The Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 is an innovative addition to the M&P lineup, designed to deliver high performance and speed. Chambered in 5.7x28mm, this pistol boasts an impressive 22+1 capacity, making it one of the highest-capacity handguns in its class. Central to its design is the groundbreaking Tempo Barrel System—a 5" rotating, gas-operated, locked-breech barrel that doesn't cam open until the bullet passes the gas port. This unique system enhances accuracy and repeatability, allowing shooters to fully harness the ballistic advantages of the 5.7x28mm round. The pistol features a slim, optimally textured grip for comfortable handling, and an ambidextrous slide stop with an optional manual thumb safety. The M&P 5.7 is also optics-ready, with a slide cut that accommodates various sights, and includes a Picatinny-style rail for additional accessories. Its flat-face trigger ensures consistent finger placement, promoting more accurate and repeatable shooting, complemented by a crisp single-action trigger break. Additional features such as forward slide serrations enhance grip during slide manipulation. The pistol comes with two 22-round magazines and offers a reversible magazine release for user convenience. With an accurate 1:9 twist barrel and being made in the USA, the M&P 5.7 combines innovation with reliability for shooters seeking a high-capacity, feature-rich 5.7x28mm pistol.
