Ruger 57

[FARMTOFIELD]

Anybody else as anxious to get ahold of one these as I am?

1 in 9 twist, light bullet, FPS seems to float around but 1600 seems a reasonable expectation for a 40 gr bullet.

Spec sheet says it weighs under 25 ounces? Low recoil.

Whoa, the suggested retail is $799.00 which seems really high for a 22 mag on steroids.

Accuracy?

Wonder if you can reload the brass. 30 cents a round for FMJ factory ammo.

Gunbroker sellers think the world of it, going for over suggested retail. Couple of retail places have the pistol and just under 600 bucks but nothing is in stock.

Be interesting to see a 5.7x28 rifle.....

Reviews are glowing....seems like a decent purchase just about 200 bucks high (for me)

I think the real world price will, be around 600 once the new wears off a bit, but heck the keltec pmr just has become readily available. I want one for a critter gun.

If it goes well, I can see ruger putting one in a bolt action, possibly with a rotary mag.

I am thinking the actual retail will be the $600.00 you mentioned but it will go on sale and be down in the low $400 range.

Even so those numbers won't be achieved if the price of ammo does not drop into the 9mm range.

Now, a rotary mag bolt 57 would be good for both guns without hurting the existing 22LR business (cost of ammo).

Sit and wait time.
