Said Good bye to the Ruger 57

[nmedge]

Sold the Ruger 57 today. Had it for a couple of years and it only had 200 rounds thru it. I liked the gun but the price of ammo was ridiculous. Going to hold off for a while because still deciding between Sig Marco or Hellcat pro.

That caliber 5.7 28 how much punch does that have

 

[nmedge]

Very light recoiling round. Can definitely dump a 20 round mag pretty quickly. The cost of ammo here is $60 for a box of 50. Just too much money and gun is not one to CCW. Its a big gun sizewise. Not heavy but big

The only thing 5.7 has going for it is it’s light armor piercing ability—with the proper rounds.

Which we can’t buy, because they are LEO/M only.

That being said..I still want a PS90.

I was real curious about the ruger lc carbine, which is chambered in 5.7. Then i saw the cost of 5.7/rd and was no longer interested in the ruger lc carbine. $0.60-$0.70/ round is the cheap end.

I have a AR57 set-up for CQB that uses a specific upper that uses the PS90 50 rd mags and attaches to a standard AR lower. Works fine. PSA & others sell a newer upper.

Besides FN, Federal & now Speer makes ammo.

And the 5.7x28 is an official NATO round.

FN Herstal 5.7x28 mm is now a NATO standard caliber

Find an old school Sig 228 for cheaper over the Macro

While I do currently own a fn57, ps90 and a complete upper as in what @Talyn posted. It did come from psa. It's the carbine length. As far as punch I believe the blue tip fn ammo brand has as much muzzle energy as a 9mm. Around the 320ish mark from a 5" barrel. The ps90 (to me) is overrated. The pistol is good. I haven't yet fired the carbine, but I'm sure it'll work fine. 50 rounds of expensive fun. Glad I bought a bunch years ago and prices were around 40 cents per.
