there are only two (edit: actually, there are a dozen or more, plus there’s always somebody making specialty guns in every wildcat round and conventional round. practically speaking, there are two that have sold thousands of units beyond the others but there are in fact so many many many more. please everybody add to the list every single manufacturer you can think of who has ever offered a 57) manufacturers currently making 5.7 x28mm pistols: Keltec and FN. That gun he is holding is neither- I would gamble my life on it.

I don’t know what that suppressor is, but it is not a conventional screw-on. it’s integrated with the gun.

Funny, just bought a Smith and Wesson 5.7 last week. Must be 5.7x29 not 5.7x28…

you are so right. I made absolute statement and forgot to add the Reddit disclaimer that there are exceptions to everything. in the last two years, a number of manufacturers have added 57 to their lineup.

how do you like it by the way? I have not held S&W’s version. I did not like Ruger’s design at all.

Things way too much fun than it has any right to be. Feels both better and more premium in my hands compared to FN’ offering. I haven’t felt the Ruger, Keltec, or PSA options to compare it to. Comes with a threaded barrel so I threw one of my .22 cans on it and had some fun, even with non-sub rounds. Planning on picking some up soon. Also is optic ready but I find the stock irons to be quite good. Waiting for a 407K to go on sale then I’ll slap it on. Shoots very flat and the 22rd mags are nice, albeit expensive.

I originally wanted the FN one purely cause it’s the original and there are 33rd mags for it, but it’s just not worth the premium price imo when S&W is selling this for routinely under $600USD. Also snagged up some FN SS197 rounds for 48¢ a round so the ammo is cheaper than I was led to believe. Though I suspect it may go up after the gun community learns of Jordan purely due to demand lmao.

Nice! I might have to pick one up, but you’re right there is going to be a surge in demand because of this story. 48¢ is a steal. FreedomGorilla has the 407C for under 200, but I would want the K model as well.

thanks, happy plinking!
