    Lol in 5.7

    For the uninformed the original was 4.6mm. FN won that argument it seems

      Probably went with 5.7 for availability. I’ve actually never seen 4.6 in 15 years of browsing gun shops. I believe the ballistic performance is similar between the two.

      Probably for ammo accessibility. I’ve never seen 4.6mm in a store but 5.7mm while niche is not unheard of.

      Interchangeability with the 5.7mm magazines PSA already makes isn’t a bad thing if they are trying to get sales.
