New M&P 5.7

[cr107]

Can’t wait to see one of these. Optics and suppressor ready.

well, if they hadn’t ghettoed it up…
trigger safety, accessory mount, front slide serrations, red dot, goofy slide sculpting, threaded barrel. All it lacks is a two-toned finish and ambi safety levers.
Everything I hate on a pistol.
And yes, I have some Fudd characteristics.

And it’s still a Smiffy

They added the features that customers nowadays want in a pistol of this sort. YOU may not, but you’re an Army of One.

Accessory mounts, cocking serrations, RDS-ready, and threaded barrels are the features that the vast majority of customers request. I hear it all day, every day, from customers.

The slide needs to be within a certain weight in order for it to cycle properly. A 5.7” has a long slide for a handgun, and weight will usually need to be removed in order to get it cycling correctly. The 2 most common methods are “sculpting”, and ”cut outs”. No matter which method you use, someone will complain about it. While I have zero interest in this handgun, I prefer sculpting over cut outs. I’d rather not have a bunch of holes in the slide for debris to enter through.

Well, we can agree on the slide cut-outs.
This thing is definitely not my cup of tea, but I hope they sell a shipload of them. Maybe demand will get 5.7 ammo production ramped up and back under $30/box.

I want one. How does the 5.7 suppress? I would guess like a 5.56

 

[cr107]

I’m just happy to see new stuff other than another micro/pocket/mini striker fired 9mm/.380

Shot a P90 suppressed and it’s pretty quiet.

Gas operated is pretty neat. Bet it shoots super soft.
