Johannes was born in the late 70s in northern Sweden. While other kids stayed inside playing videogames, he spent his youth singing and eating things he found on the ground. Once in a while, his father would bring his Toshiba laptop home from work, on which Johannes experienced his first and most successful attempts to write Basic programs. Besides that and a few NES rentals, Johannes never had an opportunity to escape reality, and could do nothing but jealously listen to his friends bragging about their latest conquests in the 8-bit world. Today, Johannes has been making music under the name RUGAR since 1998, always with one thing in mind: to create soundtracks for the games he never got to play - music not requiring special fast-shooting skills or superior self control to experience - music about you, me and everything that surrounds us.

FN 57 was about $1400, pre Ruger, then dropped to about $1100. With PSA at $500, will be interesting to see where FN and Ruger prices end up. Started to get interested in 5.7 when Ruger dropped the new carbine. Now, even more so knowing the PSA mags will run it. Something to consider if 5.7 ammo continues to drop in price and get improvements through competition between manufacturers.

STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen is a BOBBED, SHROWDED HAMMER on a FULL-SIZED SIDEARM and this explains the HELLACIOUSLY bad trigger--it's about as stupid as a cut slide that doesn't correspond to compensator cuts in the barrel (which you wouldn't even need for such a light-recoiling round).

@calebnation6155

@selfentertained1932

Great video! One thing I'd add about the price of the ruger is that you can also buy the LC carbine so you have a matching carbine for your pistol which makes the ruger a little more versatile imo and worth the extra cost.

@voteholyk

2y↑22

Good stuff, I was really looking at the Ruger 5.7 a while ago but the price and availability of the ammo made it a no go for me. The ammo is becoming cheaper and easier to find now that more companies are making guns for it so that's good. Stay safe buddy.

I always have a firearm within arms reach even while in the shower (ruger under a fresh set of cloths). Even in Texas while I would mow the lawn in the middle of the day I would have a Ruger 57 in a waistband holster (crossbreed). During all that time when it was my go to gun I never had my Ruger 57 rust. It appears Ruger is inconsistent with the quality of their finishes.

@scottlawson9206

VERY nice comparison between the two pistols! Honestly it's worth getting both (although, I'm a bit perplexed why you didn't opt for the PSA version with the slide optics cut). For those considering attaching a suppressor, the PSA is available with the slide already cut for optics (it comes with two adapter plates for different footprints, the slide is cut for direct-mounting of Shield RMS/SMS footprint plus it comes with a blank-off plate) and a threaded barrel. At the time of this comment Ruger doesn't offer the pistol with a threaded barrel already installed but they do offer a threaded barrel on their website. Note: the threaded PSA barrel is 1/2x28 while the thinner Ruger barrel is threaded M10x1 and comes with an adapter for 1/2x28.
There are a couple of suppressors which are specifically designed for the FN Five Seven pistol which also uses the M10x1 thread, so it's possible to purchase a suppressor in that thread without any additional adapters. Oh, and the striker-fired system has been proven well over 40 years- Heinrich Ortgies introduced a pistol in three different calibers around 1920, and the Baby Browning soon followed it (also striker-fired), among many others. Despite what many believe, Glock didn't come up with the idea (nor are they the first to use polymer frames- that milestone goes to HK).

@JihaddJay

Excellent review. Love the blooper reel. Not sure I like the concealed hammer on the Ruger, probably because I never owned a pistol that had one. I like to know the firing status of a pistol. If the safety has an auto-decocker that would be better. The Ruger is definitely better looking but I really like the heavier barrel and price of the PSA.

I had no idea there was a Ruger 5.7 Carbine out there, so thanks for that mention. I recently bought the classic FN Five Seven. I chose it over the Ruger pistol, which is by most standards a much better value, but I'm a 90's gun guy. I'm definitely gonna check out the Ruger carbine though.

I do not like that overly clunky rear sight on the Ruger. A real plus for the PSA is the ability to take a much greater variety of sights, and magazines that won't break your bank account. I definitely plan on getting the PSA.

I purchased the Rock frame separate from the optics ready slide and threaded barrel with 1 mag for $470. Ammo at .70 a round without additional shipping.

@bobbyricigliano2799

2y↑23

I own a Ruger 57 and I like everything about it except the magazines. After about the 10th round, the follower doesn't move freely and the rounds tilt forward and backward. Every magazine (about 10) behaved this way. This results in a lot of cartridge movement, including bullet tips nosediving into the front wall of the magazine. This problem got worse as spring tension increased closer to capacity.

Normally I would put several hundred rounds through the gun before even contacting the MFG. But the 5.7 rounds are more than $1 each so I sent the mags to Ruger before firing a single shot. They were great about accepting and inspecting the magazines. I believe they replaced the followers and springs, and returned them to me quickly. A++ customer service. But the magazines behaved the same way when I got them back.

I took the pistol along with a mix of FN blue tip, American Eagle FMJ, and some frangible rounds to the range. Out of about 120 rounds, I had exactly zero malfunctions. I mixed the ammo types, topped some mags off, loaded only a few in others, and the gun cycled perfectly. At 25 yards, it was very easy to keep everything in the 9-10 rings, but the holes were so small that I couldn't tell without retracting the targets back to me. Other than being loud, the pistol has barely any recoil and is a pleasure to shoot. I still don't like the magazines, and I think they could have been designed better, but the pistol is a champ.

Now if we could get 5.7 ammo prices down a bit.......

@bigbinhous

2y↑1

Did you check your serial number vs the recall? There was a recall with certain serial numbers with issues

@jamesw7072

I believe the Ruger 5.7 accepts the magazines from the Rock. You get an additional 3 rounds per mag to I believe.

@bobbyricigliano2799

2y↑3

@Brian Strohm Yep, and mine is post-recall. I don’t think the recall had anything to do with the magazines though.

Just ordered a Rock 57 with a threaded barrel to try it out. I wanted something to throw a suppressor on. Didn't want to thread my PS90 due to the collectible nature. I was looking into a Keltec, but this Rock just came at a discounted price whereas Keltec P50 was overpriced everywhere. It was a great hassle and a lot more cost to thread the Ruger due to its thin profile. You have to thread the barrel to a different pitch, add an adapter, then add the can. The thicker PSA barrel just made them easier to directly thread onto the barrel itself. Save the adapter and the possibility of issues with concentricity.

Also, my last Ruger 57 was very inaccurate. I got much worse accuracy out of it (shooting the 197 blue box 5.7), both using iron and red dot, compared to my M&P9 on the same day. I spoke to Ruger person and was told to send it back for repair. But I just sent it back because I'm so tired of wasting this expensive ammo.

I hope the Rock gives me a different experience.

My question is, which one is closer to the FN57 in terms of structure, size, and holster compatibility? I know the Ruger will fit into the same holster as FN57, how about the Rock? will they fit in the same FN holster, or will they fit into a Glock holster since it looks more square-shaped like Glock?

@robertsimmons1653

2y↑12

Either of these would make excellent home defense handguns.

@BuffRANGE

2y↑4

IMO the trigger I like the Rock the best as is from the factory. Then the FN FSN, and then the Ruger. The Ruger's trigger has that mushy DA like pull you show. Aftermarket shoe offerings for the FSN do add some better trigger options for the FSN, but that short reset on the Rock is hard to beat.

@roymercer441

2y↑4

I put 200rds through both of them today and I love them both. Off a rest the Ruger slightly nudged the PSA at 50yds both using holosun accs reticles. It was so close it could have just been me. I was shooting reloads, FN ammo.. I have an FN also and it may go on gun broker, the newer 57's are next level.

@damarislewis5292

Which one you like the best bro?

@murphymmc

2y↑12

Watching closely as you fired, the Rock had just slightly less muzzle rise. In the target comparison, in spite of the heavier trigger, you grouped better with the Rock. Not surprising, the Rock had less travel and good reset. I do like a light trigger, I also noticed a group size increase with long trigger travel. All that can be trained out with practice but with limited ammo, there it is.

@HeyWatchThis00

The Rock trigger will smooth and lighten with several hundred dry fires. Saw that on their forum & found it so with mine.

Since this video was first published. There has been some slight changes with the Rock's magazines. My partner has the Ruger 57. I just had the Rock delivered. The Ruger magazines will work in the Rock. But, you have to T-cup the grip to hold it in place. The new Rock mags will work on the Ruger, and will lock into place safely and cycle a round safely.

@sparty94

I have both, they are equally reliable (100%) in my experience. I have prefrence in the Psa rock however. The ruger has a sloppy loose trigger, less capacity, more tedious to take down. Psa feels higher quality as well. Also the glock compatible sights on the rock is a very useful feature. (i have no experience with red dots on the guns so i cant tell you which one has better micro dot mounts since i have an eye issue.)

@davidw.5185

@adryenz

I'd go with the rock over the FN and the Ruger specifically because they give you threaded barrel and rail options without an extra hundred bucks, when the gun is already at a base discount comparatively. If the Rock is anything like my Dagger, its solid design and build.

Yep, I don't have the need to put a gun on the shelf due to no ammo. So it remains 45 acp & 9mm for me.

Went with the Rock before I looked this up. I feel like I made the right choice for me. Got it with the Holoson red dot and threaded barrel.

If the prices for 5.7 ammo comes down and more readily available I'd pick up both the Rock and the Rugar 5.7 Carbine. Sadly both those reasons keep me from being able to hop on the 5.7 train 😔

Very in-depth review of the 5.7's I have the PSA 5.7 Rock with the threaded barrel and with the Holosun 507K red dot.This PSA is a dream to shoot

@thezuck8157

I went with the Rock. The 23 round mag actually holds 24 without having to force the last one in, and it seats properly while overloaded.

I like this style of video! Competing firearms head to head!

@VadidElab

One thing ive never seen anyone mention about the ruger is how jiggly the barrel is without a round in it. if the psa isnt like that then its probably more accurate.

@maegliinvalantor6441

I'd like the rock, but my experiences with PSA customer service have been awful. I had one on order and ended up cancelling it damn close to shipping due to their poor communication. Because if thats what I had to look forward to with a shipping question, god-forbid there be a real problem. And I'd had this issue with them on another gun I ordered, I had hoped they'd improved.

5.7 was on the rise pre pandemic, then it fell off. I've been excited to see it come back, especially with the MSRP of the PSA Rock and Ammo prices generally coming down. $34/50 rnds is about where 9 mil is right now.

@aastudios4607

dude, go on PSA…i work at a gun shop near Philly, and we are EXPENSIVE selling 9mm $20 for 50 rounds. you can find it on PSA for like $13-16 for 50. stop overpaying! 💪

I really do like the looks of PSA’s barrel. I’m surprised they didn’t do something with the design to show it off more (not that I would necessarily—slide cuts and carry guns don’t mix too well imho).

@BB-fo7cf

LOL, oh really. That slide cut in a holster is a problem?

@85318531

I got the Ruger57 last year and I love it. But I tested the PSA a few months ago and in my opinion the PSA is superior. But I still love my Ruger.

@texas66

PSA needs a carbine that uses the same mag as their pistol to keep up with Ruger!

@jackjohnson291

2y↑4

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. They’ll hopefully take what they’re hearing about what people wish Ruger did with theirs and apply it to the PSA offering.

@mrarivv0007

PSA is a retailer not a gun manufacturer. In fact all of their guns are just trademarked clones. Trust me PSA is already winning, that's why they invested into private labeling firearms to compete with the "name brand" firearms. Simple business 101. If you know you know.

@brianfischer5609

Technically they do. You can get an AR9 which takes the same Glock mags.

@homelessman3483

@Brian Fischer not in 5.7 though

@honkhonk1555

The problem with the ruger carbine is the barrel is way too long IMHO for the round. The whole point of the 5.7 is it’s great with great velocity out of a short barrel. I’d ruger comes out with one in a shorter barrel, I’d buy it and use it as a cheek pistol.

I didn't even know PSA had a 5.7 pistol until coming across this video. Learn something new everyday. I have a Ruger 57 and I like it a lot. It's a fun shooter.

@Broski__

2y↑1

These are cool, and I'm glad more companies are pushing 5.7 and hopefully driving the price and availability of the cartridge down.

But I'll wait until somebody like Walther, H&K, etc releases something a bit more premium. Or maybe FN will give the Five-SeveN a makeover. I'd go after that.

@jimyeats

2y↑1

Hmm…FN giving the Five-seveN a makeover…
Funny you should say that…..

@Broski__

@jim yeats Ya lol, totally forgot about the MRD. I'd definitely pick one up if they weren't so pricey.

@roberttalbot1658

Definitely going with PSA for many reasons. Also, it's always pissed me off when shopping for Ruger magazines, that they continually price gouge people with their overly high prices ! I can't think of any other manufacturers that are as bad as Ruger with magazine prices.

@jeffjohnson3695

Walther can jack up the price of mags with anyone. 2011 mags aren't cheap either.

@MrNOAH504

I was wanting the Ruger for a little while now,but when the Rock came out I was attracted to the price. Then Ruger came out with the carbine and I want it. So after watching this video I think it's the Ruger 5.7 Carbine,and The PSA Rock pistol. Yeah, that's it. 👌🏾

@bly4233

Rock has a 7-round mag extension now for 30+1. Less recoil and muzzle flip. Looks great. Feels great. Cheaper. Threaded barrel and optics mount. PSA FTW. Also, S&W has entered the race, but I would still take a PSA.

@robertsilveus3071

2y↑3

Leaning towards the Rock. Awsome round. Ammo price still needs to get lower before I 'pull the trigger'.
Great video. Love the head to head. Stay safe. GodBless.

@roberttalbot1658

2y↑1

Couldn't help but notice that the PSA was extremely accurate in your shooting. The trigger weight on the PSA is more to my preference. Takedown on the Ruger seems slightly fiddly. Internals look complicated on the Ruger. And, subjective I know, I find the looks of the PSA to be cleaner.

@Tony-cv2id

Huh have you ever shoot a Ruger57? Maybe re watch the video you get what you pay for😂

@MrBossmanfred

I have both, love both, but if I had to pick, it would be the PSA . Threaded barrel, optics cut and a better feel/less felt recoil. I bought the FN first, my least favorite.

@williamplatt6859

Just bought a PSA Rock blem based upon your thorough review. Can't wait until range time!

@gwahl1985

It was instantly apparent when the review started, that the PSA had significantly less recoil. It stayed on target more where you had to fight with the Ruger a little more to get it back on target.

@mattg8116

2y↑2

I went with the Ruger, though I like the PSA, with 5.7, its all about speed, and for that you need barrel. Both guns are great, but the Ruger offers a slightly longer barrel and that's the W for me.

@thystaff742

If you want speed go with a carbine. 25fps isn't enough to make a significant difference in a pistol.

I love my Ruger 5.7 and was thinking about getting the PSA, but when Ruger came out with a 5.7 LC Carbine, plans have changed.

@BB-fo7cf

@est. 1994 Yeah that would have been great, make the gun that much longer. We prefer guns as long as possible when used for home defense.
What kind of idiot wants a carbine as short as possible.

@B B Why do you have to result
to immidiate insults? I have a 10.5 inch AR15 and you can get them even shorter. Even if the mag well is seperate. Its just what I prefer to look at. Theres plenty of home defense options I know I just gave my opinion sheesh

My Rock fits a Warriorland full size 1911 Kydex IWB holster. Slide extends about 3/8 inch from bottom of holster. Went with a Rock after holding both Ruger and S&W models. Like the feel of my Dagger. Figured correctly that Rock would be just as good and price was great

@timtimtimmay4654

The PSA at the price during Christmas by buying the slide, mags, and frame separately along with the quality for what you get sold me on it. You get out the door with a threaded barrel, two mags and night sights for under $450 after shipping and taxes. It was just too good of a deal for me to pass up knowing I would get more interest in this round after having a blast with the .22 TCM.

@betweenthebars19

I bought my 5.7 for $525 after taxes and shipping but it came with 10 mags. Then the Xmas sale happened and I wanted to kick myself. I don’t think I need 10 mags but you know what, I got them!

@timtimtimmay4654

@Jeff Davis That was still a great deal. Not sure I'd need that many mags, either. At least you got the box, too. Mine came in cardboard.

Can we all acknowledge that the Rock is about as aesthetic as a rock next to the Ruger though

@westcoaststacker569

We all have different preferences.

@TheSethxy

Wondering how they stack up to the Smith and Wesson 5.7? The tempo barrel seems interesting.

@chrisvonahnen3578

Very nice overall presentation 👍 The trigger part I don't understand? The trigger on the Ruger seems to fall through on all but low pull. While the PSA check all boxes for competition bullseye shooting. It's a mystery to me why you prefer the Ruger trigger, you like it I get that, but why?

@kentwilliams4152

2y↑1

Like the Glock 41 the Ruger has the open top slide. To me a closed slide is significantly better since it is less likely to choke on dirt, sand, leaves, etc.

@yamxo17

1y↑12

Yaaa the PSA rock for sure i love the accuracy and the lighter trigger pull for faster shots.

@KerryFairbanks

1y↑17

Given me the PSA simply because I hate the trend of large bubble letters on the slide. PSA sleeper with that fluted barrel. Throw on an after market trigger, night sights and call it good. Maybe a light if it's home defense

I keep trying to convince myself that I need 5.7x28 in my life…but I haven’t been successful as yet. There’s a lot to love, but still not enough to “pull the trigger”. Wouldn’t you just love that PSA barrel with the Ruger fire control system? That could be the answer for me.
