5.7 Cartridge in a Revolver? | Gun Talk Radio
This discussion explores the feasibility and potential drawbacks of chambering the 5.7x28mm cartridge in a revolver, specifically an LCR. While the 5.7x28mm offers higher velocity than .327 Federal Magnum, its high chamber pressures (around 50,000 psi) and the potential for significant unburned powder and large fireballs from short barrels are primary concerns. The conversation also touches on .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle as lower-recoil alternatives for sensitive shooters.
