I though about making a 5.7 bolt action 16" carbine possibly with a switch barrel to take 9mm and other pistol barrels.
This round is a great alternative to 22LR for a small, easy to carry and reloadable round specially when market predators jack up prices of 22lr and it is cheaper to shoot popular reloadable cartriges.
It makes a great survival round. Better than the 22lr and much more powerful yet very small size.

The .22 Hornet beat them to the punch years and years ago

The problem is that the 22 hornet is too long and it is a rim so it cannot.be compared.
Also the 221 fireball beats the hornet at everything but still too long for grip sized magazines.
Something like the 44 and 357 automag are about the max oal and already too much for small hands. They also did a 30 carbine.
Thats why the 9x25 dillon is so perfect.

Over the years, all I've ever seen them do, is keep reinventing the wheel.
New! Exciting! Basically to get ppl to spend their money.
If it works for you, and you can't live without it, have at it
I've certainly been guilty of it a time or two.

I think this cartridge would make an interesting AR pistol build.
I Know that CMMG came out with the Banshee in two different models of this caliber , but the price tag is a bit much. I wonder how much cheaper it can be built without sacrificing too much quality.

On the list for one of the first purchases once we get to AZ.
That and starting the paperwork to SBR it and add a suppressor.
The FN Five Seven was always a strange pistol, one with a very limited purpose. As a companion peice to the P90 I suppose it made sense. Sort of.
I have no idea what use the Ruger 57 is though, other than it being cool, which it is. Is Ruger releasing a 5.7mm PCC? That would be interesting.
Let's not forget that the 5.7 has actually been out for some time, realistically gaining no traction (yes both the ps90 and the five seven are pretty costly for pretty much a 22mag)
So this was a very odd choice for Ruger to do, but the price they are bringing this out in is going to be super awesome which should bring ammo cost down (speer is working on a 40g gold dot)
Problem is the 5.7 has gotten this cult like mythos mainly due to MSM and naming the ammo "cop killers" since it can defeat level IIIA body armor, that it's this awesome defense ammo, when in reality its only really good against body armor (its intended role)

At a lower price point or used, I would consider one because of the interesting round.
5.7x28
.22 Winchester Magnum
Note the test barrel length, about 10" for the 5.7 and 24" for the .22 Win Mag. The former has significantly more energy than the latter.
The 5.7x28 is a bit like a modernized .22 Hornet although the Hornet can be hand loaded beyond what the 5.7 can manage.

We already had a 5.7 show up at club shooting steel at pistol range
One club I belong to already has started discussions on what to do, if anything, about the 5.7 pistol round on our ranges. We have several locations that are limited to shooting steel with non magnum pistol calibers in pistols or revolvers only, (PCC not allowed.) Here comes the 5.7 at 2500 FPS. It ain’t your daddy’s 9mm or grand dads .45. The impact on steel sounds like a rifle. Last week we already had a member shooting steel with one and and one of club officers heard it an investigated. Pistol owner agreed to help evaluate if there is any safety issue or damage to steel with this cartridge at short range steel. ( think dueling trees). Club officer got to shoot it and thought it was cool.

The 5.7 doesn't do 2500fps out of a pistol, more like 2,000. Still, that kind of velocity is going to do more damage to steel at the typical pistol distances and there has to be a greater risk for backsplash and ricochets. The 5.7x28 is more similar to a rifle round in the way it behaves.
