Thread: Ruger-57. No Longer Just Internet Rumor

  1. #21
    I suspect that they came in a bit high on the price. If street prices were in the fours, I think they'd sell for a while. At high-fives to low-sixes, it may be more of a stretch for its intended customer. I am not the intended customer, so I could be wrong.

    I'm almost always happy to see new guns coming out, so, good for them. Hope they sell.

    I agree about the limited market, mostly due to the ammo being scarce and Ruger not having the cachet of FN. I had one of the original FN IOM models and sold it due to ammo becoming scarce and expensive after Sandy Hook and someone willing to pay an absurd price to take it off my hands. I am not going to be an early adopter of the Ruger-57, but a deal on CDNN would likely see me dinging my credit card.

    I'll get some more formal stuff done ASAP. But I have no problems hitting a B/C zone steel plate at 50 yards.

    $799 MSRP? What is Ruger smoking? $599 with a street price of around 5 will sell a ton.

    Note the testing of the new Speer Gold Dot load. That's pretty cool.

    How is muzzle blast? Threaded barrel availability?

    Now that the gun is officially out I'll have to take it to a local shop and have him make me a kydex holster. I didn't want to do it earlier over concerns he might leak a photo. But my concerns were without merit. This has probably been one of the worst top secret pistol launches in recent memory. Even the Glock 44 announcement was kept under better wraps.

    There are a few accessories up on the Shop Ruger page. No barrels yet although I believe one's coming. Same with the extended floor plate and/or 30rd mag.

    Muzzle blast is fine. Loud but really not bad.

    About the 57, I think you're right about popularity and sales. The LCP will sell far more than the 57.

    5 and under I’ll buy the 57 Yeet cannon. Over 5, pfffffffff... I’ll just buy another FN 57 with the well planned lever safety and park both next to my PS90 for even more glamorous pics to post on Instagram as I larp around my house and await the fire sale at Centerfire Systems for the low price of $399.
