Bottleneck pistol cartridges are nothing new. For decades, half of the world relied on bottleneck pistol rounds like the 762x25mm Mauser and Tokarev cartridges. While the bottleneck cartridge remains the rule rather than the exception for modern-day rifle cartridges, the opposite is true for pistols. However, with innovations over the last few decades by arms and ammo manufacturers like FN Herstal , the high-performing bottleneck pistol cartridge appears to be making a big comeback. FN Five seveN The FN 57mm Cartridge Arguably the most well-known of the bottleneck handgun cartridges is the FN 57x28mm. A proprietary cartridge chambered for the FN Five seveN pistol and P90/PS90.
