I heard a rumor that other manufacturers were coming out with pistols designed for the 5.7 bullet. Has anyone else heard this?
5.7 pistols other than the FN FiveseveN?

Wow, I hope so........but isn't the reason that the 5-7 looks so odd is because it has to??
I mean if Glock were to make a 5.7x28mm pistol it wouldn't be too easy to make it still look like a glock?
A G19 in 5.7 would be nice. Or .45acp.

It looks like the OAL for 5.7x28 is about 38mm
45/10mm is 32mm
Basically, there's now way you'd fit that into existing handgun platforms. It wouldn't even fit into a 10mm/45 acp sized frame. That's a big reason nobody chambers their pistols in it.

Thats what I was afraid of. Its also the most "hated" new round as well.
Its hard to market it if half of everybody: wants to ban it because it's too powerful? And the other half hates it cause its wimpy? I don't think I'd want to spend R&D on it either.
I like it, it tested well for me. ( I use it in the PS90 rifle though, 16" barrel might make a difference.)

I'd be all over a pocket pistol in that caliber. KelTec, are you listening?

Seems to be only hated by people who have not shot it.

I think it would be cool in a varmint gun. It's like a supersized .17 HMR...
Small revolver like the ruger bearcat or even a blackhawk would be a fun varmint gun, remember the blackhawk was chambered in .30 carbine. It would be fun in a light bolt action or semi-action carbine. Think 16" barreled 10/22 sized rifle.

Its hated because only the toughest body armor can slow it down.

Everyone thats seen my Ps90 in action has liked it. Half of them bought thier own. Everyone should try/rent one at least once.
Usually after killing a few phonebooks most see its not as wimpy as the jello says.
I'd love to see another co. making five-seven pistols. The FN pistol seemed kinda fragile to me. Time will tell.......
