The 5.7 will flat out tear sh*t up! I've seen monster boars shot and dropped DRT on the spot with them. I've never seen a 22, even a 22 Mag, come close to the destruction a 5.7 does. It's a very accurate pistol, and we have shot it at 100 yards. It's very fast and I would not hesitate taking any game with it. I don't recall which bullet was used, but I think it was 40 grain. Also, it will not knock over a steel metal plate for competition.

This is rather an unusual post about the 5.7. you don't see them often. Someone posting who actually knows what they are talking about. The pistol and carbine work. To date I must have shot 40 or 50 pigs with my 5.7. the only gun I have with a better recovery rate is a 308 FNAR

Again, the 5.7 is a very large pistol. It holds 20 Rounds of ammo.

I have shoot 3 hogs with the 40 grain American Eagle round out of the 5.7. I did not think the results were great. All the hogs died but required tracking and follow up. The 5.7 is also an extremely loud gun.

I have killed hogs with my 17 HMR also, but that does not make it a hog gun.

I personally think the 5.7 is awkward to carry because of its size, loud and, is not a good choice for an all around lease gun.

It is a fun range gun and I do not plan on getting rid of mine but, it is not my 1st, 2nd or, 5th choice to take to the lease.

I hunt pigs with my 5.7 exactly like archers hunt them. I wait for the pig to give me a heart shot. I usually have a short trail, maybe 10 to 20 yds. If necessary I can put my dog down to find a longer trail. If I do my job that is never necessary.

I hunt over corn feeder. My average shot is 12 yards. I use the 27 gr no lead free bullet.



I would really appreciate more information on you two guys' experience hunting with the 5.7. Pistol or carbine? What kinds of ammo? Etc. P.M.'s or just more posts in this thread would be great!

Guys, how bad is the muzzle flash I've heard about?

The American Eagle is the only ammo that I could find in the last year. The FNH ammo is just not out there.

Like I said I like the guns, heck my boy has shot several thousand rounds through the PS90 and at least that many rounds have gone down range from the pistol.

I have only shot 200 rounds of the FNH ammo. All of those rounds on paper. The pistol prefers the FNH ammo. Will flat shoot these into tiny little groups out to 50 yards. It shoots the AE ammo but it tends to shoot it low right. We adjusted the sights and now it is set up for it but the groups are not near the same.

The PS90 has never shoot the FNH loads, but seems to do fine with the AE ammo. Groups are small out 100 yards. Have not shoot it past 100 yards.

So my knowledge is based on killing stuff with the AE bullet. All hogs were shot at less than 20 yards, all shots were head shots. There was tracking involved in recovering each of the pigs. No DRT. They all were recovered within 100 yards but it was not an easy 100 yards. Two times the bullet passed through the brain but the hole on either side was tiny. There seemed to be no hydro shock. The 3rd was back to far but angled back into the neck. The bullet tumbled but not near enough to put the hog down. In all case the hogs were shot again with a 10mm.

All hogs were shot by my 12 year old son.

Chad have you stacked it against the 22TCM round? I've got one of those from RIA and a PMR-30 in 22WMR. There is a world of difference between 22TCM and 22WMR. I'd love to see an honest side by side comparison of 5.7 vs 22TCM myself.
