Excellent video. The narrow grip fits my hand perfect. I guess there's no one size fits all. Being too thin is always better than being too thick. You can always make the grip thicker, but you can't make it thinner.

The trigger seems phenomenal but the grip just feels weird in my hand. We’ll see how it feels when I shoot it. Thank you very much for the video.
You are very welcome, thank you for watching. I agree it does feel pretty weird. I just got my Hogue grip in yesterday and put it on so we will see if that helps. I do like my original FN but I would like to have the new generation one as well.

You can bring Suppressors out of state without prior notification to ATF. However, you cannot bring the SBRs or SBS out of state without prior ATF notification
First, you do not need ATF approval to transport silencers across state lines. You need ATF approval to transport machine guns and SBRs, but not silencers. See ATF Form 5320.20 and the ATF's FAQ on interstate transport. Second, the 90% of grips too large for my hands drives me crazy. Stock AR-15 grips are literally the only AR grips not uncomfortably large for my hands. Some of us search high and low, the world over for small grips. You can glue padding to the sides to fill up your sasquatch hands. Please let us enjoy the rare occasion when a manufacturer comes with a grip size other than gigantic. Great video. Much appreciated!
Nothing wrong with the grip on that pistol. You may not like it, but that's nothing more than personal preference. I think it's the best of the recent offerings in 5.7x28mm semiautomatic pistols.

Great review, this is the next addition to my collection. Something you might try is fingerless gloves with padded palms. They will help fill the gap on the grip and being fingerless they do not affect the trigger feel. Again great honest review.
I really want to get an M&P 5.7 to try my 5.56 suppressor on. Since the threaded barrel doesn’t move then it should be able to handle the weight of a rifle can.
If you carry a glock 19 then you can carry the m$p5.7, theres only like halve an inch that the 5.7 is longer but because its skinnier it fits perfectly on my lap. I always carry the 5.7
Ive been having problems with mag feeding ammo called coustomer service sent me new springs for both mags waiting to see if that helps. Ammo falls out of mag rounds jam in mag and i had to hit the mag ammo jam to clear jam not good. Heard a lot of shooters having this problem.
Brand new owner just ran first four mags through my gun. Loaded one and left it overnight. Other than that everything was straight out of the factory out of the box. I did notice it looked like someone had taken a sharpie to the tops of the followers… Not me. Could be some additional QC inspection mark? Anyway, I’d say that the mag problems that I read about before I purchased seem to be fixed, at least on unboxing.
I mean with how awkward as that is, how hard would it of been to adopt side panels or something to shape it more. That trigger legit close to a Rival? I have a rival and haven't shot anything with a trigger close to it
I have big hands. i just bought the .45 verison. I wanted the 10mm. But they dont have a threaded option for them factory. I do have a ruger 5.7 wish it had a threaded barrel factory
Agreed. I'm going to build up the grip with Talon grip tape. I have smaller hands and as a result it fits me better. Also, it's my most accurate firearm. My preferred use for it will be home defense, not carry. One thing to be careful for: slide gets really hot. It will burn your thumb if not careful.
Got mine a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to go to the range and mine wouldn't fire.the firing pin isnt striking the bullet at all.i just emailed s&w.
Nice review. I'm sure you will get the grip sorted out. On a funny side note, I do think I know a guy that will probably edc one if he gets it: He used to carry a .50 DE, crossdraw IWB w/a holster he rigged up from a nylon shoulder holster. Rock on! 🤣🤣🤣
Have you had trouble with mag catching on the mag release when seating the mag ? I give it a nice push and it goes right in , but it’s definitely catching on the inside of the gun, catching on the mag release button
I have had a few issues with inserting magazines. It’s hit or miss though. Sometimes they go right in and sometimes I have to slam them to get them in.
Just grabbed one today may do a vid on it, didn’t watch many reviews; just saw it and wanted it… will say a bit disappointed with the mag not seating issue and also had the follower stick quite a bit at first. Mags definitely need rounds through them to work properly
I have them both the FN and M&P. I have had a failure to feed after 2 rounds in the smith & Wesson. The magazine needs a recall it sucks so far idk maybe it’s just mine but I’m using fn ammunition could take the issue
Which one is heavier ? I’m more worried about the weight before I purchase my dad had the Fn 5.7 for 10 years now and I’ll shot it plenty of times. But I just can’t stand the fact of how bulky it is.
I just bought one and loaded my mags and had the same issue fitting 23 in. I’m afraid to slam the mag hard so I’m just letting the full mags sit until I go fire it this week. When I was loading one mag, the spring gave and and I could turn the mag upside down and shake my rounds out. Hopefully letting them set full will break the mags in. This is my first Mn’P and I’ve read about other spring issues in mags. I’m hoping all goes well at the range. Where can I find accessories? Is the optic rmsc rated for anything?
Your grips are the same as mine with Ruger57. Which I managed to fix with the assistance of a Hogue slip-on sleeve then I took a piece of scotch brite and jammed it into the inside of the sleeve increasing the palm swell. After that, I did the old baking soda super glue trick in order to lock everything into place. It works better than I originally anticipated because I enjoy riding the safety with my thumb. I would post a picture but this (TH-cam)platform will not allow me to post a photo. Cheers
The narrow grip is a reason for me to want it. I have small hands. I am just guessing that it would also be more comfortable to carry. Just think of the Sig 365...also narrow. And, it shoots flat. All good.
Former Marine, current naval officer….lifelong gun enthusiast. I’m all for firing weapons that fit well with your biometrics, but at the end of the day you work with the tools you have, not those you prefer. For some reason the M-16A2 charging handle would smack me in the nose when I tried to sight in closely at 500yards. I had to adjust myself around the weapon and figure out a way to shoot accurately without getting my nose bruised. I did.
@@DeshCanter I own several firearms so I can choose what best fits me. If I was issues this firearm I would adjust my grip or learn better how to make it fit me. Seeing that I don’t have to do that I’ll stick with Staccatos, and Zev 226’s
Curious if you’ve noticed any accuracy issues when suppressing this gun? Since it looks like the can mounts to that external tube rather than the barrel itself, I’m curious how that affects consistency of POI shift?
Great review. I'm eager to try this one. I'll say my S&W shield plus is similar with loading the mag. Tight with the slide closed but no problem with slide open.
the PSA ROCK feels far better in hand, but the trigger on the M&P is far superior. I hated the M&P grip at first but after a few weeks it didn't bother me anymore. My issue was that the mags couldn't be fully loaded without it binding up and dumping half our rounds out of the mag.
Was excited when I heard about its release. Saw one at a gun show, once I picked up in the hand was very disappointed. If you hold your phone sideways is about how it feels to grip this gun, felt like my finger was awkwardly hanging out when gripping. Would like to see a little palm swell when they come out with the 2.0.
Main reason I wouldn’t is because it’s to large. If a pistol isn’t comfortable to carry you are more likely to leave it at home and not carry it all the time.
How does the Hogue grip on it feel, ergonomically without shooting it? This was a great video, I’m getting ready to buy one but after what you said, not without fondling it first :)😮 thank you!
I wear xl gloves don't have long fingers just thick but this grip fits me just right you look like you got much longer fingers an with the lack of palm swell might be over compensating by not putting as much finger in the trigger your shot pattern looks to me as if your trigger finger is pushing the gun just a hair when you pull the trigger. Try putting alittle more of your finger through the trigger well. Say if your using the tip of your finger now try it with it right before the crook or the finger see if it pulls it back to the right alittle. I know when your use to a certain grip set up like fatty palm swels an a beefy grip an you drastically switch up to how narrow that mp 57 it can be the smallest things that can throw you off but yeah this thing is byfar my favorite handling gun flat shooting at range accurate as hell no recoil an the mag I found is easier on everything to load with the slide back too I don't like having to slap it in so hard.
The Ruger57 has the same issue, the grip is wide and thin, I have big hands so I had to add a Hogue grip with a Glock grip sleeve with the finger cut aways over it, I even had to put squares of neoprene under these grips to thicken it up
I like it aesthetically and the "gas system" is great. However the slide bite I'd get based on the thickness of my hands prevents me from purchasing it.
I've seen several reviews of the S&W 5.7X28mm on You Tube. In every case the gun has shot to the left. One tester believes the cause is because of the grip, which causes the hand to twist the gun slightly to the left.
If you are used to holding a 2x4 grip aka full-size glock I guess this would feel too thin. It reminds me of some of the higher end 1911s I’ve fired that have thinner scales.
Bought one last Thursday, in part because my recently released from jail suppressor is compatible with 5.7, I don't have big hands so it fits me fine, granted I haven't shot it yet. Do wish I would've looked it over closer because in the crappy lighting in the sporting goods store I bought it at (surprisingly for less than what I could find it online) I would've noticed that the coating on the back of the slide is over coated or some debris was on the slide when it was applied, minor but lacking QA is lacking QA, my M&P 2.0 Compact OR had its own QA issue with a stripped screw in the optic cut cover but I took care of that myself, can't exactly fix the finish, so I might be sending it to Smith and Wesson to look over. Not a huge deal but $700 (after taxes) is $700. Wish I noticed it in the store, might've gotten a little discount out of it. That ammo cost though, even online. Hopefully with the increased popularity, the NATO adoption and increased production, it'll go down a lot.
There's a reason why most 5.7 gun have adjustable sights. Different bullet weight with shoot drastically different. Low, high, to the left. It's not like 9mm where different weights aren't thaaat much, Still combat accurate
I had to tap the mag pretty good to get it to lock in with 22 rounds, a lot like on a rifle but that’s just my experience. I don’t mind the thinness of it, my previous edc was a Taurus PT1911AR and that was a pain to carry open or concealed. This M&P is crazy to carry and I can barely tell it’s there. I have pretty decent sized hands and my right hand only contacts at the front and rear of the grip but I’m getting used to that. 1911s have a fairly thin grip as well other than the grip panels that work as grip swells so it’s different.
The Ruger is narrow also. I found that the Ruger was much more comfortable and i didnt like the fact that the pin came out like the Pmr 30. I dont like loose pieces in the field. So on that note i picked up the Ruger for my Girl because the pmr 30 is unreliable. She is not good at manipulating the pistol when there are problems.
Nice honest review. I really want to check out this pistol. I have medium size hands and the wider pistols have always been less accurate for me. Thank God TH-cam doesn’t consider that a banned video. Lol
The grip thing just sounds like a personal issue. The gun design itself seems incredible, and I hope it gets torture tested to see if locking bolt/gas slide is reliable for handguns
@@Codeman785 Just saying Beretta has used that system for years it's a proven design. The locking barrel is nothing new as I said I don't know about gas operated.
@@Codeman785 So you just want to argue talking about a locking barrel in a hand gun has nothing to do with the fact that the video is about the 5.7 so have a nice evening and consider our conversation over with.👍
I'm not a lawyer, but you might want to check with one because I BELIEVE that you should be able to cross state lines with your suppressors as long as you have your NFA paperwork on you. Don't quote me on that and definitely do not do it without consulting an lawyer with NFA expertise, but as I understand it, only SBRs require specific permission from the ATF to cross state lines with, unless there are some additional state laws to worry about.
I got the same weapon and I have a large hand but I get a pretty good group with it I don't think it's the narrow grip it might be your anticipated the wiggle just be chill with it
Hogue grip or mcnett camo form wrap fix's the grip problem for bigger hands , used camo wrap for years on certain pistols , I never wanted a 5.7 til this came out
All the smith and wesson handguns i have owned had a notorious tightness they haven’t been broken in give it a month or 2 and the magazine tention will fix itself
The grip narrowness is to accommodate the longer rilfe-shaped round. If it had a wider grip you wouldn't be able to get your hands around the grip to reach the trigger. This is the case in every 5.7 pistol and has been known for decades. 🤷
Not true! I put on a hogue grip that increased the width of the pistol and filled in my palms. I shoot this pistol way more accurately now. My FN Fiveseven is also quiet a bit wider than the S&W.
I conceal the ruger, I’ll conceal this (the tempo rotating barrel is amazing along with the gas system and the long slide it has no recoil at all, less than the alien, almost like a .22LR!
The thinness is one of the main reasons I want it.
Same. Just held one yesterday, but it honestly felt kinda weird in my hand.
Nothing I wouldn’t get used to, but palm swells would appeal to a larger amount of people if I had to guess
I have one. I like how thin it is. I'm 6 feet. Comfortable for larger hand
Same here! Thin, light, and FAST!
Damn, right
Okay I'm sold,Thanks
The “most people wont concealed carry a pistol this size” gave me a good chuckle.
Yeah we know he's all full of shit for a TH-cam video
Excellent video. The narrow grip fits my hand perfect. I guess there's no one size fits all. Being too thin is always better than being too thick. You can always make the grip thicker, but you can't make it thinner.
Most shooters now are used of Glock ergonomics. AKA 2x4 for a pistol grip. This thing isn’t any thinner than some high end 1911s I’ve held
I like the narrowness, I'm 140 pounds, very thin, and this gun is currently my normal conceal carry.

I know when your use to a certain grip set up like fatty palm swels an a beefy grip an you drastically switch up to how narrow that mp 57 it can be the smallest things that can throw you off but yeah this thing is byfar my favorite handling gun flat shooting at range accurate as hell no recoil an the mag I found is easier on everything to load with the slide back too I don't like having to slap it in so hard.
The Ruger57 has the same issue, the grip is wide and thin, I have big hands so I had to add a Hogue grip with a Glock grip sleeve with the finger cut aways over it, I even had to put squares of neoprene under these grips to thicken it up
Thank you for this video. Clearly, the 5.7 offers minimal recoil. I must strongly consider acquiring one in the near future.
I think it’s narrow because polymer technology has improved significantly since the FN
Was about to say look's like TN/NC border area, I'm watching from Johnson City.
I like it aesthetically and the "gas system" is great. However the slide bite I'd get based on the thickness of my hands prevents me from purchasing it.
I haven’t had any slide bite yet but my hands are pretty skinny
I've seen several reviews of the S&W 5.7X28mm on You Tube. In every case the gun has shot to the left. One tester believes the cause is because of the grip, which causes the hand to twist the gun slightly to the left.
I have a video where I put a grip sleeve on it and it fixed my issues with that.
that's my problem with the stock P365 grip.
way too small to not rotate in your hand or have a correct length of pull.
So you don’t like it because it’s too thin? You are the only gun reviewer in the world that has ever complained about that issue.
Maybe it’s because a lot of the other ones got them for free and I paid for mine so I can talk about all the issues I have with it
If you are used to holding a 2x4 grip aka full-size glock I guess this would feel too thin. It reminds me of some of the higher end 1911s I’ve fired that have thinner scales.
the grip is just poorly designed.
Hold a PSA ROCK in your hand for comparison.
Bought one last Thursday, in part because my recently released from jail suppressor is compatible with 5.7, I don't have big hands so it fits me fine, granted I haven't shot it yet. Do wish I would've looked it over closer because in the crappy lighting in the sporting goods store I bought it at (surprisingly for less than what I could find it online) I would've noticed that the coating on the back of the slide is over coated or some debris was on the slide when it was applied, minor but lacking QA is lacking QA, my M&P 2.0 Compact OR had its own QA issue with a stripped screw in the optic cut cover but I took care of that myself, can't exactly fix the finish, so I might be sending it to Smith and Wesson to look over. Not a huge deal but $700 (after taxes) is $700. Wish I noticed it in the store, might've gotten a little discount out of it.
That ammo cost though, even online. Hopefully with the increased popularity, the NATO adoption and increased production, it'll go down a lot.
The magazine loading and mag seating gets better after about 300 rounds.
There's a reason why most 5.7 gun have adjustable sights. Different bullet weight with shoot drastically different. Low, high, to the left. It's not like 9mm where different weights aren't thaaat much, Still combat accurate
I had to tap the mag pretty good to get it to lock in with 22 rounds, a lot like on a rifle but that’s just my experience. I don’t mind the thinness of it, my previous edc was a Taurus PT1911AR and that was a pain to carry open or concealed. This M&P is crazy to carry and I can barely tell it’s there. I have pretty decent sized hands and my right hand only contacts at the front and rear of the grip but I’m getting used to that. 1911s have a fairly thin grip as well other than the grip panels that work as grip swells so it’s different.
PSA has 150 round box of Fiocchi 5.7 for $75 ...50 cents a round.
Have you tried the PSA rock you might like it better
Do a review with the grip sleeve.
I did
Great review. Is the recoil less than a 380 acp pistol?
The Ruger is narrow also.
I found that the Ruger was much more comfortable and i didnt like the fact that the pin came out like the Pmr 30.
I dont like loose pieces in the field.
So on that note i picked up the Ruger for my Girl because the pmr 30 is unreliable.
She is not good at manipulating the pistol when there are problems.
I think hes just punching the trigger. The gun is top of the line and price is great.
I fixed the issue with a grip sleeve. So I don’t think it was my trigger control.
Nice honest review. I really want to check out this pistol. I have medium size hands and the wider pistols have always been less accurate for me. Thank God TH-cam doesn’t consider that a banned video. Lol
So it need side grips.
The grip thing just sounds like a personal issue. The gun design itself seems incredible, and I hope it gets torture tested to see if locking bolt/gas slide is reliable for handguns
Beretta has been making the locking barrel for years I don't know if they make a gas operated handgun.
@@butplug-s1k Beretta? Who said anything about Beretta??
@@Codeman785 Just saying Beretta has used that system for years it's a proven design. The locking barrel is nothing new as I said I don't know about gas operated.
@@butplug-s1k well this is a video about s&w 5.7.............
@@Codeman785 So you just want to argue talking about a locking barrel in a hand gun has nothing to do with the fact that the video is about the 5.7 so have a nice evening and consider our conversation over with.👍
Sounds like tubby hands are the problem, not the thin grip.
I'm not a lawyer, but you might want to check with one because I BELIEVE that you should be able to cross state lines with your suppressors as long as you have your NFA paperwork on you. Don't quote me on that and definitely do not do it without consulting an lawyer with NFA expertise, but as I understand it, only SBRs require specific permission from the ATF to cross state lines with, unless there are some additional state laws to worry about.
Thank you for the info sir ! 😊🎉🎉😊
I got the same weapon and I have a large hand but I get a pretty good group with it I don't think it's the narrow grip it might be your anticipated the wiggle just be chill with it
What’s recool?
Ask your mom!
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Hogue grip or mcnett camo form wrap fix's the grip problem for bigger hands , used camo wrap for years on certain pistols , I never wanted a 5.7 til this came out
That thing is so flat!!! Wow! Would be great if it got enough popularity for someone like icarus to do a grip module for it.
That would be awesome if they would make a grip for it. I did order the slide on grip so we will revisit it when that comes in.
I have one it chambers all 22+1 one of my favorite guns
Looks like it has great mechanical accuracy.
Wrap some layers of Teflon around the handle to widen the grip
I’m in North Carolina I’m tryna find a good range
All the smith and wesson handguns i have owned had a notorious tightness they haven’t been broken in give it a month or 2 and the magazine tention will fix itself
Totally agree with you on the how the grip feels, maybe they will change something with a future generation. Not going to hold my breath though.
The grip narrowness is to accommodate the longer rilfe-shaped round. If it had a wider grip you wouldn't be able to get your hands around the grip to reach the trigger. This is the case in every 5.7 pistol and has been known for decades. 🤷
Not true! I put on a hogue grip that increased the width of the pistol and filled in my palms. I shoot this pistol way more accurately now. My FN Fiveseven is also quiet a bit wider than the S&W.
@@gearrunner Great! For the 90% of girl sized hand havers that's not really necessary.
Interesting very interesting.
Got my Hogue grip sleeve in yesterday, so we will re visit it soon
I have 3 fivesevens. I thought I would like the thinness of the S&w but I found it uncomfortable. The usg fsn fits me the best
Probably can get some different custom handle grips as time goes by.
They should make it a quad stack mag if it's not wide enough
Please put your NEW sleave on the grip and give us another video; if you notice a difference in your accuracy??? Thanks😉👍🇺🇸
I put the sleeve on yesterday. I’m hoping to make it back to my range one day this week.
@@gearrunner Excellent, look forward to your update video👍🇺🇸
@@cccalifornia7206 hopefully next week
This gun just perfect and sooooo accurate
I'm happy with my PSA Rock 5.7✌️
I conceal the ruger, I’ll conceal this (the tempo rotating barrel is amazing along with the gas system and the long slide it has no recoil at all, less than the alien, almost like a .22LR!
