SHOT Show Surprise: Smith & Wesson’s New M&P 5.7 Pistol

January 23, 2023 by Tim Stetzer Leave a Comment

Day 1 of SHOT brought a surprise in the form of the new 5.7x28mm M&P from Smith & Wesson. Joining FN, Ruger, and Palmetto State Armory, as well as a handful of 5.7 carbines and PCC’s, Smith is well-positioned to take its own share of the 5.7 market. The M&P 5.7 at an MSRP of $699 is less than half the cost of an FN Five-seveN MRD, and splits the difference between PSA’s Rock at $599 and Ruger’s 5.7 at $899.

The M&P 5.7 has all of the bells and whistles you expect from a modern service pistol like a light rail, optics ready slide and threaded barrel. It uses a new gas operated, rotating Tempo barrel system which is designed to take advantage of the fast 5.7 rounds. Mag capacity is an impressive 22 rounds in the grip. I only saw the gun on the show floor so no rounds down range, but it feels good in the hand and has a good trigger. With the price just above PSA and a good $200 cheaper than Ruger I suspect this is going to be a winner for Smith. Plus, the more 5.7’s out there, the more likely we are to see increased ammo offerings, and hopefully lower ammo prices with more volume.

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (1/17/2023) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce the new full-size M&P®5.7 pistol with a 22-round capacity.

In an effort to enhance the performance of the increasingly popular 5.7x28mm round in a polymer handgun platform, Smith & Wesson set out to deliver a new and innovative design that will offer a more reliable, accurate, and consistent shooting experience. Designed within the M&P5.7 is Smith & Wesson’s new gas-operated, locked-breech, rotating Tempo™ Barrel System. Developed to harness the speed of the round, this new 5-inch barrel allows for a quicker extraction once the bullet passes the gas port, creating a more secured fireform effect. This key feature allows for increased precision following the first trigger pull and works to utilize the ballistic advantages of the 5.7x28mm round.

“The M&P5.7 is an exciting new pistol from Smith & Wesson that incorporates a gas-operated Tempo™ Barrel System to effectively harness the 5.7x28mm round, creating a lighter recoil for an overall better shooting experience. Like all Smith & Wesson firearms, the M&P5.7 is proudly made entirely in the USA and is backed by the Smith & Wesson Limited Lifetime Service Policy. Whatever your purpose, the M&P5.7 is versatile, fun, and a must-have,” says Andrew Gore, Product Manager, Handguns.

The M&P5.7 is slide cut for optics to accommodate your preferred micro red dots, has a Picatinny-style rail for added accessories, and includes a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle with thread protector to allow for suppressed shooting capabilities. Its single-action flat-face trigger maintains a crisp break and is designed to allow for consistent finger placement that translates to more accurate and repeatable shooting. This pistol boasts a 22-round capacity and ships with two magazines.

Pick up the TEMPO™ with accurate and consistent results from the M&P®5.7.

MSRP is $699.00
