There are more manufactures making 5.7 firearms than I thought. A non-exhaustive list, just scraping Buds:

• FN
• Kel Tec
• Ruger
• PSA
• S&W
• CMMG
• Diamondback
• Masterpiece Arms
• Excel Arms

I really like the way that this particular Excel model looks. It has the Automag vibe going on.

This looks great. Now if they would only make one with a 5 inch barrel like the others do... This is no edc .

No one is making compact versions of this. The PSA bbl is 4.7", the FiveseveN is 4.8", the Ruger is 4.9" and the S&W is exactly 5".

Pretty much everything else is that or longer. The Excel Arms MP-5.7 (pictured above) has a bbl of 8.5". The Diamondback Tactical Pistol DBX57CFB bbl is 8.5". The CMMG Pistol AR's in 5.7 are 5" exact, as is the Masterpiece Arms. The P50 is 9.5"

I think the only handgun in 5.7 which is seriously below the 5" mark is Excel Arms' weird X-series, originally chambered in 9mm, which bears a superficial resemblance to the TEC-9. It has a 4" bbl.

So if you're desire is for about a 5" bbl or better, then buy pretty much anything and you'll get what you want.

I wasn't looking for "compact" here. Only how it would be great if Excel made a shorter barrel version. Roughly 5 in...I know the FN,Ruger,PSA do not use exactly 5 inch . Any sub 4 in tube imho creates more issues than it solves.
