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.

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.
