For shooters who demand compact ammunition that extends effective range and improves terminal performance from small arms, the 5.7x28mm cartridge stands apart. Its bottleneck design delivers flatter trajectories and reduced recoil compared with many traditional pistol calibers, making it a logical choice for both duty use and precision-oriented training.

FN High Performance 5.7x28mm 27 gr JHP (LEAD FREE) 50 Per Box is built on a legacy that began in the late 1980s with the FN P90 and FN Five-seveN pistol.

Perfected for operability with FN firearms, it offers dependable feed and eject reliability, consistent velocity and repeatable performance shot after shot. Priced at $52.99 per box, this is a premium option for operators and enthusiasts wanting FN-grade ammunition. Shop this product

Performance and Ballistics

The 27 grain jacketed hollow point projectile paired with the 5.7x28mm bottleneck case produces high velocity with controlled recoil. For marksmanship drills and tactical scenarios that require rapid follow-up shots and precise shot placement, the cartridge’s flat trajectory reduces holdover at typical engagement distances. FN’s manufacturing focus on consistent velocity and repeatability makes ammunition selection predictable for sighting and zero retention.

Reliability and Platform Compatibility

Designed alongside FN platforms, this load is optimized for feed and ejection cycles in the P90 and Five-seveN, but it also performs well in other compatible systems chambered for 5.7x28mm. The combination of case geometry and projectile design contributes to reliable chambering and extraction—critical under duty or training stress. For buyers prioritizing dependable operation, the FN name is a distinguishing factor.

Field Applications

Use cases include personal defense, law enforcement duty, and precision-oriented range work where small arms need extended reach without sacrificing controllability. The lead-free JHP construction also addresses facility and environmental considerations where non-lead training ammunition is preferred. View product details and pricing
