Interesting rotary lock barrel system. I guess we will see how it addresses reliability.

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
You’d better like the grip because I don’t see any back straps and it looks uncomfortable as hell.
I know 5.7 is considered a joke in a lot of places but I wonder if ammo manufacturers can or will invest time to make this a more practical round. Could a proper load development make 5.7 relevant for CCW or HD?
We hear this all the time and looking at it ballistically it seems to make sense. I don't have experience with it, so I can't give a worthy opinion.
What I do know though, is that 11 of 11 people died that were shot center mass (1 in stomach)at Ft. Hood. 3 of the 11 tried rushing the shooter and were stopped with the center mass shot.
A joke...maybe...but none of those 11 would find it funny.
Development would be interesting for sure.

As the owner of an FN FiveSeven, I personally think options are great.
Although late to the party, it is good to see S&W making this move.
There's quite a few choices these days. How much improved for SD/HD I don't know, but various designs exist now. Some of the non formal testing I have seen on YT seems like some designs may be viable for SD/HD. I don't see any reasons to adopt it for that use over what exists already.

I can't believe this round is still in existence. I mean... it's not the worst round in the world. But without wider acceptance, it's just never going to be economically viable.... except for guys who like it so much that they don't care about the price of shooting it.

I think a heavy 77 gr or so load would be decent, but all the extra cost and complexity for what over 9mm?
