![Is 5.7x28mm Just Overpriced .22 Magnum? [Part 2]](/img/n.gif)
It’s good to see Hickok still making and giving us quality videos . Thank you for your expertise over the years of watching and learning from you
This 5.7 video is 12 years old.
I own three different firearms in 5.7 (PSA Rock, S&W 5.7, and an AR57). I absolutely love them. Super low recoil, high round count, and feels like a cheat code in my hand. They may not be for everyone but I sure do enjoy the hell out of mine.
My psa 5.7 has been so much fun to shoot I really love the thing. Best part is I’m pretty sure I got it on sale for like 3 or 400 bucks.
I feel the same way about my .32s.
DOUG out
Love my AR57. My favorite thing to go play in the woods with when I don’t have anything specific planned.
I just got my Tisas px 57 love it so mfn much flat shooter for sure and got mines for $319
Until it feeds a round wrong with that weird ass flanged barrel.
A buddy of mine got one when it first came out. He also found some of the original military rounds. These rounds would go through multiple Kevlar vests, much better than 7.63x25. While vaporizing cans of soda, we noticed that it wasn't penetrating some of the cans. We found a can with the bullet sitting in the exploded can in reloadable condition. This ammunition was quickly prohibited, but with the penetration and hydro shock was unbelievable. I still have the bullet and the rifling is clear. Comparison to 22 WMR is ridiculous.
But the old 22 mag is still better because ammo is still relatively cheap. And it'll take care of most everything you need other than combat use.
The ammo I use is Federal FNH 5.7x28mm Ammunition SS198LF 27 Grain Green Tip Hollow Point which is available for about $0.70 a round in quantity.
It is labelled LEO/Military, but that's not actually a restriction, just a guideline, like stamping "DO NOT DUPLICATE" on your office key.
@binderfan436 without the armor piercing rounds. 5.7 pretty much is a 22 mag. The ss190, ea t6b and one from a different company is some of the only ones that armor puercinh
I don't have enough knowledge to know whether I agree with you that the comparison to 22 Magnum is silly or not. On the face of it, velocity and bullet weight are indeed similar, at least for standard loadings of the 5.7. But it's hard for me to believe that FN would go to all the trouble of designing this thing and come up with anything even vaguely similar to a 22 Magnum!
@jwchenard1 the difference is the armor piercing capability. But nobody sees the rounds that even do that
I bought the beautiful Ruger 57 because it is one of the safest pistols in the word. It is NOT fully cocked when the slide is racked; pulling the light trigger finishes the cocking and lets the internal HAMMER fall on the waiting firing pin. The ambi manual safeties are useful for UTTER safety, but can be ignored too. The high velocity round has very little rise and fall, plus little wind drift, so it is very easy to shoot accurately, not to mention the light recoil for staying on target. The cartridge also has little ability to over-penetrate either; it dumps all of its velocity energy almost instantly, without much left to escape the target...........................elsullo
My wife carries one and has for years, with the standard 20 round magazine and a backup 30 round magazine !!! We researched the ballistics extensively and it holds its own against any carry caliber !! All this with capacity and extremely low recoil, it’s in a class by itself !!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
.
My brother gave up his .45 for the 5.7 after he was injured in Iraq in 2004. His war injuries would not allow recoil any longer. FN 5.7 and its negligible recoil is his go to if needed, though his desire to shoot much any more has waned post Iraq. Nadal Hassan used the 5.7 in the Ft. Hood massacre.
Yes unfortunately that incident proves 5.7 is more than enough
@@David-l7o1e I believe Wikipedia states he bought 3000 rounds of SS192 and SS197SR at the gun store he acquired the FN 5.7 from
@David-l7o1e all I have to say is your gonna get deeper penetrative power from the bullets designed with harder metal cores. Avoid any fragmention rounds with 5.7. the round was designed to tumble on impact which is where most your devastating wound track comes from these small bullets. We're gonna learn tumbling is more effective than a hollow point.
@David-l7o1e to prove my point 👉 fort Scott muntions makes a tumble 9mm go look at those results 👈
@@David-l7o1e *It's at your local gun store's expensive isle.
With more manufacturers making a 5.7 the cost of ammo has came down considerably. I saw it for .50 at AIM surplus.
for those of us who refuse to buy online we're kinda fucked tho. It's still 88c a round @ Bass Pro around here.
When shooting the FN you can feel speed of the shot. It flies fast and straighter further out. It's what I imagine how a laser gun would shoot.
Since we can't get the FN in Canada, I should check out the laws around stormtrooper blasters. I hear they have accuracy problems, but hey... A laser in the hand is worth an FN on the death star.
I have the old FNH 5.7
Still love shooting it
I have had an FN USG 5.7 since they came out. Carried daily for years because with a 30 round mag it still weighed less than my 1911 did empty. I also make ammo for sale and I made myself (before the bullets were discontinued) loads with the Barnes banded solids that nearly duplicate the original AP load but are civilian legal. Absolutely amazing. Only reason I switched is because I now have an FK Brno and I have the speed AND now double the mass.
I got the PSA in 5.7. Awesome little pistol. Ammo is a bit expensive but is coming down. Its far faster than a d 22 mag. Love the gun. Ive put about 500 rounds through the PSA and no problems or jams.
I am 70yo and in 1974 I got a Sharpshooter Ribbon in the Air Force. I could shoot anything because my Father taught me to. But in ALL of my years of shooting I have never seen a more Natural Shooter than you. I have been Subscribed to your channel for years and I am sorry for what TH-cam is doing to your channel, it is not right or fair. Dont worry though, these Perverts will be gone very soon and we can enjoy America once again.
Well said, brother. Thank you for your service
Charles is a great name, it was my uncles name also. He's been gone since 2014, he would be 78yo now and served in Vietnam and Korea. Agent Orange finally took him down. Charles, Thank You for your service and God Bless you brother 🙏🏻. 🇺🇲🗽
@@silvergrizzly316 It was MY pleasure. I learned to be a top Technician and was trained by some of the best Teachers I ever had. I used that knowledge to work as a Diesel and Auto Tech and retired in 2019. Life is Good when you retire, do not let anyone fool you about that.
TH-cam is the first place the next batch of draft notices needs to go.
Now that this is becoming manifest, perhaps we can deal with it.
In my opinion, it’s very very good for what is supposed to do. It was created to perform the same if not better than 9mm with more benefits. Which it does exactly that. The bullet is going faster, delivering more shock and can even penetrate enough to rip through the spine and essential organs with a good shot placement. Not to mention, it’s light, guns usually hold 15+. Expensive but that’s what you get with the gun world 💯
I had the pleasure of shooting one and it’s all that. Quality, reliability, velocity, accuracy…even tho she’s “blasty” like a .30 carbine chambered pistol. The only problem is that those rounds are some spendy little critters. Good thing that they’re reloadable.
Use caution when reloading 5.7! It CAN be done, however these cases are lacquer coated for ease of cycling and extraction…..a trip through a chamber…then several reloading dies and back into a chamber will surely remove MUCH of this lacquer and likely create reliability issues or extractor damage.
My favorite thing about it is you can carry a P-90 and the 5.7 and you only need one amo type
With the right(read: inaccessible to civilians) ammunition, this setup is even theoretically superior to an MP5 + your 9mm carry gun of choice! More ammo, more AP potential, and a more compact package. That being said, for most of us plebs that is not true.
Perfect for all your ‘off-world’ needs.
In a forensics class in college we went over the Fort Hood mass shooting case. I'll tell you from looking that horrific case that 5.7 is extremely effective.
I really would like one from S&W, ive shot the FN and its a lot of fun. Right at .50 a round for the cheaper ammo. Hard to train with economically.
I hope that the 5.7x28mm becomes more popular. I think it's a very good round.
The 5.7 x 28 just received SAAMI specification on July 11, 2024. It is speculated that more Ammo Mfgs will start producing more offerings, which should help prices come down.
Thanks for the share, Great information. I'm amazed it took so long.
Only gun channels I need are this one and forgotten weapons!
No other pistol can do that to a cinderblock! The 5.7 is truly a great invention. No wonder many nations have adopted it as their military sidearm.
He makes me feel welcome and relaxed. Most gun videos, make me feel like I need my peachy folder from high school, and that was over fifty years ago.
Stretch that round out, sir! It's a distance round meant for that far gong of yours.
but the pistol is made to penetrate armor on short distances. would be interesting to see up to what distance it still penetrates.
@@dertyp3463 The pistol? Or do you mean the bullet? Not sure if all 5.7 rounds being manufactured are armor penetrating. I know the American Eagle model isn't. FN's is I believe.
Not sure if anyone has done terminal ballistics tests on the round at various distances, but you raise a good question!
@@fleatactical7390 yeah I mean the pistol. It's not meant for range. No optic mounting and only iron sights. It's meant to provide similar penetration as a rifle would but in the package of a pistol. He explains that in the video as well btw.
Surgery on base of the thumb, retired my 1911 days. Went to 5.7 with no external safety. Don't feel under gunned!
LOVE HICKOK'S VIDEOS, ALWAYSE GOOD ONES!! 😀👍🤙👌🤟🤘👍😊
is he cute?
For those that like 5.7 ,you'll love the 22tcm.
OF course you have me at FN!
Bought an ar 57 from palmetto State. Shoots great, runs flawless and 50 round p90 mag. I recommend highly
I have a Ruger 5.7 and love it bought for me by my son and wife.
If you want to get nerdy, it's important to note that the energy of the projectile is proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, a 1600 ft per second round has about 75% more energy than a 1200 ft per second round, assuming the same weight bullet, even though it's going only 33 percent faster. Some 5.7 ammo can go 2400 ft per second or more. Such a round would have four times as much energy as the same slug at 1,200 ft per second.
It's also important to not that the energy of the projectile is mostly irrelevant in handguns, especially if the round passes through. Momentum has more of an impact on the ability to interrupt an attack and speed is linear there.
@@xckk5849 I don't understand the "linear" comment, but the "passes through" comment is very interesting, and certainly valid, especially with this cartridge.
Physics is absolutely awesome
@@xckk5849 Say what?
The greater the degree of energy deposition/kinetic transfer to tissue = The greater the degree of permanent tissue disruption. This is irrespective of whether the bullet is fired from a handgun or rifle.
Hence why the 460 s&w is actually superior to the 500. Not many people understand this seemingly simple physics concept
One of my favorites guns and calibers but its gotten very expensive at about $1.00 per round unfortunately.
So it's reloadable. Thats something to think about if components are available and the brass is good .
Absolutely love my PSA Rock. It came in ranger Green with a threaded barrel and a holosun Red Dot for next to nothing. I can dump around after around on a steel plate without that dot even moving. It currently resides in my truck.
20 5.7 rounds in such a small base mag will always be incredible.💯🔥
Daaaaamn, Hickok, the legend mastered those sights quickly. Most impressive!
weight savings not only for one person but a whole "platoon" shipping thousands of rounds adds up along with everything else. efficiency and speed
As a owner of a 5.7mm firearm, I think it is a bit overrated. It would be a fun range plinker, but ammo costs are stupid high for what it is. I think .22magnum is better for the money, but doesn’t have as many good platforms.
I like 22 wmr and 22 hornet as well
That was an interesting display of damage on the cinderblock. Hickok should do a similar display on multiple blocks with different handgun cartridges from .22 short to 500 S&W. Get on it!
5.7mm: Preferred firearm of NYC animal control. In case the next squirrel has level 4 plates.
lol Too soon, the nation is still healing
@@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw It's a rodent. Nation needs to grow a pair. I love animals too but it's not something to collectively mourn as a nation.
Almost half a million children have been smuggled across our border since 2020 and none of them are accounted for. Their parents do not know their whereabouts and they are indebted to the smugglers who brought them and used for all kinds of heinous behaviors.
That's what the nation should be mourning. A world record number of undocumented child slaves now exist within our border. We should be raging.
That can only take level 3A with the correct ammo.
3 is impossible and 4 the same
They killed Peanut with a 5.7???
@@xsourdeez413 Mosin Nagant I heard. His owner thought it would be funny to dress him up in a little Russian uniform, and Simo Hayha's great grandson wasn't in any mood!
A direct comparison shoot by you with a 22 WMR pistol (S&W ?) would be interesting!
was issued the handgun and machine gun while in spec ops when it first went into service, also have owned both since inception, will NEVER not be without one as this will do anything you need it to and then some, it is not for hunting large game(except humans) so no bear will drop(though it is possible with enough head shots!! if you have to chance to shoot a p90 do it and you will be hooked on this caliber FOR LIFE!!! 🤠
Wish I had a range like that in my backyard
These "little bastards" 5.7 FN and .17 HMR intrigue me MORE than .50 BMG, Yeah, I'm odd.
I'm a Fabrique National employee, I fire 3000 rounds per pistol/rifle as part of QC. The 5.7 is far the easiest to shoot because of the very low recoil. Unlike the HP, shooting that the whole day will make your hands sore at the end of the day. I prefer this one over anything. Doesn't make you odd. 1 .50 Cal round is around 15 dollar in the US if I'm not mistaken and doesn't apply for situations like home defence or daily carry. All practical purposes.
@@Casawi21 Not really, prices for .50 cal rounds are about 5 to 7 dollars on average. And some states are trying to ban it, which is unconstitutional for us. They're powerful cartridges, but rather limited in their application. Still, I think anyone should own one if they want.
I think the 5.7 round is pretty cool as well, and thank FN for designing it. A nice longer range round that gives the handgun format a bit more distance.
Yer not odd !! pelosi- she's pretty f'n odd !!
I kinda want one but the ammo would mean a second mortgage.
@@fleatactical7390 5.45x39mm is practically the bigger brother of the 5.7.
.50 Cal is way too big of a round for civilians in my humble opinion, but hey, protected the 2A, it's a free land.
I think folks expect more out of it than it can deliver, mostly due to the "armor penetrating" hype that requires round non-military/non-LE folks generally can't obtain. It's good at doing what it's designed to do - provide a realistic PDW round for rear-area troops in a select-fire format that is effective at 100 meters. It's not 5.56, but on the other hand, folks who compare it to the .22 Magnum are folks who can't do math. I have a PS90, a Ruger 57 pistol and LC carbine and no illusions about what they can do - none of them are my go-to for "social purposes".
you can buy those armor rounds on gunbroker or wherever online, its just that FN themselves decide to not to sell it to civilians
H.45 is a natural with a gun, and modest like most ,masters.
5.7 imo is perfect. It's able to do the work at longer distance, and fast af. The five/seven pistol barrel is too short to get the max bang out of the cartridge. But out of of 8in barrel you get all the joy.
nice caliber, low recoil good penetration, light ammo. Expensive, though

Great video thank you 😊
This round is overrated, it just has a very specific use which is absolutely blowing through armor, so there isn’t much of point in using it for self set and the civilian market in general. Though it is good for those that are recoil sensitive
The rounds are so damn expensive that my ps90 just sits on the shelf collecting dust since I never shoot it
Wildcat rounds are hard to find and expensive when other rounds do the job perfectly well
Its not overrated if you like paying rifle prices for pistol ammo. My buddy has an off brand pistol. Its pretty darn neat but id have to get the p-90 if im buying 5.7 ammo
Thanks Hickok!
It’s such a fast round i was hoping you would hit the gong to hear how quick it gets there.
When Hicok45 smiles, you know it's a good gun! :)
dude looks so happy in this video lol keep blasting
When he said the bullets were 127 grs, I thought Damn!! that must be some really long bullets (: At 2:23 on video.
Yeah, I heard that too and had to go back. I knew they were only normally around 30 gr so I figured I had just misheard him. Nope.
Would you prefer this or the 9mm reflex? For cc everyday?
I have the FN57 and several 9mm's. For me, average sized guy, the 57 is a little too big for EDC so I have some smaller 9mm's that I use. I found a threaded barrel for the FN and with a Red Dot and the suppressor, it's my house gun. Don't care what you're wearing when you come into my house, I can put a hole in you. Then there are the Elite T6B +P AP rounds... Several dollars per round but 2,500 fps out of a pistol is amazing.
Die 5.7 x 28 wurde von FN in den 80.Jahren für den Personenschutz entwickelt. Es sollte wesentlich besser Körperschutz penetrieren und deutlich weniger Rückstoß als die 9 mm Para oder Luger.
Die militärische Munition mit ihrem typischen Tannenzapfen Geschoss ist der Zivilen erheblich in Penetration und auch Stoppwirkung überlegen.
Can you show a close up comparison between 5.7 and 22mag?
Hmmm, interesting comments. My opinion... caliber in a handgun is almost unimportant - within reason (.25 auto need not apply...) - what's important with a handgun is hitting what you're shooting at, which most handgunners are very poor at. Hitting your target is a matter of many hours and thousands of rounds of practice. Most handgunners would be more effective spending their money on range fees, ammo, and targets than a different handgun.
It's a gun we all fell in love with in black ops 2 than we got one in real life and we are like eh
I had my 5.7 6 years before everybody knew about it...I bought mine when it was $700 in 2004
I have had horrible luck with FN. I'm not saying they are a bad manufacturer but I am cursed with their products. I've had a five seven that was sent back three times and still couldn't make 100 rounds without lite strikes and double feeding. I also had an FNX that shipped with a crooked frame. The only product from them I have had luck with was a 509C and even then it had a rough break in period. I am glad 5.7 is getting popular because it was such a fun and controllable round. Thinking of getting a ruger 57 or a Rock.
Gee! Noting that the ammo tray is to Hickock45's left side when reloading the magazine, ya think relocating the ammo tray to Hickok45's right side would lessen the labor of picking up the rounds and placing them in the magazine.
Hickok45 having to reach from right-to-left-and-right again to load the magazine seems laborious when considering the multiple rounds he is loading.
Waiting on you to try out the tisas px 57 .. curious of your take on it just picked up mines last week love it ❤
I dunno. I know that 38SW is under rated bigtime. Also 30-30. Heavy slow is better SD than light fast... maybe. Controllable and not excessive noise is better than super sonic unless your long range hunting.
I totally agree with you on decision on the FN 5.7.
Is quality.
But, Hickock...will it smoke pot? 🤨
I’ve had one since 04, and carried it on occasions I prefer a smaller micro 9 for comfort but I’ve found myself in areas that having a 20 round magazine and a back up 30 round magazine is preferred. If you are going to carry one as a self defense weapon do not carry the blue tip FN ammo or hollow points the round does not have enough mass to make it effective as a an expanding round the American eagle fmj are known to tumble in soft targets similar to the 5.56 55 grain fmj and this makes them more effective than the very limited expansion and energy transfer of the hp rounds. They also more effective at penetrating cover and while not AP rounds they have a better chance against level 3 soft armor.
Agreed on all of this but remember the third rule about whats behind and around your target when carrying a hyper round like 5.7, or even like my old 7.62 tokarev. More damage and penitration is great but not always good.
The pure joy he displayed while shooting the 5.7 is cool to see.
Remembering what it's designed for I think it's a good round and a good set of firearms. I've got a PS-90 and it does its job. I do not have a 5.7 pistol as I'm not much of a pistol person. I was certain that twisty magazine feed would be fussy but I've never had any trouble. Whether it's the best firearm you could buy with that many dollars is another question. I'm not sorry I bought mine.
The five seven isn't a bad pistol. I really like all the ones I've shot. The issue for me is regarding the round itself. All testing I've seen/done shows it to be more or less on par with 22 mag due to ammo restrictions.
ahh!. an awesome choice stranger, it's ammo will penetrate just about anything.
First time seeing somebody shoot a coconut and im subscribed too lol, suprised i havent seen you do it beforec
I have shot both the FN and the Rugar and the Rugar is half the price and way more reliable. The FN has feeding issues or at least it used to. I'm not a fan because of the over penetratrion and cost. I'll stick with my 9mm. When it comes to hand guns, it always seems to come back to the 9mm once the craze wears off
I don't like the Rugar, or even the Ruger .
I’ll stick with .40 and 10mm
Love the hammerless recoil on this firearm
Dudes a national treasure.
57 in a p90 is cool, but I just dont have any interest in a 57 handgun
Considering the ammo available to Civilians is little more than .22Magnum +P+, is 5.7 x 28 Overrated?
Hell yes.
As long as the ammo that really makes 5.7 x 28 shine is unavailable to the Civilian market, it will be overrated and too expensive.
I ended up going with S&W 57 with the Tempo barrel! Better shooting and 22+1
Favorite CT pistol
Will Glock be making one of these?? How does the reliability of this compare to a good old fashioned Glock??
My carry is a Ruger 5.7
The answer is NO. The five seven is not overrated. Love my mk1 five seven.
Didn't know you could grow coconut here, and I'm a little south of you!
While 5.7 has a slight edge on the 22 mag. I could never see the difference in price. As long as 5.7 is priced like 5.56 and 7.62x39 I will never be a player.
This is one of the finest handguns ever machined in terms of its simplistic but elegant design. It is way too overrated in terms of its special .22 caliber and extremely expensive cartridge ammunition. If you research why law enforcement purchases this gun as a standard sidearm for their police forces in the United States, you'll find that there are a myriad of illegal satellite companies getting so many kickbacks for this highly overrated firearm. Not recommended for personal protection.
Very good machining design though in terms of how the rounds are chambered with almost zero chance of jamming and a minimal amount of parts to assemble the weapon.
FN are a reputable firearm company.I used the FN rifle as well as the MAG during the Rhodesian Bush War so reliable
Certainly a cool round from a technical perspective, and obviously the gun manufacturer makes a great product. But one has to ask why a normal person would ever need to consider it, given that 9 mm is perfectly adequate and significantly less expensive, and there are many excellent and significantly less expensive firearms to shoot it from. Basically, 5.7 is an expensive novelty that's fun to play with for folks who enjoy firearms and can afford to buy extra pistols.
Round count and recoil. The PSA Rock holds 23+1 in a flush fit magazine and kicks like a kitten. Great for those who don't carry a backup mag and/or may be recoil sensitive. A 5.7 pistol can be bought for $500. Not really gonna break the bank buying one.

@@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw😂
Arthritis sufferers.
Why? Very little recoil making it easy to shoot; small wind drift or trajectory rise and fall make aiming simple; and small chance of overpenetration. Low weight and high capacity too for a bonus.............................elsullo
The FN Five Seven Mk3 is overrated. I was kinda disappointed with my purchase but nevertheless I keep it in my collection because it's become a staple in the gun community. My main gripe with it is that it comes with those weak glow in the dark sights instead of tritium sights. I mean if it's supposed to be a tactical pistol, how do you not ship it with tritium night sights. Honestly, who's got time to run a flashlight across their sights before engaging in self defense? I could add a red dot or a laser but why should I HAVE to? I should be able to run the gun vanilla and be prepared for almost any occasion. Other than that, the grip is a tad short, or maybe my hands are just too large. Outside of that, it's a good gun but for the price i just expected a little more. Look at the FNX 45 tac or the 545 tac, they both have night sights and the grip is the perfect length
Hi Hickok45.
E Very interesting gun 💥💥💥
The cinder block answered the overrated question 🤦♂️
How often have you needed to defend yourself against cinder blocks? ;)
Well, apparently it takes quite a few more shots to blow apart a cinder block than the more common service calibers, but as you implied, that's not a good measure of its effectiveness for self-defense or other purposes.
so how was the EAR-PRO

... be all well soon!!
My fav in counter strike.
The stuff they don’t tell u the slide gets real hot after one mag. Thats why im kinda iffy on this round
