Looks like the rumors are true. S&W just dropped an M&P in 5.7x28mm. Can't find much info out there, but here's a review by Honest Outlaw.

I watched that video this morning. Really cool gun.. I*m not looking for another expensive caliber to stock up on,though.

Meh. The ammo costs 2 x what 9mm does. Maybe if/when PSA starts pumping out cheaper ammo to feed it. I'm a fan of M&Ps, but other than coming out with something new just because of Shot Shot, dunno.

The only advantage I see is that it won't be as hard on spent cases as other 5.7's. Though I don't know how much of a selling point that will be given the number of people who actually reload for it.

The new barrel design makes it a gas operated, locked breech system. Means lower recoil, better reliability, and will probably function without the need for the cases to be coated. That's significant when compared to the direct blowback design of the Ruger, FN, and PSA offerings.

Maybe that's why it has that giant gap...

Word is it's a pre-production T&E gun that's been passed around. Folks who have managed to score one say the gap on their guns is much less pronounced.
