I had a thread here where you could buy one at a great price in a pre introduction sale. Have they even been introduced yet ? The link below is best price I've seen, but no one has any in stock. Buds has thgem for $679 and you can reserve one.

Think I'll wait a while before getting one. Have read that after all the hype has worn off them, they'll go down to the low $500's and possibly $499 when on sale

Whats the intended purpose of this thing? and that 5.7x28 round.?
Just looks terribly clumsy for EDC.

5.7 round is supposed to defeat light body armor. I'd like to have one, but not for my EDC

The 5.7 gives 20 shots per mag in a lightweight package.


Only hits count.

I will have one. Knowing the extended range of the little 5.7 round from owning several FN's, and also knowing how Ruger builds their stuff, I can't see this as anything but a win / win.

The current edition of the NRA magazine The Rifleman has it on the front page and review inside. Just came in the mail today and I haven't read it yet.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Well, just stopped by Larry's in Madison last night and they had one. Now I do, lol. Haven't shot it yet but looking forward to trying it out! Mag release is a little hard to reach, even for larger hands but otherwise feels pretty good. Trigger is very light and crisp.

The round is great. You can bust clay pigeons out of the FN at 100 yards with irons. I kid you not.

Plus , FN has some rounds that are armor piercing and will go right through level 3 body armor. Just saying.

Good info. Is Larry proud of them or reasonable?

They are getting $699 for them. I've seen them as low as $619 online but after getting my hands on one I had to have it. Ready to try it out!
