Is this Tisas PX 5.7 The Best Budget 5.7mm Pistol?
While the 5.7x28mm round may not dethrone the popular 9mm anytime soon, it offers unique benefits like high magazine capacity, effective armor penetration with the right loads, and lighter recoil, but it is becoming more and more popular. In this video, we put the Turkish Tisas PX-5.7 to the ultimate test at the Neutral Ground Gun Company range in New Orleans, alongside Kaya from Classic Firearms. With live fire testing and even challenging it against body armor, we explore whether this budget-friendly 5.7mm pistol truly stands out in a competitive market.
Priced at an impressive $399 street value (with an optics-ready model just $40 more), the Tisas PX-5.7 might just be the most sensible choice for those looking to dive into the 5.7x28mm world without breaking the bank. With a QPQ-treated slide, cold hammer-forged barrel, and a slim, lightweight design, it offers features usually reserved for higher-priced models. However, the PX-5.7 isn't without its quirks
Join us as we dig into the details, test its durability, and see if the Tisas PX-5.7 is the right fit for you. A special thanks to Kaya and Ryan of Classic Firearms for bringing this test copy down to New Orleans, and thank you all for watching!

Asking what’s the best budget 5.7x28mm pistol is like asking what the best STD is.
I dunno, man-- everything PSA makes is steamin' hot garbage, but if Jimmy Shortpants, Attorney At Law can put a thousand rounds through a janky PSA dollar store 5.7 without a malfunction, I think it might just be possible to make a decent gun in this caliber on the cheap.
...And okay, if not a proper moon caliber it's at least in lunar orbit, so I guess if the cartridge itself is the hangup you're never gonna climb on board the hype spacetrain, but you've at least gotta admit that was some pretty darn impressive cold-out-the-box accuracy with iron sights.
