How about KelTec make a Sub2000 that takes the Ruger mags. there's your companion carbine, and it folds in half.

That would be nice (I like my CAA MCK), but something in the 8 to 10 inch barrel range would give a velocity boost, while something like a Roni won't change the velocity.

Some industry input.
Cheap 5.7 ammo looks like it’s already gone from most wholesalers. The pricier FN loads are still available. Dealer cost is $529. Street price should be 6 or less. |

I will also mention that a pistol-grip fed braced PCC (a form factor like a B&T TP9 or a Kel-Tek CMR-30 or even MP7) would be a dream gun. Mag-forward designs like the AR15-based CMMG are great in most respects, but really suck when it comes to length and weight over a mag-in-grip design. If Ruger makes a decent MP-7 (or CMR-30/TP9/etc.) shape gun that takes their 57 pistol mags, they might actually be able to get military/LEO contracts again. View Quote Attached File |

I don't remember THOR? The main issue is all brass comes from FN. The Rumors that Speer has nickel brass has me wondering. Is someone else making brass? Or is FN doing Nickel? Does it still have the polymer coating? Or is it misprint? View Quote THOR AMMO |

source? first I've heard of it. Their 2 cans are still listed on the website. But given that they only did .22 cans, they were competing out of their league and they didn't price it lower than more established can makers.

Looks like the FN57 with my axiom is only 5-6dB louder than a 9mm with 147gr ammo.

I saw a mention of a fire control group in a review, but is it also the serialized part on the Ruger? If Flux made a chassis like they did for the M17...that's like most of the footprint and ergos of the MP7 but utilizing the 5.7 round View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

ETA: honestly the CMR-30 is about the best blueprint from which to make a chassis for this gun. Good charging handle ergos, add a rear pic rail a la MCX or Ruger's newer PC instead of a collapsing stock, no need to alter safety location (which I assume is tied to the FCG), keep the handguard length close to the same with a shorter barrel, and you'd be set. Alternately Ruger could just almost-copy the CMR-30 (not like they have issues copying Kel-Tec designs) and make it themselves as a factory option, rather than a chassis conversion. |

I was thinking a CMR-30 style of pistol built on the R-57's action (like the CMR/PMR relationship). If they make it with a 6" to 12" barrel and no stock (just a pic rail like they put on their new version of the PC, to take any MCX-compatible braces of which there are many) they will be golden.

Hey Ruger can you make a version without the "un-safety" lever? Manual safeties are just silly on pistols. Drop safeties, trigger safeties and even grip safeties are ok. Are you going to CCW this huge pistol........... Get over it! Complaining about safeties is getting so damn OLD. |

The .22 LCP makes sense and is somewhat of a logical progression of the LCP design. A no-brainer it would seem. The 57 is another deal. Yes it seems to be well received by the masses. Will this turn into actual sales? Just like the micro 45s that some companies make. People say they're cool and interesting but nobody really buys them.

So - if the FCS is the "firearm" - then we could have alternate grips - including one that takes FN mags...

I'm going to wait.
-I'd like to see more review/critics -Hopefully this will make 5.7 ammo more common. -Waiting for the inevitable "Pro" version without a thumb safety/magazine safety(if it does have one) I'm interested for sure.
