CMMG Banshee MK57: The Best Platform For 5.7?

Thinking about getting a CMMG banshee chambered in 5.7? If you already have a 5.7 pistol, it is a no-brainer, you already have the magazines!

Many internet experts think the round is underpowered, but if it is good enough for the Secret Service and NATO. it is probably good enough for us.

In this video,  the good ole boys from Alabama Arsenal take a look at the CMMG Banshee MK57 with the Dead Air Mask on loan from Silencer Shop. This is an amazing little rifle. See why it may be the best platform for the 5.7 round.
