the fact that there are 4 different pistols in 5.7 is crazy I didnt expect it to become that popular

Hoping the ammo eventually goes down with the increase in popularity

@richb2229 10 месяцев назад

Especially at the price of 5.7 ammo!

@raifsevrence 10 месяцев назад

It took the industry a really long time to get here. When Ruger made the decision to enter the market with the only mainstream competition to FN, it opened the flood gates so to speak. There are more and more sub guns and pcc's being chambered in 5.7 as well. Eventually, it will hopefully lead to reasonably priced ammo on top of reasonably priced platforms.

@MiraSC 10 месяцев назад

Nato finally adopted it if I remember right, so now companies are making guns in it. Should also increase the ammo production and some day lower the price.

Check out their M110 clone rifle. Available in 308 & 6.5 creed. Sub MOA gas gun, full of features, looks fantastic & priced at $1299 or $1499 depending on which options you choose. Great AR10 style rifle. Some have reported theirs was under gassed, but that's easy to fix or PSA has full lifetime warranty & will handle issues promptly!!

Loved the comparison! The Smith got me excited about 5.7, but I got the Rock because I was curious about a gun designed (not just built) by PSA, and also because for me I can't see myself switching from 9mm to 5.7, so investing in the more expensive pistol didn't make much sense. The Rock is a nice shooter though!

@TheJHMAN1 10 месяцев назад

And for 500 you get 10 mags and a Nice case. Mag cost is also something to consider.

I’m a big fan of 5.7 and have all four of these. I like the rock the best, by far. He didn’t mention some Glock aftermarket compatibility, which is nice. You made a great choice and saved money. My least favorite is the SW, it it’s the only one that shoots subsonic reliably.

@andrebunting7603 10 месяцев назад

@77Infidel 10 месяцев назад

I went back and forth on whether to get a 5.7, with it being a new caliber to me, and all. I ended up with a CZ Shadow2 SA, as I am more set with 9mm. The PSA, (in my opinion), hands down the best, sexy/handsome, great pricepoint of the four. I am glad you like yours. It is now officially on my radar.

@556colt 10 месяцев назад

I have the original FiveseveN, PSA Rock, and the S&W. Just need the Ruger to round it out. 😅 The S&W feels the best to me, and the PSA is amazing for the price. Sadly the FN was the first, but probably at the bottom of my list also.

@lennyinne 10 месяцев назад

I have owned 3 out of the 4. The m&p is superior and the only one I still have. The trigger is one of the best out of the box for a pistol in this price range. The fn is dead, feels cheaply made compared to all others and has minimal features for the price.

What I like about my S&W 5.7 is that the slim profile let's me easily carry it in a belly holster at 3 o'clock (lefty). The gun is light and easy to conceal against the body. 22+1 gives me the chance not to have to carry an extra mag. As for the ammo cost, if you shop around you can find prices at .40$ / Rd. Not great but not as bad anymore as it was 6 months ago. Good review, like the format of comparing similar guns to each other.

I've been thoroughly pleased with my PSA. For $600, I got one with suppressor-height sights, a threaded barrel, a Holosun 407K, and two magazines. And magazines are about $20 a piece. The only jam I've had with it was one I caused by miscounting how many rounds I'd put into the magazine. Otherwise, it's cycled and shot everything I've fed it, and it's easy to be accurate with. It's now my carry gun for when I'm going to be around a lot of people, thanks to its capacity and the ballistics of the 5.7 round.

The fantastic grip and super low price of the PSA just made more sense.

The one point you missed is the availability of a matching rifle with the Ruger LC Carbine, Diamondback DBX and various FN mag compatible AR platforms. Of course this probably only a temporary advantage because PSA and Smith are almost certainly going to have their own matching carbines in the near future.
