The modern duty pistol must balance controllability, modularity, and consistent accuracy. For operators and responsible owners who prioritize repeatable performance under stress, the latest platform from a legacy manufacturer delivers a focused package that addresses those needs without excess weight.

SMITH & WESSON M&P 5.7 introduces the Tempo Barrel System and a host of tactical features designed for precision semi-auto applications.

The Tempo Barrel System is a standout: the barrel doesn’t cam open until the bullet passes the gas port, a timing approach that can reduce unlocking stresses and support reliable extraction. Ergonomics are refined with a slim, optimally textured grip that aids control without adding bulk, paired with a flat face trigger for consistent finger placement and more repeatable shots. The package includes two 22-round magazines and a retail price of $665.99.

Design and Key Features

SMITH & WESSON M&P 5.7 is built with a slide cut for optics out of the box, letting users mount micro red dots for fast target acquisition. The ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release accommodate left- and right-handed manipulation. A Picatinny-style equipment rail provides attachment points for lights or lasers for duty or home defense setups.

Barrel and Accuracy

The pistol’s accurate 1 in 9″ twist barrel complements the Tempo Barrel System, delivering stable bullet spin for consistent groups. For shooters focused on precision semi-auto platforms, that twist rate paired with the flat face trigger supports predictable point of impact shot to shot.
