The Smith & Wesson 5.7 is Smith & Wesson’s bold entry into the increasingly popular 5.7x28mm pistol market—a caliber once reserved for niche platforms and law enforcement use. Designed from the ground up for speed, capacity, and control, this pistol blends innovative engineering with familiar ergonomics to offer a shooting experience that’s both powerful and approachable.

At the heart of the S&W 5.7 is the Tempo Barrel System, a unique two-piece gas-operated design that delays the unlocking of the barrel until pressure has safely dropped. This system not only helps tame the already light recoil of the 5.7x28mm cartridge but also ensures smooth cycling and faster follow-up shots. Combined with a full 5-inch barrel, the pistol maximizes the ballistic potential of the round, delivering flat trajectories, minimal muzzle rise, and high velocities in a package that feels almost like cheating when compared to traditional calibers.

Capacity is a standout feature, with 22+1 rounds in the flush-fit magazine—giving you nearly rifle-level ammo reserves in a pistol-sized platform. This makes it ideal for target shooting, home defense, or anyone who appreciates high-capacity options without sacrificing control.

The frame is polymer with a steel slide, featuring forward and rear serrations, an optic-ready cut, and a Picatinny rail for adding lights or lasers. The trigger is a flat-faced design, crisp with a clean break, and the grip angle is familiar to anyone who’s handled other Smith & Wesson M&P series handguns.

Weighing in at around 26 ounces unloaded, the S&W 5.7 feels lightweight yet substantial in the hand. The long slide and barrel contribute to a longer sight radius, enhancing precision when shooting with iron sights. But for those looking to run an optic, the factory-cut slide makes mounting a red dot simple and seamless.

Whether you're new to the 5.7x28mm platform or a fan of innovative firearms, the Smith & Wesson 5.7 delivers impressive performance in a well-balanced, modern package. It’s a soft-shooting, high-capacity, fast-firing pistol that brings the futuristic 5.7 experience to a more affordable and accessible level—without sacrificing quality or reliability.
