 Hey there friends thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at the new Ruger 5.7. New release from Ruger. Nobody saw it coming. They simply put it up on their website. They put a few pics on Instagram and it lit the internet on fire. Many people heads are turning over this handgun because Ruger took on the 5.7 by 28 millimeter round and here it is. It's a bottleneck round. A lot of people love it. It's a high velocity round. This one here moves at 1655 feet per second and it's got a 40 grain bullet in there and it's low recoil. A ton of fun to shoot. The problem was prior to this is that FN made the only handgun that I'm aware of and it was priced right around $1,200. Ruger came out with this full-size handgun with magazines that carry 20 rounds and the MSRP is $799 and that's the big difference and that's why people are excited to get back into the 5.7 by 28 millimeter round with this Ruger 5.7. If the grip looks familiar to you that is because they use the same grip and texturing as the Ruger Security 9. See that and it's also an internal hammer gun with a single action trigger. So the grip is wider than the Security 9 but it does give you that full-size feel to it with a 4.94 inch barrel and a full dust cover there. Check that out all right you can pretty much mount anything on that but I already mentioned 20 round magazine this magazine is made of steel so it's a heavy-duty magazine they do give you two here and you may notice this one's loaded we're going to weigh the gun with loaded mag but you can see it looks like a rifle mag and that's because it's got this bottleneck round but when you load it you load it just like you would load a rifle mag right just like that push down you don't have to slide the rounds in and so we'll go ahead and remove those so it's easy to load it's not a thumb breaker at all but once again a full-size gun with a single action trigger let's check that out Ruger's calling it a flat face trigger so it doesn't look like it but you put that trigger bar safety in there again it's fairly flat I'm measuring it at four and a half pounds and there you go upon the reset right there very low recoiling I took it to the range already just took it to an indoor range for a function check it was it was very nice it was accurate and the the recoil impulse was certainly manageable and a lot of fun I can't wait to get this to my outdoor range and see see what I could do with it because I have some high expectations front serrations a fiber optic front sight adjustable rear sight already mentioned internal hammer gun it does have what Ruger's calling a 1911 style thumb safety that is ambidextrous you can see both sides there that will lock up the trigger and the slide sweep down that disengages it's optic ready as well now in the case it comes with a plate but Ruger's telling you to go this oh by the way this case is like huge it's this huge case and it's very nice but it comes with this plate here now Ruger's telling you you can custom fit your optic by going to shop Ruger.com I think this is the mounting plate for that and you know that's the rage right now everybody wants red dots on their handguns so you can do that here also has a sight hole indicator and there it is the laid blowback system the disassemble is quite easy all you have to do is lock the slide back and then over here that's the take down button you have to push they have to give it a nice hard push you can hear that it clicks a bit and then you just move this part down release the slide and then just pull it off just like that you don't even have to slide it off and then over here you've got your captured recoil spring and polymer guide rod then here's your frame all right very light glass filled nylon is what Ruger calls it and here's your 4.94 inch barrel okay looks a little different because you don't have the the tilt barrel that we are used to and then your slide also has a lightning cut in there that is pretty cool so it's got an easy disassemble to it and that certainly helps when when taking it apart and cleaning it like i said i took it to the range i really enjoyed it the low recoil the accuracy and everything that it offers makes it a lot of fun so once you get it on to this position all you do is lock it back and move the slide back up and push it in like that and there you go it offers a lot of full size gun and that exciting round really has people excited i've been hearing a lot about this a lot of people have said hey are you going to get your hands on that i said i'm going to try you know no promises unloaded weight is weighing in at one pound eight and a half ounces we move that to just ounces 24 and a half ounces and that's exactly what Ruger said it was on their site which is amazing many times the specs do not align with the actual weight or the trigger pull or whatever with many of the guns so this one does 20 rounds loaded up here and get it in there and that is weighing in at 29 and three quarters so you've got to carry around there 29 and seven eights and i'm not sure that that close there we go okay when with a loaded round with 20 rounds in there you have to slam that mag home to get it in there and also the magazine release is reversible as well so there it is the Ruger 57 people's heads are spinning people are excited and i think many other companies are going to make this 5 by 7 or 5.7 by 28 millimeter round and you're going to see a lot of people enjoying this and yours truly will be one of them if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
