Ruger-57 5.7x28 pistol?

[Nakanokalronin]

Found this posted on another forum. It looks like a larger Security 9 in 5.7x28, although there are many differences here and there. Anyone know if it's legit?

I'm surprised nobody is replying about this. BTW, it's confirmed: https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tdLK2pOsp/?igshid=wty1huepx4fz

I would be interested in one.
Have shot the FN and it is a good shooting gun and is very accurate.
The only reason I don't have one is because of the price.
As far as the cartridge goes , it is accurate and fast without much drop.

Neat pistol, but pricey according to MSRP (I know it will sell for less, but still much higher than other Ruger automatics) and the ammo costs twice what 9mm costs.

It's legit. I just got a flyer from a distributor. It's half the price of an FN Five-seven and looks to have better ergonomics and will take a red dot sight with no mods.

Just got an email about it from Ruger, holds 20+1 but I know zero about this cartridge...anyone have any experience with it, looks like 40grains at 2000 FPS.

It was a proprietary cartridge designed my FN for use in the P90 SMG. It was intended to replace pistol caliber SMG's and pistols for support personnel. In a PS90 SBR it's a 200 yard cartridge. Later it was used in the FN Five-seven pistol, which also holds 20 rounds. I have extensive experience with the cartridge in both platforms. I prefer the SS198/SS195 load over the heavier 40 grain SS197.

According to my distributor I will have 1 here on Friday.

Too soon to tell. There are 5 currently on GB but no closed auctions, yet.

It's listed on a few websites at $600-$650. All out of stock of course, but they supposedly had a few before they sold out. I'll wait until the hype dies down and get one at a normal price.

I saw one at a local gun shop yesterday that was not for sale. It is almost the same size and weight of the FN. The trigger had a little creep but broke clean. The grip was just a bit slimmer than the FN. They said the price was going to be right around $650.

And some......

Davidson's msrp is $799. My dealer said he would be selling them for $659 when he gets them.
The nut that killed all those soldiers at Ft. Hood several years ago was using an FN57. Very deadly round and extremely accurate. I had an AR57, which shot the 5,7x28 cartridge. The magazine actually laid horizontal on top of the rifle and held 50 RDS. Extremely accurate but at $30 a box for ammo, I sold it and got something cheaper. The FN57 has almost no recoil and I'm sure the ruger will be the same. Perfect home defense gun with 20 rd mag

I'm thinking that is the round the secret service agents that actually guard the White House have in their sub machine guns....
(this is not a joke.... was a small round that fed from the top if I recall. )

Here you go,

Just got an email from Smokey Mtn. they are out of stock right now but I got on the list $629.00

You are correct. The P90 uses a 50 rd. Mag on top and rejects down. Very little recoil.

 

[TRanger]

Not my usual cup of tea; but I’ll be getting one of these. Have wanted an FN for while, but balked at the price. Here we have an affordable equivalent. Perhaps it will prompt additional ammunition options from other than FN and Federal.

I'm not saying this pistol won't be successful, but have you ever seen a smaller forum thread for a completely new firearm from Ruger?

And on 1 of the FN forums the thread is currently 8 pages. Go figure.

It is strange. The threads on most forums talking about this pistol are much larger.

This could actually be my first semi-auto handgun.

Received this ad today from Bud's...

I have one of these in hand. Better ergonomics than the FN, drilled and tapped for a red dot sight mount, FAR better safety arrangement and 1/2 the price. Ruger has a winner, IMHO.

Is there enough barrel to be threaded?

I watched the promo video last night. Very little recoil and it didn't seem like the slide was all that difficult to manipulate which is surprising since it's described as "blow back" operation. I'm hoping this idea works and that Ruger develops a 5.7 version of the PCC
I won't be buying one for a while since I prefer to see how new stuff works before owning. As far as performance goes, this cartridge is sort of a centerfire 22WMR.
