5.7x28mm Ammo For Sale
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.
How Does The 5.7x28mm Compare To Other Calibers?
| Caliber | Recoil | Pros | Cons |

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.

Just purchased the FiveseveN and took it to the range with this ammo. Didn’t have any issues with the first (and only, unfortunately) 150 rounds I ran through it. The accuracy was nowhere near what I’ve heard reviewed...which was the reason I purchased the gun. However the gun isn’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 it’s pretty good. However if the accuracy doesn’t improve after 500 rounds I’m going to trade in the gun

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

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

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

ROGER said:
breaking in my 5.7 x 23 have had some problems with other ammo hanging up or not feeding properly. So far, this ammo has been better. Buying in bulk does not save any money by the time you pay for shipping, cheaper to buy a box of 50 at the range.

Larry said:
I have shot about 250 rounds of this ammo and had only one jam. This occurred when a friend of mine was shooting the weapon, so I don’t have a clear idea as to what caused it.

This round is fairly new, I guess. That’s why they’re a little pricey. I’ve shopped around and this is the lowest price I’ve found. Accuracy is consistently good. I shoot them in my S&W M&P handgun and my S&W FPC carbine rifle.

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.

Longshooter said:
Gang. This is SUBsonic ammo - of *course* it isn't going to feed reliably in a pistol or rifle unless is equipped with a suppressor. Please, read up - it isn't expected to! Without the suppressor, which provides substantially more back pressure to the action when the round is fired, your gun WILL NOT CYCLE. Use **ONLY w/ a suppressor** (what virttually all subsonic ammo is literally is designed for.)

Lyle said:
Generally, I like Fiocchi ammo, however the 62 grain subsonic 5.7 x 28 constantly misfeeds in both my S&W 5.7 x 28 and my Ruger 57. I have no issues with the Fiocchi 40 grain hollow point.

Scott said:
The ammo did not perform well at all! The magazine hold 22 rounds, rack the slide tire round went off would not eject properly had to rack the gun every time to fire next round! Very disappointing after spending hundreds and the ammo doesn’t work properly or preform as expected!

ROADY said:

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