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. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/ruger-57-57-x-28mm-gun-20-rounds-black-16401-p-110275.aspx

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

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

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. 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!

how expensive is the 5.7 ammo ? It's high, but this should change things.

Thanks for the update. May see if I cant talk the wife into letting me get one soon I thought about that but then decided it might be easier to get forgiveness, lol. She's a good one. Never complains about me buying guns, especially if I get her one every once and a while. All I got when I told her was an "ok, cool".

Good deal, mine about the same. Never have complained but she does ask from time to time why I need so many. I have 3 boys so I tell her so they have plenty when in gone but I have to have the same number to pass down.

I read the review in the NRA magazine and it's all good. I reckon they really liked everything about it, especially vs the FN original version that had very poor ergonomics and high price tag. The Ruger is half the price of the FN and that should help sell it. They did mention the quite long forward travel of the trigger for reset. And it has quite the muzzle blast as would be expected from a high pressure round. Hopefully Ruger will add a few options as buyers give feedback and I might get interested enough to buy one.
