I love this thing. It's a great shooter, ammo is expensive though. Bought it at Intrepid Shooting Sports, formerly Elk Castle for $659+tax

You should scoop up some ammo. The 5.7 ammo manufacturers are not going to be able to keep up with the release of the Ruger 57. I predict in a few months it will dry up.

Got to Ruger.com and check their "Accessories" site. They have a couple of holsters available for the 57.

Lol, FN is about to spit the bit on handguns

Ruger, from what is being said hit a home run with price point and quality

Nice, I gotta read up on these.


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I walked away from one at my LGS last Saturday. I may not be so strong next time.

Does the grip feel pretty long like the FN?


The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

I don't find it to feel long at all. I have fairly large hands and the grip fits me quite well. I've only shot an FN twice before, so my experience is limited.
