It amazes me how a company like Ruger can have the extensive product line they do, and still come out with homeruns like this. They find a void in the market and fill it. Ruger is a great firearm maker.
I m reading a book about Bill Ruger.. and has made me even more of a Ruger fan.. engineering genius, stickler for quality, innovative, an American firearm legend
I actually think this wouldnt be a bad pistol to carry while out and about on my ranch. We dont have hogs or large predators, I think the 5.7 round is plenty for coyotes and armadillos(they tear up our garden) and it would be a fun pistol for impromptu plinking sessions.
I'm sure this will help lower the price of the 5.7 X 28 mm ammo! Thank You Ruger! For those complaining about the price, it's $500 less than I paid for my FN. You should be rejoicing it's a hot little round!
I havnt seen ammo at price he talked about. I bought the federal stuff for my ps90 and that was still 27.50 for 50 (with my discount) but it was worth it. My fav round to shoot. If in general the price comes down and more companies start making 5.7 then this thing is going to take off
I could get a FN 5.7 pistol for just about $850 a few days before New year's day.. I'll think about the Ruger one.... It needs threaded barrel !!!! I'm betting on Ruger having a rifle or 2 out for 5.7 soon. I thought about getting the FN 5.7 for now I'm glad I didn't.
@@mattcrowell7945 I have always been a fan of the pistol rounds that can also be used in rifles like the .357 and .44. I always wondered why they did not have a 10mm option here since a 10mm is great as an anti personnel round and a med game hunting round. A 5.7 pistol / rifle would be a very nice combination also.
I saw the name and though "aw dang, i was hoping this was going to be a 5.7, but this is probably just an anniversary pistol or something, or the number of moving parts" boy was i pleasently surprized
Thanks Ruger. I fell in love with the 5.7 in the fn five seven model many years ago. I owned one in in 04 I believe and sold it in 06 when discharging from the military. I have wanted one ever since. I finally just picked up another about 2 weeks ago. I remember absolutely loving the way this thing shot. Glad to see this round becoming significant. You won't be disappointed when seeing it's TRUE capabilities.
Man, with such a small round, with such light recoil, they need to develop a subcompact with 13 to 16 round capacity once the defensive rounds are common. That’d sell real well.
Chris Canzanese Ah, that’s no good then. I wonder what the practical minimum barrel length would be for it. That explains why someone else hasn’t put one on the market already.
@@chriscanzanese5063 well... wide from front to back, but yea i get what you mean. The circumference of the grip is no different than any other pistol really.
Just when I think I'm done buying guns because I've got enough then they come out with something else so it looks like I'll never stop buying guns I think Ruger nailed it again. I'm a big Ruger fan and a Glock fan.
There's basically no market for a 5.7 semi-auto rifle/PCC. From a varmint perspective 22 mag does a better job at significantly less cost, 5.56 is nearly impossible to beat for other applications. 5.7x28 only has real advantages in a handgun platform compared to other calibers on the market.
@@otm646 I mean, you could say the same for 9mm, but look at how many PCC's we have out there. If Ruger makes a PC57 or even a 10/57 Charger with a brace, I think that they could do pretty well.
That looks fantastic. Once the "newness" wears off, sales become available, and quality/durability is proven, I'm in... Hope it is available in a rifle option as well...Ruger, CZ, Henry...
Picked one up today. Took it to the range... So happy with it. I highly recommend it. My 2 buddies that went shooting with me same day plan to buy one now 😎
Glad to hear it. Did you buy the 20 mag model? Can you say how feeding, ejection and magazine loading has been? I’ve seen some troubling reviews of the 20 load mags at Ruger Shop. I sure want one of these too, but not if there really are mag issues.
I like the round, despite the cost being still well above 9mm, and I like that Speer is developing a defensive round, as I carry Gold Dot short barrel .22 WMR in my PMR-30 and runs great.
Excellent video Sir!! I've always been a RUGER fan, owning many different models and calibers currently in my arsenal. This particular caliber had always seemed a bit exotic to me and not something I would have carried for personal defense; but, this video has changed my mind, given the new ammo options AND a new Ruger to carry?? YES SIR! Again, Thank You!
This is what I train with when my dad and I shoot. I have an FN 5.7 in the lockbox on my nightstand. Because of what you said- barely any recoil. I added a Sure Fire light and a Crimson Trace grip laser.
I’m not brand loyal to any company with any product being a specs and features guy but I do own several rugers based on this criteria and the ruger 57 will hopefully make it’s way into my safe or as my main carry .
@@22plinkster You have just dumped the proverbial salt in the wound. Where do we sign up for said sponsorship? Just kidding you deserve it and have worked your tail off to get it. Love your videos
The 5.7 was made for anti-personnel. Fast enough to punch soft armor, small enough to dump energy. If I recall correctly there was a fort shooting where a guy used the 5.7 and had high lethality, despite hitting things like arms and legs. The fragmentation caused too much bleeding.
No. The Glock 44 was designed to give Glock owners the opportunity to practice/train using ammo that cost less than 10 cents per round. They will sell a ton of them.
That’d be a Great Ranch pistol. I just hope the Gold Dot round isn’t too expensive. If Ruger makes it in a PCC with the same magazines they’ll have hit a Home Run.
I'm a novice, and I appreciate the information. Seems reasonable for the money but I'm listening to what you're saying about the power of the round. Thank you
For those wondering about the energy or stopping power of the 5.7, Paul Harrell offers a fairly comprehensive video comparing it with the .22TCM & 7.62 x 25.
@@JWILSON1971 prices have came way down on 5.7 seen it for under 20 bucks for a 50 rd box lately .used to be like a buck a round .that's like 30 40 krag prices
I just picked one these up, and the range would only sell 1 box of ammo @ $80. I almost told the dude to put it back in the case, but I've wanted a 5.7 for a while. I did find another of my other ammo spots selling it for $55. I won't be shooting this gun every trip to the range, and actually it feels a lot like my Kel Tec PMR 30 with little to no recoil at all. Pretty accurate right out of the box for my first shoot. I'll tighten my group when I get a lot more ammo. Cool gun all n all.
Ken Wheeler he probably isn’t allowed to. They are factory prototypes and as such not likely up to par and possibly simply the shape and weight but not the correct composition. Until the mass, shape and metallurgy is correct I don’t think they will allow them to be filmed. (I’m guessing they will be way better but still substandard as far as 9mm compares.) I’m still interested in both the gun and caliber and also the newer ammunition available.
Love watching these as a Aussie pistol owner. Alot of what you guys have, we drool over. Yep, we should've done "things" alot better years ago, but, here's hoping for a brighter future. I'm also running a gun range. Lots of young people showing interest. Here's hoping!
Just got the email announcement about this. I won't be running out to buy one but really nice to see Ruger making cool new stuff. With the .22lr LCP2 yesterday and this today I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
I've been saying for years that glock should come out with their version of a five-seven!! I always thought that it would be an awesome idea that would be a highly sought after firearm. Ruger really was thinking outside the box and most people are going to go this route to get into the 5.7 game due to price vs. the FN version. I've always wanted an FN five-seven but couldn't bring myself to spend $1100-$1400 bucks on a pistol in this caliber knowing I could hey a hell of a rifle for the same price. But I'd certainly love to hey this ruger 57...Great video!!
My thoughts are going to be that this thing is going to be hard as hell to find for the first little bit kinda like what happened with the PMR30 everyone is going to want one. On the plus side if this thing takes off like a expect it to, more company's might make ammo for it.
Looks like an interesting firearm, and it’s nice to see another company tackle this incredible caliber! It would be hard-pressed that this gun would even come close to matching the FN versions quality and longevity, but we will see! Usually there’s a reason why guns are more expensive than other guns in the same caliber! But I can definitely see this ruger version appealing to a new crowd of gun enthusiasts!
What exactly has Glock "got in on" in since their inception? Basically everything they made looks identical to the previous model, a few different caliber offerings. It takes them years to come out with a single stack model despite the masses screaming for it. Yeah, Glock is always ahead of the game. Lol
All their attention goes to dead calibers like 45 gap and 357 sig and rereleasing the g19 every 3 years like its something new. Doesn't leave them any room to try something that might take off.
picked one up by sheer luck about a month ago. Ammo right now is hard to come by. However, it is the most fun gun I've had in a long time. Excellent woods walk-about gun....
Glock numbers their firearms based on their own patent number, not a marketing name or basis. i.e. Glock model 17 was Glock's 17th patent that they sought from the US patent office.
Nice pistol This was a smart move on Ruger’s behalf, I would love to see them come out with a bolt action rifle in this chambering using the same mags.
4 года назад
Mervyn McDougall That would be awesome!!! Ruger Firearms, Prescott AZ Send them an email, I’ll bet they respond.
Johnny Johnson well with the cost of the ammo it’s better to have a platform to run through the paces of accuracy out to say 200 yards with this particular cartridge, as compared to plinking 75 to 100 yards and burning through ammo because of it being semi automatic and less accurate.
The meat target is (say it with me kids) - 2 layers of denim, followed by pork ribs, our watermelon lung tissue, another layer of pork ribs, 2 more layers of demin followed by our high-tech fleece backstop :P
Knowing Ruger, they'll make a subcompact version next year. That's what I'd love to see! I love my P90 and Five-seveN pistol. Speer releasing carry ammo in 5.7 is super exciting as well!
@@TeensierPython I've shot friends of mine that owned them. They were nice but I just never pulled the trigger no pun intended to get one. Now the way things are goin in the market that may change. You can get alot of gun for less money and still get a quality piece. I didn't think of buying a Canik elite until I played around with it. Very nice gun not just for the money but just a nice gun period.
Super stoked for this and can't wait to get my hands on one out at the range day, SHOT Show 2020. I'm a huge fan of the round, and think this will help bring prices down.
The police should really consider picking this gun up for some departments, they would have more effective range and it would be great because of the accuracy when rapid firing.
@timmybmn yeah I hear you! I bet it will be a hot seller though. I probably will not take the plunge unless a carbine option is available! Happy New Year👍🇺🇸
@@Ticklethealgorithm Well I have never had many if any failures to fire out of 22 mag! That being said I tend to agree with your statement. Yeah the banshee is a little over $1000 but they look to be a great option. Have a Happy New Year👍🇺🇸
Fun fact: during the ammo drought after Obummer's first election this was the only ammo I found in the area. Was able to get a couple of 500 round cases mail order when nothing else was available.

There is already a PCC in 5.7: The PS90.
Man, with such a small round, with such light recoil, they need to develop a subcompact with 13 to 16 round capacity once the defensive rounds are common. That’d sell real well.
Need a longer barrel to get the velocity and accuracy out of it. The round is pretty long for a handgun round too so it wakes the grip pretty wide.
Chris Canzanese Ah, that’s no good then. I wonder what the practical minimum barrel length would be for it. That explains why someone else hasn’t put one on the market already.

picked one up by sheer luck about a month ago. Ammo right now is hard to come by. However, it is the most fun gun I've had in a long time. Excellent woods walk-about gun....
Looks like Glock missed out on putting out a long slide version calling it 57
Glock numbers their firearms based on their own patent number, not a marketing name or basis. i.e. Glock model 17 was Glock's 17th patent that they sought from the US patent office.
I don’t think that the patent number thing is true anymore. It was true for the 17, but it seems very unlikely for the past 10 years or more.
Yeah that's not how it works...
Finally a 5.7 in my budget now
yappatalk I’m hoping these result in some price reduction on the fn, which I would prefer. Time will tell.
@@johnnybeanz1296 atleast we have a cheaper option to the 5.7 before i was thinking about getting a 22tcm 1911
had no idea this was coming out, good stuff
What a pleasant surprise!! Between this and the Colt Python I look forward to purchasing them in the future.
I’d like to see the Keltec CP33 in 5.7
Oh god
Omg omg omg omg.. I want I want I want!!!! Someone else Finally f*****g did it in pistol
Hoping Glock would have did it
FUNNY. I DIDNT SEE THE ELSE EITHER LOL
Just bought one and love it
Great video on the Ruger 57 handgun
Nice pistol This was a smart move on Ruger’s behalf, I would love to see them come out with a bolt action rifle in this chambering using the same mags.

That would be awesome!!!

Send them an email, I’ll bet they respond.
Why bolt action
Johnny Johnson well with the cost of the ammo it’s better to have a platform to run through the paces of accuracy out to say 200 yards with this particular cartridge, as compared to plinking 75 to 100 yards and burning through ammo because of it being semi automatic and less accurate.
Would have been good to see the Gold Dot test ammo against expandable media - like the meat target....
The meat target is (say it with me kids) - 2 layers of denim, followed by pork ribs, our watermelon lung tissue, another layer of pork ribs, 2 more layers of demin followed by our high-tech fleece backstop :P
@@mcm95403 Whatever happened to the bag of oranges for lungs?
Go ask Paul
Great review as always
It’s about time someone came out with a better and less expensive 57. Thanks Ruger
If the Ruger 57 is popular, hopefully more ammo companies will start to produce more 5.7 rounds, and the price will come down.
If ammo was cheap as 9mm I’d buy two of these things.
Hopefully ruger making a new firearm chambered it will encourage more manufacturers to make ammo for it, lowering the cost.
I love my Ruger. Satisfied with my purchase
Knowing Ruger, they'll make a subcompact version next year. That's what I'd love to see! I love my P90 and Five-seveN pistol. Speer releasing carry ammo in 5.7 is super exciting as well!
Yet another cool fire arm i cant own in NYC. :-(
I wanted an fn but after seeing this and I seen it selling for 670.00 half the price of the fn. Ive never owned a Ruger this could be the first.
Jump into the Ruger club. My first real Ruger was the GP100. Absolutely no regrets.
Ruger builds top notch weapons
Only thing I have is a mini-14, and I love my rifle.
You are missing out. Ruger makes awesome overbuilt fantastic stuff.
@@TeensierPython I've shot friends of mine that owned them. They were nice but I just never pulled the trigger no pun intended to get one. Now the way things are goin in the market that may change. You can get alot of gun for less money and still get a quality piece. I didn't think of buying a Canik elite until I played around with it. Very nice gun not just for the money but just a nice gun period.
Ruger continues to impress. I will own this as soon as I can FIND one, LOL.
Super stoked for this and can't wait to get my hands on one out at the range day, SHOT Show 2020. I'm a huge fan of the round, and think this will help bring prices down.
The police should really consider picking this gun up for some departments, they would have more effective range and it would be great because of the accuracy when rapid firing.
Over-penetration and less stopping power would be the downsides, right?
@@mojoman2001 5.7 was specifically designed NOT to overpenetrate. Dumps its energy really quick
@@mojoman2001 full metal jackets would but not the new ones in the video it would be a great round.
@@mojoman2001 5.7 is a cop killer for a reason. The round was meant to pierce body armour
Secret Service trusts this round, it must do a decent job.
I wish it used FN mags so it would be compatible with the 5.7 Banshee! Still it looks like a cool gun. Happy New Year👍🇺🇸
Can you mount an apple? I hate pineapple😂👍
@timmybmn yeah I hear you! I bet it will be a hot seller though. I probably will not take the plunge unless a carbine option is available! Happy New Year👍🇺🇸
@timmybmn same here
I would jump all over a 10/22 chambered in this.
@@Ticklethealgorithm Well I have never had many if any failures to fire out of 22 mag! That being said I tend to agree with your statement. Yeah the banshee is a little over $1000 but they look to be a great option. Have a Happy New Year👍🇺🇸
Great video, you changed my mind on this. Kudos!
Love your videos. They are excellent.
Fun fact: during the ammo drought after Obummer's first election this was the only ammo I found in the area. Was able to get a couple of 500 round cases mail order when nothing else was available.
