Quoted:

Normally that would be a turn off for me too on a striker fired gun but if I buy one of these it'd be strictly a range toy not something I'd ever carry or use for defensive purposes. I have a feeling most people would be in that same camp. Anyone buying one of these to carry or use a nightstand gun

I also see this and the caliber as a range toy, but still would like to have a streamlined manual of arms.

I would absolutely buy one.

The most exciting thing to me though is that Im guessing Ruger would be releasing this as a companion handgun to some sort of rifle like FN did. Perhaps a version of their PC carbine.

16 round capacity and a craptastic safety? I guess I can hope that this will drive down FNs pricing.

Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and wounded another 31 with an FN five-seven. I don’t think the round is a joke.

I'd buy one if it had a threaded barrel.

Would work great with my Dead Air Mask.

The PS90 is an awesome gun. The FN57 is too but it's even more overpriced than the PS90 for its build quality (and that's saying something).

It is definitely odd but more options in 5.7 can only help availability of the ammo. I hate reloading that stupid cartridge.

Shooting unarmed people in a confined space is a great metric.

There are boutique loadings that hit over 2100 fps out of the FN 57. That's putting the bullet in rifle caliber wound territory at pistol ranges. That's quite the upgrade from 9mm hollowpoint cookie cutter rounds.

Now, can we ask CMMG to do the Ruger mag in the radial delayed blowback lower?

That pistol and a PCC in 5.7 would be a good combo

Well I have no idea why they'd make this but if it works, is priced fairly low, and doesn't cost them a lot to make, they might do well with it.

The magazine capacity makes me think they went with a double-stack, single-feed magazine design, instead of the double-stack, double-feed magazine design that FN uses in their pistol.

That's a great looking semi-auto by Ruger standards.

Too true! Only reason I still have one is to keep my PS90 company. I’ve notice prices have fallen considerably with new FiveseveNs regularly advertised for $999

Posted: 12/29/2019 1:33:16 AM EDT

Why? Because people keep bitching on gun forums about the limited choices in 5.7. I'm pretty sure Ruger has their ear to the ground on this one.

I own three Rugers. A bolt gun, a 10/22 and this thing looks a lot like my SR22. I like all three, but I absolutely adore my little SR22. It slice, it dices. I don't own anything in 5.7, but I might soon.

I bought my first Ruger when I first saw a BX-25 magazine for the 10-22. Then I bought a bolt gun. Then I bought an SR22.

I bet there are more than ten rounds in that 5.7's magazine.

I used to think that way, but guess what? Old Ten Round Bill took a dirt nap and those that run the company even make AR15's for civilian sales. I about shit myself the first time I saw a Ruger BX-25 magazine. Then I bought my first 10-22.

Ruger makes good bolt rifles, 22 rifles and pistols, and revolvers. Semi-auto pistols in any caliber other than 22LR are not their forte

So the rumor a year or two back about a major gun manufacturer making a 5.7 handgun were not BS. Very nice.

In the short term, I can see this leading to a decrease in 5.7x28 availability.

Long term, hopefully this will lead to an increase in 5.7 availability, and ideally, availability of a 2nd manufacturer for 5.7 brass for reloading.
