Hornady Critical Defense (90000) 40gr FTX

[Buffman]

I welcome non FN controlled ammo loadings in 5.7x28mm, as velocity potential/load ability seems to get better. The original lot of ammo I purchased did not have a "warning" on the box that it was for handguns only, and I'm assuming that's on there because of the feeding issues the more blunted nose causes in PDW/PCC's that use the PS90 magazine. Velocities are right up there with the Hornady Black Vmax loading. Penetration depths though are less than the Vmax, and if you want the 5.7 for it's ability to go through IIIA, this load isn't going to do it from the pistol or PDW

@buffman, did you ever get your AR57 replaced?
