Overview of 5.7x28mm Ammo

The 5.7x28mm cartridge was introduced in 1991 by Belgian company FN Herstal to replace the 9x19mm cartridge. It was designed to offer level IIIA body armor piercing capabilities at 200 meters.

Thanks to its bullet shape, it also reduces the risk of ricocheting, so shooters and law enforcement agencies can have a little more confidence in this compact, accurate, low-recoil round.

  • Mark said:

    Ammo was very accurate out of my ruler carbine

  • Double D said:

    Stick with the brand FN or youโ€™ll be sorry you bought the Federal 5.7. Thatโ€™s coming from a guy who likes federal ammunition, but not their 5.7. Poor performance!

  • Dean said:

    If you need some ammunition for an indoor range, these are the rounds for you.

  • Cole said:

    Nice flat trajectory

  • anthgrge said:

    Great for My Kel-tec 50 round extended pistol. Perfect aim and shot projection, when the bullet hits the target at the range. Has a great propulsion for the 40- grain weight and noise reduction, Very good shotshells.

  • Mikey Belton said:

    Iโ€™m used to military rifles not pistols. I always fire any pistol low/left. Bought a FN 5.7 last month. This ammo doesnโ€™t double feed. Weโ€™ve fired easily 500rds without cleaning the FN and there hasnโ€™t been one issue! More practice! Thankyou for reading!

  • Maxman said:

    Great ammo. High performance. No problems with any aspect. Ammo cycled through gun without any problems whatsoever.

  • DB said:

    Good ammo. Much cheaper than FN. Ran either or in a magazine and could not detect any differences. I encounter a lot of negative comments on this ammo. Mostly they looked to be repeats of the same comments. Some of the claims were downright preposterous, such as slugs falling out of casings. I don't believe any of those claims. I expect they are people trolling for FN, which is almost a buck a round.

  • Denny said:

    Good

  • Benjamin said:

    Just purchased the FiveseveN and took it to the range with this ammo. Didnโ€™t have any issues with the first (and only, unfortunately) 150 rounds I ran through it. The accuracy was nowhere near what Iโ€™ve heard reviewed...which was the reason I purchased the gun. However the gun isnโ€™t broken in yet so this is a premature review on the ammo The American Eagle 5.7 is the cheapest ammo you can get for the gun so in comparison itโ€™s pretty good. However if the accuracy doesnโ€™t improve after 500 rounds Iโ€™m going to trade in the gun

  • PAUL said:

    ILL STAY WITH FEDERAL AMMO NO PROBLEM THANKS

    Good quality, just so dโ€ฆ expensive :)

  • Good said:

    Expensive for putting holes in paper. Preformance, terminal ballistics and reliability are all excellent.

  • Dillon said:

    Came very tightly packaged, outer box only lightly crinkled from shipping, all rounds accounted for and secondary boxes undamaged
