Thread: Ruger-57. No Longer Just Internet Rumor

    Ruger-57. No Longer Just Internet Rumor

    https://ruger.com/micros/57/

    I have had this gun about a month but was sworn to secrecy by my friends at Ruger.

    I haven't put a ton of rounds through the gun. Frankly I haven't been able to find much ammo locally. I've only been able to find a box of the AE stuff. But I have been able to handload some for it. Not disclosing my load data but I'm using Lyman and Accurate data with a 40gr bullet.

    The gun shoots flat. Really no recoil to speak of. The trigger is good and measures around six pounds. Ergos are good too. Overall it should be a fun and useful pistol.

    Down sides? It doesn't feel "duty worthy." It is based off the LCP and Security 9 and feels somewhat budget conscious. There isn't really anything outright wrong with the gun but I don't think it'll cut into FN's sales much. More of a hobby gun rather than a military piece.

    I'd like to see a slight bevel to the mag well. It would also be nice to have more of a milled-in base for a red dot. One will be available but it is a bolt-on deal that sits above the slide.

    What are your questions?

    Lots of good info here:

    I am excited about this one and will be curious to see what FN does in response.

    What is your overall impression of the gun? Do you have a FN to compare it with?

    Very jealous.

    I have not messed with a Five seveN in probably a decade so I can only go off memory. The Ruger grip is smaller and shorter due to the smaller overall magazine. Controls are easy to work--specifically the safety. 1911 style not the oddball FN safety.

    Size of the gun is fairly large. And of course the grip is long and skinny based on what it is chambered for.

    Mags are relatively small.

    A red dot plate can be attached here. Ruger will have a couple different mounts available.

    Sights appear to be Novak cut although I believe a standard Novak rear would overhang.

    The gun is blowback but with a toggle affair that cams down in recoil. Barrel and slide travel backwards together a short distance. There is no cam and/or locking block on the barrel.

    Is it similar to the security 9 in size?

    What kind of accuracy are you seeing?

    Are there sight options?

    Don't suppose it is cut for a red dot?
