Ruger 57!

Finally arrived! Thanks IRG!!!

This feels fantastic in my hands (I have small-medium size hands). Will be hitting the range this week with some Federal ammo!

These look awesome!!!!!

Do you have a five-seveN?

Does it fit your hands better?

I do not have a Five-SeveN. This one naturally is made for my hands, the stippling is fantastic.

Very cool Paul, we look forward to a full range report. Chasing brass may become a pain, but I love it.

Congrats!.....

Finally hit the range! I’m not much of a reviewer, so I’ll keep it simple- I love this guy! Not one hiccup with 150 rounds of AE 5.7x28. I chrono’d the ammo just to see, and averaged 1630 FPS.

The only issue was the rear adjustable sight was off, and I forgot to bring something to adjust it, so all my rounds were low.

Very little recoil, easy follow-up shots. I plan on buying a plate to put a red dot on and this thing might be a tac driver! Accuracy was hard to judge as the sight was off, and I was outside in the wind- and shooting too fast to judge lol. Seems accurate enough, I plan on hitting the indoor range for more accuracy testing when I have the sight adjusted properly.

A 5.7 has been on my list for a while, might just m0ve it way up higher on the list now with this

Thanks Paul!......

Where's the Snow? Anyway that said,push down on the rear sight when adjusting it... It will allow you to fine tune it, you'll love it once you get it dialed in. PM us if you need anymore 5.7.

Thank-you for the business.

Stay safe,

Lol I don’t know if I’m a good enough shooter to need “fine tuning”!

Any chance you guys are getting any of the rmr mounts coming in? Looks like the Ruger website only sells those to US residents.

Edit:

Found one on your US site, order in!

If my range allowed for 5.7 I'd be all over this. But sadly I'll have to live vicariously through you

Why doesn’t your range allow 5.7x28?

The ammo isn’t armour piercing, not the stuff commercially available here.

Why doesn’t your range allow 5.7x28?

Standard pistol calibres only (.22LR, 9mm, .45, etc) . Even .22 WMR is too much. The back stop isn't rated for anything other than those unfortunately. There is a range that does do all calibres but it's 45 minutes each way (vs 5 minutes).

Perfect... On Monday we will also start exporting Ammo to Canada. If you need anything it is live on the site. PM me your order number we have something to send you.

Welcome to the 5.7 club! That pistol is on my list, I currently have a FN Five-Seven and a PS90 and i'm warning that calibre is addictive. Hopefully with Ruger bringing this pistol to the market it helps bring a steady supply of ammo. It can be tough to find at times, so stock up. Lets us know how it shoots with the RMR that's the reason I'm looking at getting one.

 

[Paul_1982]

Well, it took a while, but my Vortex plate arrived from IRG!

For anyone looking to put a red dot on their Ruger 57, be warned- the screws that come with the Vortex Viper are too long. According to US forums this is a common issue. Ruger made the plate for 6-48 threaded screws, but a different length then what comes in the Vortex box. Why they would do that for a Vortex specific plate? Who knows.

I ended up slowly grinding away material from the screws with a dremel, and finally got it all tight! Can’t wait to test it!

 

[G_Alan]

That looks really good with the vortex. The 57's look so much nicer in person than in pictures. Has your trigger smoothed out at all? I only put 1 mag through my buddy's 57

 

[Thunderhog]

Looks great Paul, thanks for sharing!

Hows the brass chasing going? Is that a pain at all?

I hate chasing brass!......

 

[Paul_1982]

The trigger is not the best, but I don’t mind.

As for brass, I chose not to reload this calibre, the casings have a coating that means no SS tumbling, and apparently it’s easier to cause overcharged loads, from what I’ve read. I have collected what I could though to possibly sell to those who do reload.

Hoping to get it to the range today to try the red dot.
