FN DFNS 5.7x28mm 30-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition (brand part no. 10700029) is FN’s dedicated personal-defense loading for the hyper-velocity cartridge the company originally developed in the late 1980s for the FN P90 and FN Five-seveN pistol. FN America built the 5.7x28mm bottleneck cartridge around drastically improved range accuracy and terminal performance compared to traditional pistol calibers, and NATO standardized it in 2020 after three decades of trusted use. This DFNS load pairs a 30-grain JHP bullet with that hyper-velocity platform, giving 5.7x28mm pistol owners a purpose-built defensive option rather than a repurposed practice round. This is ammunition for FN Five-seveN and P90 owners who want a genuine defensive load in this cartridge.
