odd. i'd read that people who'd reloaded and stripped the coating were getting failure to extract - brass sticking in chamber. darn; the chances of me getting a matching ruger 5.7 pistol to go with it seem long gone now ...
Actually I could see that being a thing. Unless the schematic on Wiki is wrong it has zero taper in the case, which is not a good feature for extraction but is necessary to fit 50 cartridges into a straight magazine.
Some googling suggests the coating is required for reliable ejection in the Ruger 57, not just reliable feeding from the ps90 mag.

The coating is really only needed if you are loading to full power. If you are loading for fun and plinking you just need to down load a bit until extraction becomes reliable.

Doesn't matter, anymore. We're only good for filling sandbags for floods and saving people during winter storms. Other-wise we're kicking posts and crazies who are over worked, over taxed, underpaid and never truly appreciated.

Yes. NR I definitely would buy.
