[Music] Ruger 5.7 yeah yeah yeah yeah. I know, I know you're already thinking about the FN Five-seven, because it's the really only pistol that I'm aware of that shoots the 5.7 round. And Ruger has come out with their version of a gun that shoots 5.7. What I'm not going to do is spend the next 10 to 15 minutes—being will be that long—but I'm not gonna spend the rest of this video talking and comparing this gun to the FN Five-seven. I'll save that for another video. So this video, we're only going to talk about the 5.7. Yes, alright.
So firstly, first, let's talk about the way this thing looks. I like it; I do. I know other people are like, "But it looks like the Security 9," and it does, but I never thought the Security 9 was a bad-looking gun. I know some people did; I didn't. I think I favor the most on this gun are the grips. It's a very slim profile—it's a very, very slim profile, which I like a lot. And I love this granular texturing that they have on the grip of this gun. It just—it just works, and it feels really good, good, like—like really nice, confidence-inspiring.
So let's talk about the safety. I know there are gonna be people who hate it. It doesn't bother me, because I don't use it anyway. But there are certain occasions where I may run a safety on my gun—when I mean "run" and "run a safety," meaning I will engage the safety in the way that I'm using it or carrying it. One of those ways is when I'm doing off-body or in a backpack or something. So I like options, so the safety doesn't bother me. It's really easy to actuate; it's ambidextrous. I—it's really easy, really, really easy. So you're not gonna lose any points in my book with the safety on this thing.
I like this cutout on the top of the slide. I don't know why, maybe because I'm one of those like cool-kid, like super high-beasts gun type people who like—I came up in the age of like custom guns, right? Like when customizing Glocks was like all the rage. It's still all the rage now, but like I was kind of towards like the beginning part of that. So you cut—you start cutting holes and slides and making lines and stuff. I'm gonna be happy. I'm sorry, I'm a millennial. Well, no, I'm a Generation Xer/millennial. I'm like right on that cusp and part of that last great generation of people. Yeah, I said that. So I like it a lot. The cuts on this gun are really, really, really nice. You know, crazy, like okay, so what's crazy is these cuts—this round doesn't really generate a lot of energy, like what—a lot of kinetic energy. I mean, it moves really fast, but it's really small. We're talking like a little 20, 22—well, baby, I'm trying to—it's a little Baby Yoda round because I've used it like three times in the other videos or whatever. Um, but I mean, there's just an inherent cool factor about this gun, largely because of the round it shoots. This—you have what is essentially a rifle round in a pistol caliber—in a pistol format. That's cool, however you want to slice it; it's cool. Beyond that, the gun itself—it's long, has a really long slide, and I'm assuming a long barrel, and I'm assuming that's to take advantage of the incredibly high speed of this round. Considering, and you're gonna need the longer barrel to do that, and—and shooting this gun accurately is incredibly easy. Part of the reason why it's incredibly easy is because the recoil is so negligible. It's—it's hard—it's—it's really funny how like—how, you know, there's a lot of power coming out of this gun, like alright, not a lot of power because like I said, this round's not that powerful, but you know, it's not your traditional .22, and you—it is, but at the same time, compared to say a 9, .40, .45, and this thing is—the recoil, I think it's so negligible, so negligible, and it makes shooting it accurately really, really, really easy. Problem is, because the round is so anemic in some ways, I don't even know if I'm hitting it sometimes because I can't hear the steel. So if it doesn't move, which a lot of times it doesn't, cause the round's a little anemic—oh no. Hey, you know who really likes these guns a lot? Rappers. Rappers love these things. But good, like the successful rappers, not—not the struggle rappers, the successful rappers; they love these things. Well, they like the FN Five-seven, and they like these things a lot, and largely because you get a pistol—you get a pistol with 20 rounds—like putting rounds in a handgun that look like rifle bullets. If I was a rapper, I like—most—I used to carry an FN Five-seven. I used to carry an FN Five-seven for all of four days. I stopped carrying it largely because the gun was just too big, but it's like this gun is light, also. It's a really light, light gun, especially considering how big the profile of it is, considering the long slide, but you don't have that anticipation of recoil. I love it; I love it. You just—it just makes you feel like an all-star. You just run around, just yeah, oh my god, like you just—if you want to show off to people who've never seen you shoot before, right, and don't really know that much about guns, shoot one of these. If you don't like—"Like, I got a really good shooter"—like, "Oh, I'll prove it. Alright, give me my Ruger 5.7. I'll go ahead now, show you how good I am with my—"
So the trigger—I'm hesitant to really—I'm on my last round—I'm hesitant to really say anything about the trigger because I feel it's like one of those triggers that have to get broken in, but I'll just tell you how it feels right now. So dry fire—get the wall—and get some creep—lockers—actually, I typically don't like that wall—a lot of creep. However, under live fire, you don't notice it; you don't notice it at all, actually. So I want to run this—so right now, if I had to give the trigger a grade, I gotta say about a C. Yeah, but everything I just said in this video means nothing. Well—well, it all means something, because otherwise I wouldn't be doing a video on it. But the thing about this gun is the price. This bad boy will run you about $600 plus dollars. There is another gun out there that will not be named, even though I already named it in this video, that is double that price. It's the same—and from what I just shot, I'm just saying—don't get me wrong, there are aspects—I already know the distinctions between that gun and this gun—that I like and things that I don't like. But from shooting this gun right now and the price, I'm just saying—I'm just saying—the gun is a damn—it's a good gun, man. Of its—I didn't know what to expect when I first saw it. I'm like, okay, they gave me an exaggerated Security 9. I honestly think it's a good-looking gun. I like it; I like the proportions. I think they work. I think I love the grip; that's my favorite part. It's gonna actually—it's a grip I love. The top of the floor plate cuts, these fiber optic sights—dope. I believe some of these will become fitted optic-ready where you could run a red dot. Other than that, man, this thing feels—I mean, the recoil is negligible; it's like nothing.
