Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 5.7x28mm 5″ Threaded FDE Pistol, 2x 22rd Mags

Description

The 5.7x28mm cartridge is a blast to shoot, and the M&P 5.7 gives it a proper home. Smith & Wesson built this full-size pistol around their Tempo barrel system, a gas-operated, locked-breech design where the rotating barrel stays locked until the bullet passes the gas port. What that means at the range is a noticeably soft-shooting pistol with very little muzzle rise, which pairs nicely with a round that was already easy on the hands to begin with. Add a 22+1 capacity and you can run drills for a good while between mag changes.

What Sets the M&P 5.7 Apart

This is an internal hammer-fired, single-action pistol, and the flat-face trigger breaks clean with consistent finger placement shot after shot. The 5-inch stainless steel barrel wears a corrosion-resistant Armornite finish, carries a 1:9 twist, and comes threaded 1/2×28 with a thread protector installed, so adding a muzzle device is simple. Up top you get steel 3-dot sights and an optic-cut slide with forward serrations, and down below there is a Picatinny-style rail for a light or laser. The whole package wears a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish that looks sharp and holds up to real use.

Built for Righties and Lefties Alike

Smith & Wesson kept the ergonomics practical. The grip is slim and well textured, which makes a 22-round pistol feel much more manageable in hand than the capacity would suggest. An ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release mean left-handed folks are not an afterthought, and this version skips the thumb safety for a cleaner draw stroke.

Why the M&P 5.7 Earns Range Time

At 26.7 ounces with an 8.5-inch overall length, it balances well and points naturally. Whether you are chasing steel, introducing a recoil-sensitive shooter to centerfire pistols, or just want something different in the safe, this one delivers. Two 22-round magazines come in the box, so you are ready to load up and go from day one.
