Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 5in Threaded FDE/Black Bundle

About this product

What is the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 5in Threaded FDE/Black Bundle? It's a full-size, optics-ready pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm with a 5-inch threaded barrel and Flat Dark Earth polymer frame, packaged with a Savior Specialist range bag and multiple 22-round magazines. The M&P 5.7 uses Smith & Wesson's TEMPO locked-breech barrel system for reliable cycling and features ambidextrous controls with a flat-face trigger. This bundle delivers immediate suppressor and red-dot readiness out of the box, making it a turnkey solution for shooters who prioritize high-capacity, low-recoil performance.

What is the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 used for?

The M&P 5.7 is designed for range training, home defense, and suppressor-ready applications where low recoil and high magazine capacity are critical. Its 22-round magazines and 5.7x28mm cartridge provide flatter shooting than 9mm, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices, while the optics-ready slide accommodates popular red dot footprints without adapter plates.

How does the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 compare to the FN Five-seveN?

The M&P 5.7 outperforms the FN Five-seveN in ergonomics and value, with a more modern grip angle and $300 lower MSRP. Where the Five-seveN uses a delayed blowback system, the M&P 5.7's TEMPO locked-breech design reduces felt recoil by 15% and improves reliability with hotter ammunition. Both share the same 1/2x28 thread pattern and 22-round capacity, but the M&P includes an optics-ready slide while the FN requires milling.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded weight is 26.7 ounces with overall dimensions of 8.5 inches long, 5.8 inches tall, and 1.3 inches wide. The 5-inch barrel features a 1:9 twist rate optimized for stabilizing 5.7x28mm projectiles up to 40 grains. Compared to our Stevens 334 .308 rifle, the M&P 5.7 is 2.3 pounds lighter and 11.5 inches shorter, making it far more suitable for vehicle or bedside storage.

Who is this NOT for?

This pistol is not ideal for concealed carry due to its 8.5-inch length and 1.3-inch width, which print noticeably under clothing. Shooters preferring traditional calibers should consider 9mm alternatives, as 5.7x28mm ammunition costs $0.40-$0.60 per round versus $0.25 for 9mm. Those needing a compact shotgun for home defense might prefer our Stevens 555 Sporting Compact 20ga with its 26-inch barrels.

What's in the box?

The bundle includes the M&P 5.7 pistol, two 22-round magazines, a Savior Specialist double-rifle bag with pistol pockets, cable lock, and owner's manual. The Savior bag measures 36 inches long with 5 separate compartments, providing storage for the pistol, 100 rounds of ammunition, and hearing protection. Unlike many factory bundles, this includes everything needed for range day except ammunition and eyes/ears.

Is the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 worth it at $679.99?

At $679.99, this bundle delivers $250 in added value compared to buying the pistol and accessories separately. The Savior bag alone retails for $89, while additional 22-round magazines cost $45 each. Given that the base M&P 5.7 MSRP is $699, this package represents a 15% savings while including essential range gear. For shooters wanting a suppressor-host ready platform without aftermarket purchases, this is one of the best values in the 5.7x28mm market.
