr and below and start relying on tumbling rather than expansion, the performance starts looking a lot less sad.
But as we know, any time a big dramatic video is made demonstrating the 5.7, everyone automatically defaults to something that's 40gr. It's still a pistol and is not going to generate rifle performance, but the wounding potential becomes much closer to a larger caliber.
Sir,
I've had SOME misfires with .22 lr but not as much as you seem to say is possible. I believe that the modern firing pin in newer guns seem to be part of the problem. My old .22 lr never misfire. I've had trouble with .17 hmr and SOME in .22 mag using Hornady ammo. Outside of that my older guns function perfectly with ALL ammo except Hornady. I save all the dead rounds and re-fire them at the end of the day and have had 75% firing again. If they don't they're in the trash. I love your content and just discovered you today. Thank you for your teaching and taking the time out of your busy day for knuckleheads like me.
Aloha
Good insight and overview.
I lean towards the 5.7 because I’m a new shooter. My hands are relatively smaller than most imo.. so the 57 is easier to control.
But also again I’m inexperience with hand guns I could probably find alternative 9m because 57 is so exapensive to casually shoot. Also it is a big gun. I thought about its concealment.
It’s a hard toss up to say “ let me find a firearm” or “use what you’re comfortable with now and work your way up”.
Are you confident in taking shots out to 200 yards with a 9mm?
9mm carbine, feel okay out to a hundred, easily, and that using factory irons...at two hundred yards it problematic, although we know some folks insist on pushing calibers beyond what they were designed for...
Why is this 9mm vs 5.7? And why are you shooting 200 yards with a pistol?
I like the 5.7 for some tasks, but it is not the end all be all of pistol calibers. It has trade offs like all calibers.
Im sitting on two spam cans of 7.62 tokarev . Thats my poors answer to the high velocity question.

Bro it’s wild how an entire military uses this caliber effectively and modeled a couple guns off it that consumers want replicated, yet we are here. This convo is stupid.
watching gun snobs back peddling is priceless
He ended 5.7 by using the most anemic commercial rounds available? Go watch any ballistic test of the elite ammunition T6 or vanguard black dragon fang. 2300FPS from 4.7 inch barrel, the stuff he was using only gets 1700 which defeats the entire point of the round. He didn’t even use good FN rounds let alone the aftermarket stuff
I know. As soon I saw the round he was using I just closed his stupid video out. It's all for clicks and views. No real data to back the round being deadly.
There is hundreds of professional shooters that put a 5.7 round right through multiple layers of soft armor though unimpressed by the damage it will put a round clean through if your using the correct ammo it is a very specialized hand gun and ammo choice is essential .I find it hilarious how some folks poo poo on it while some professionals love it , 5.7 shoots much flatter than a 9mm period but again depends on ammo choice there again .Maybe if people didnt make silly claims we would not have to endure this nonsense LIKE MOST TOOLS a 5/8 wrench wont work on a 1/2 inch bolt will it . these are tools pick and train to use your tool for its intended purpose . 5.7 is for putting rounds through light armor . it is light weight compact sub machine gun , pistol is simply to only carry one round i personally love the idea of one sized load to hump around especially in a small combat and civilian survival situation . But we have opinions as many as there are a holes in the world so that being said i would say pick your tool with real diligence it might have to save your life or someones life peace god bless
5.7 mm is glorified 22 magnum in the same way that 357 Magnum is glorified 38 Smith & Wesson.
Anyone who calls it glorified 22 magnum is flat-out ignorant
Not really but ok
The best gun chambered in 5.7 is no longer being made.
The savage model 25 walking varminter was the apex of 5.7 capabilities and was built for what 5.7 is best at in the modern day: an extremely lightweight varmint rifle that's more reliable than any rimfire ever dreamed of being.
I'm not even a varmint hunter and I'd give a kidney for a model 25 walking varminter just for the cool factor. Throw on a suppressor and a lightweight scope and oh my god how awesome would that be?
Especially with a sorta fast twist like 1:9 so you could stabilize anything up to about 62gr for subsonic use, with handloads you could run anything between 29-62gr at varying velocities for various uses.
Someone needs to make a bolt action 5.7 again, Savage PLEASE bring it back!
5.7 is my all time carry now .
FYI, in 1993 we were wearing level IIIA armor in LE. You are probably talking about the old 2nd chance vests in the 1970's many that were still in use in the early 1980's.
I agree, he wasn't accurate and spoke like an idiot in this post. Mikey must have called him up after he himself got blasted.
What's funny is Lucky Gunner kicked the 5.7 while it was down today lol
I will say, I've never had an issue with cci 22 mag it's always been reliable but, I'm not trying to say people should use it. I just think 22 mag is a little bit higher quality than 22 lr when you buy a good brand.
A little known fact is that certain subsonic loads can penetrate 3a, which allows for very effective silenced shots against aggressors with armor. This, when paired with low recoil for fast follow up shots, maybe throw in some "fun" triggers, makes for a VERY effective cqb/pdw round.
Exactly what subsonic round will penetrate 3a!!
Speed is what defeats armor unless your talking about back face deformation and shooting 1 lb projectile out of a 4 bore!
@@mitchculpepper738 you should watch buffmans stuff on 5.7 round testing ;)
So much wrong with this I just cant.
@PatriotPaulUSA SB193 can penetrate MULTIPLE layers of 3a. There are videos of it if you take 2 minutes to look. SB193 is a subsonic round, and is very quiet when suppressed. There are delayed blowback systems for 5.7x28 that makes recoil ridiculously low. Those systems also happen to be usable with various reset technologies and full auto FCGs.
The only thing wrong with this was your reply.
Fiveseven was designed to use SS190 ammo, i cant test a buggati with some regular tires and said this super car is super bad.
Next time use fiveseven with the ss190 and bulletproof vest and without bulletproof vest
mike kinda dropped the ball with the ammo choice
5.56 but twice as expensive and half as good when most "big boy" pistol rounds are cheaper, deadlier and have just as much capacity
You can fit 30 rounds in a pistol!?
4:00 I'd argue 7.62x39 has killed the most people just for the sheer fact that roughly 1:5 of all the small arms that exist are AK pattern rifles.
So they’re saying a .22 or 9mm would have done the same thing the FN 5.7 did at the Fort Hood shooting?
Pistols are pistols, and rifles are rifles.
People love to buy the cheapest shit and then exaggerate how shitty 22lr is.
There is plenty of excellent and reliable 22lr ammo and guns on the market today.
Is 5.7 significantly easier to shoot at long pistol ranges like 100 yards?
The word significantly is a problem word. I don’t see a confidence interval associated with the question. I would say likely not. Most of the time when people miss at 100y with a handgun it was them, not the capabilities of the gun.
any pistol can shoot long distance....easier to hit at 100yards ...yes...way easier
If I wanted expensive ammo and an expensive gun to go with it I would get a 7.5 FK. At least it has the horsepower the 5.7 doesn't.
They have major issues with ammo and ammo is only imported. We picked one up and it’s an expensive paperweight.
7.5 fk?
i haven't watched this channel in like 5 years, i come back and this guy aged 20 years
I'm sticking with my 357 SIG even if it isn't popular and declining in popularity it is a very under rated awesome round a 125 grain bullet going 1400+fps is all l need the 5.7 only goes 1700 - 1750fps with a 30 - 40 grain bullet from a 5 inch handgun l had a TCM 22 double stack 1911 that the bullet is not as good of a design as the 5.7 but it propels a 40 grain bullet 1950 -2000+ fps out of a 5 inch barreled pistol and it feels better in your hand than the 5.7 pistol does by far
My only gripe about 5.7 is ammo cost. Just like every round out there, sometimes the over-hype leads to disappointment. I like the capacity, shootability, and just plain fun of the round, but hate the $50 per box at my local gun shop.

I think 5.7 is mismarketed and misapplied, like 30SC (and the price killed it).
30SC is marketed as the "better than 9mm" round but its price ruined it, it was sold in guns that have less capacity than most 9mm guns, and it should have been what replaces the role of 380ACP, not 9mm.
5.7 is marketed as the ultimate high capacity AP round but should have been marketed as what could replace 22LR, but the price and "AP" sensationalism kept it from doing that.
I personally don't care if it pierces armor, I like everything else conceptually about the 5.7 in regard to a being a round for a short carbine or AR pistol/subgun except the price.
One of my reloading buddies is all about some 5.7 and when he’s reloading them
You have to make a appointment to come over because of the Random High tempered throwing and cussing fit somewhere between round 5 and round 25

5.7 is to .22magnum as .25acp is to 22LR.
I'd say it's like 22 mag is to 22 LR...where pistol vel = the other's rifle vel.
I've never seen .25 acp in a rifle.
I feel like failure rate is a quality thing. I have shot a lot of cci, had no problems I can remember at least. I do remember plenty of problems with bulk bucket .22lr. I have also seen problems with cheap 9mm.

I am not running 5.7 in a PDW platform for any sort of serious use unless it's fully automatic, and that's not happening until the NFA, FOPA, etc. is repealed.
That whole plate argument was kind of stupid.
Nobody's wearing armor plates to a restaurant.
I like the PS90 because it looks cool... It's a funky firearm and 5.7 is a little too polite of a round.
Wasn't fair,, US 5.7 is under powered on purpose
I they were handloads do you think that could be resolved? Honest question.
fn 5.7 ss195lf defeats 3a armor out to 40m out of 10" barrel at 2400fps in an underjacket package thats what i want it to do and ive tested it and does....any hit is a good hit...
I'm not an advocate for or against the 5.7 but the one thing it has going for it that sort of proves it's worth is the Fort Hood shooting. I'm making an assumption that due to the nature of his work, Major Hassan was not a highly skilled marksman or tactician. That being said he used the FN five seven to absolutely devastating effect. If you read the after action reports on that event, the 5.7 even from the handgun absolutely proved itself to be viable. I also dabbled in the 2000fps 50gr 9x19 rounds and I can arrest though my own cronn testing that the rounds do indeed consistently register at over 2000fps. However the rounds really fail to deliver in gel block tests.
Ask the men who charged at the shooter in Ft Hood if it’s an effective round.
Watch Tools & Targets 5.7 ballistic test and tell me if his 9mm, or even his 357 tests look much different. This round is not the end-all-be-all but it definitely works for SD/HD.
garand thumb's video literally shows that 5.7 makes bigger holes than 9mm when its not G9. why wouldnt i take a pistol that i can magdump faster and more accurately plus easily concealable 30 round mags.
Why not just carry g9 then? the reason people dropped the 5.7 around 15 years ago was because when people learned to shoot with the modern technique, everyone realized that all guns will shoot as flat as a 5.7 if you grip it properly
I have never understood the hype around 5.7. It's a great niche round for someone in a security role with a PDW, i.e. the P90. If you're not guarding some indoor facility with a P90, it's pointless... and historically overpriced.
A rimless cartridge with the same format as a .22 magnum would get the job done. Cost is one thing. Manufacturers are reluctant to develop a new cartridge that may not do well. If .22 mag could be made more reliable you might have something. So, if a round were effective and cheap in the .22 format, you might have a winner. A lot of these new designer rounds have suffered availability issues and then there is the price. In the meantime, we stick with the reliable format that doesn’t break the bank.
Here's my gripe with 5.7x28 mm. Whenever there's an ammo shortage, it's one that ammo manufacturers will put on the back burner in order to focus on the higher demand calibers(223/5.56 and 9mm). Then there's price. According to ammoseek at the time of this comment, 9mm can be had for as little as 16cpr. Now, wait for it. 5.7 at its cheapest is 38.9cpr. That is more than fkn twice the cost of 9mm. NOPE! I'm so glad I didn't fall for that hype train.
5.7 is more accurate at further distances. That is an advantage!
Considering how huge it is, it should be. Can't conceal carry nearly as well as 9mm
No offense meant to the 5.7 fans. Ive just never been a fan of calibers that are a novelty, so to speak. And especially the calibers that you have to buy "gucci" ammo for. Thats why i have chosen common calibers as my go to. In shtf situations it will be evident what will be more prevalent if you need to restock. But thats just me. I think in prep terms.
