5.7x28

Do you think that manufacterers will soon produce conventional rifles for use by sportsmans.  Since it is a military round, prices should be down.  It seems like it would be a great varmint round.

probably we not going to see rifles for some time, but i would think some other handgun
manufacturer by now would have put out a pistol with this cal. FNH is the only one I know of
that is selling the 5.7x28

The 5.7X28 is an interesting little cartridge. I'd like to see someone (CZ?) chamber it in a suitable rifle. I am not that impressed with the current pistol offered by FN. It is a bit large for most carry applications. I know that they champion it as a law enforcement system, but it seems that reception has been luke warm at best.

Where this cartridge may really shine is in a T/C Contender..... I'd buy a 5.7x28 barrel in a heartbeat. With ballistics simmilar to a .22 Hornet, it may never become widely used. Too little, too late...
