While you're probably right about the cases not needing the coating I doubt that any manufacturer is going to make ammo that will only be reliable in one gun.
    It's one of the stumbling blocks of reloading 5.7 cases. Once the lacquer wears off, it's difficult to replicate. That can lead to feeding issues in some guns. If the M&P can operate without it, then that opens more options for reloaders.

    You're right, 5.7 doesn't have much in the way of recoil, but I certainly wouldn't complain if had even less.

    Case life with direct blowback guns tends to be only 2 or 3 reloads anyway.

    That gap between the slide and frame at the front looks awful.
