5.7x28mm defense ammo for the FN57 and PS90 is one of the reasons making these firearms extremely desirable. For any standard pistol caliber, choosing ammo is simple. You buy FMJ for practice and training and JHP for carry and personal defense. When it comes to the 5.7x28mm caliber, the choice is not as simple. There are over 45 different variations of 5.7x28mm defense ammo available online each designed for a different purpose. Unless your an FN fanatic like Buffman or myself, ensuring you choose the best 5.7x28mm defense ammo can be tricky.

What are the factors to consider before purchasing 5.7x28mm defense ammo?

1. Determine what situations or threats you might encounter while carrying your 57 under normal circumstances. My situation and type of threat as a retail FFL dealer will be different than that of a civilian.  As a retail establishment that sells firearms, I am more likely to encounter a threat wearing body armor. A lower grain fast armor penetrating round would give me a higher probability of eliminating the threat and surviving. On contrast, I choose to carry a higher grain slower round for daily CCW.
2. Determine the goal you want the projectile to accomplish. Obviously any type of ammunition fired from a firearm has to potential to injure and ultimately kill. Having any 5.7x28mm defense ammo is better than having nothing at all. On the other hand like the example above, having target ammo for defense purposes might not accomplish your goal. The right 5.7x28mm defense ammo can mean the difference between life and death.
3. Determine the availability and legality of the ammunition before purchase.  After watching 25 Youtube videos of 5.7x28mm defense ammo being shot into ballistics gel, you found the perfect round. You jump on google and search for that SS191 ammunition only to find it’s not available for sale anywhere. Instead, you purchase SS190 but discover it’s illegal to carry because it defined as Armor Piercing by the ATF. It’s recommended to purchase 5.7x28mm defense ammo from a reputable dealer instead of from another individual on Gun Broker.

The RWS High-Performance Violently Fragmenting Combo Pack is what I carry in my firearm. It’s a perfect addition to the FN Five-seveN MKII Shooters Package because of the magazine pouch. I carry the 29 grain while in the store, and the 44 grain when outside of work. I always carry an extra magazine so I can switch ammunition depending on the situation or environment.
