I have a FN Five Seven so I don't imagine I'll be purchasing the new Ruger57 anytime soon but if I didn't already have my FN I'd probably give this new Ruger a hard look.

Can't wait to stretch its legs...
The ammo can sometimes be a little expensive for these 5.7x28's and you can really burn through it rather quickly if you shoot it much. Keep an eye on Palmetto State Armory, they run specials on the FNH 40gr Vmax ammo every so often and sometimes it'll even include free shipping. A couple years ago the had it on sale for 16.99 and free shipping so I stocked up. They had another similar sale awhile back.
These 5.7x28's aren't the easiest thing to reload for so I don't even mess with reloading for mine.

I’m interested in your brass if you have saved it. ;)

I generally don't save any my pistol brass, sorry.

It was either that or start a new one. Now people can discuss both the Ruger and Rock in the same thread. ;)

How impossible would it be to find ammo or components?
Factory ammo isn’t as cheap as it used to be, but it can be found.
Components are another story, although this round is not fast and easy to hand load. ;)

I do have 3 gallons of spent brass waiting for me when i am ready to start though!
Post by: huntnphool on January 21, 2022, 03:50:31 PM
I did a little reloading but stopped for now. I load for about 25 different chamberings but this little round is very easy to load to dangerous pressures so I get nervous. Additionaly the brass has a coating on it that i understand comes off with abrasive tumbling techniques and I have not set myself up for ultrasonic cleaning.

They have a lacquer coating to help with feeding, do not tumble them. Even ultrasonic cleaning needs to be watched carefully. ;)

That ‘Rock’ looks like it would be interesting. From what I have seen on the reloading, the coating is not really needed for the Ruger, so some take it clear off and do not have issues.
3 gal of brass?!?! Wow! That is a LOT of those little cases!

Downside is the trigger reset. I’ve taken up the slack of the trigger safety but didn’t pull then released- it sometimes then clicks and the trigger safety will not depress again unless you rack the slide. Really like the cartridge and the pistol otherwise.

I’ve got the Ruger 5.7. Nice gun, very accurate.They do make an after market trigger for the ruger. My dad put one in his and likes it.
