Description
Let me tell you about the Tisas PX-5.7 FO Raptor 5.7×28 4.8 in 20+1 Black I’ve had on the counter here. This is a high-capacity semi-auto pistol that brings the 5.7x28mm round to a very reasonable price point. It comes with two 20-round magazines, a threaded barrel, and fiber optic sights right out of the box.

Who It’s For
This pistol suits new gun owners looking for an affordable entry into 5.7x28mm shooting, as well as experienced shooters wanting a high-capacity range toy or home defense option. The light recoil and flat-shooting round make it a good choice for smaller-framed shooters or anyone who wants to practice without developing a flinch.

FAQ
Does the Tisas PX-5.7 FO Raptor come with a threaded barrel?
Yes, the 4.8-inch barrel is threaded (1/2×28 thread pitch) and comes with a thread protector installed. You can attach a suppressor or compensator right away.
What magazines does it use?
It ships with two 20-round steel magazines. They are proprietary to the Tisas PX-5.7 platform, but extra mags are available through Tisas and some third-party retailers.
Is the Tisas PX-5.7 reliable for self-defense?
From what I’ve seen and heard from customers, it runs well with quality 5.7x28mm ammunition. The round itself is proven for defense, though always test your specific carry ammo for reliability.
Can I mount a red dot on this pistol?
The slide is not optics-ready from the factory, but you can have it milled by a gunsmith for a red dot. The fiber optic front and adjustable rear sights work fine for iron-sight shooting.
