As a what if, would anyone be interested in Kahr MK9 size pistol from FNH or others in 5.7X28mm?
I would get one in a heartbeat.
I don't want a poll but I am curious how many of you think about this for a smaller carry pistol. The argument against it is:
1. Lower magazine capacity
2. Lower velocity due to barrel length
3. Grip may be hard for those with small hands
For me none of these are an issue. A Five-SeveN is a bit large for concealed carry.

It's a full-size, forsure.
I prefer to carry a 9mm, but I've never used a compact 5.7x28mm, so I can't project/comment. After using one for a while, I might very well like to have one for carry.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

I don't really think the 5.7 would lend itself to a 3" barrel. It could inflict more damage as a flame thrower, verses impact energy from the bullet.

The muzzle blast would be excessive, sort of like firing off a 7.62x25mm from something the size of a Shield or Glock 43. Beyond that, you'd lose too much muzzle velocity and it might become ballistically what the detractors call it; a souped up .22.

It would be a hoot to shoot though.
I don't see this happening though.
