And while CMMG does have a 5.7 PCC that uses FN 5.7 pistol magazines, they went a different route in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"2020 is the Year of 5.7!

Rather than shrinking dimensions and using a pistol sized magazine, CMMG engineered a larger magazine roughly the same dimensions as a standard capacity 30-round AR magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/ruger-57-shot-show-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"5-7-cmmg-banshee-shot-show-2020\" title=\"2020 is the Year of 5.7!

On the one hand, if you choose to buy a 5.7 upper receiver, it is just a matter of dropping it onto a lower receiver you already own.  No proprietary mag well or magazine block needed.  And more importantly, in my opinion, you have a rifle sized magazine.  This lets you get good reps of training carbine skills while using a pistol caliber.  It also increases the capacity to 40 rounds in a magazine&#8230; which is awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"2020 is the Year of 5.7!

Think about it from the perspective of someone new to it.  Now whether introducing new shooters, young or old, you have a fun rifle that mirrors your standard 5.56 AR with less recoil.  As a grizzled veteran, you may not care, but personally, when introducing my kids to shooting, this is a big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"2020 is the Year of 5.7!
