>>The Ruger-57 is a
full-featured handgun wrapped
around a standard capacity,
10-round steel magazine,
chambered in the high
performance and low-recoiling
5.7x28mm calibre.
>>The most touted feature of
this new pistol is its
impressive ergonomics. The
slender steel magazine is
surrounded by a glass-filled
nylon frame featuring an
optimised texture,
making for a natural and
ergonomic grip. Despite the
longer cartridges, the trigger
reach is no longer than many
common 9mm Luger handguns. All
of the controls are easily
accessible, like the
1911-style ambidextrous manual
safety, robust slide release
and the reversible magazine
latch.
>>The flat-shooting 5.7x28mm
cartridge is recognised for
its superior ballistic
performance. The lighter
weight projectiles have
significantly less felt recoil
than 9mm Luger,
allowing quicker sight
reacquisition.
>>Rounding out the package is
a windage and elevation
adjustable, serrated rear
sight and rapid acquisition
fibre optic front sight for
fast, accurate shooting;
Picatinny-style
accessory rail; and Secure
Action fire control which
combines Ruger's reliable and
proven internal hammer with a
short, crisp trigger pull and
a positive reset.
