    Ive had my Ruger 57 since early December and so far so good. Wanting an FN for years but the cost was prohibitive. I really like shooting 5.7 x 28(or used to before this ammo skyrocketed in price). I think Ruger actually improved upon the FN design, the thumb safety is more intuitive and the top cut slide is a nice touch. Mine has been incredible reliable so far as well, about 500 plus rounds through it. Thank you for this and ALL your videos! They are highly informative and always entertaining.

      @taccovert4 4 роки тому +11

      I'm in the same boat. While it might be boring as hell, 9mm has improved so much throughout my time shooting that it's basically become my everything caliber. I keep some 357 for my revolver (singular), and I've got a stock of 45 because I think the 1911 is an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age, but that's it in handgun calibers. Something like 5-7 is just too niche for me, I could only see having anything in one if I were a regular hiker/photographer or somesuch who wanted to minimize weight but have a gun for dealing with mountain lions, snakes, coyotes, people who are snakes, etc. Or if I were in an executive protection capacity where I was part of a VERY small team and the likely threats would regularly include people wearing lightweight body armor. In both cases, the mag capacity and the deep penetration/flat shooting would be useful. For literally anything else, I'd say that there is a traditional caliber, and almost certainly one of the big 4 (9mm, 357, 45acp, 38spl) that is more suited to your use

    73k views in less than a day on an “obscure” caliber from a very low key enthusiasts presenter know mainly for high quality instead of hype.
    This gives me hope for the hobby.

      Anyone who is trying to convince you that firearms are not a household appliance for a large number of Americans is lying to you and trying to get something out of you.
      Scare you so you act less relationally more often than not

      I'm an avid shooter and even subscribe to other shooting channels but this was the first Paul Harrell video I ever watched and it was only because UA-cam recommended the video. Two months later, I think I've watched every video on his channel 😂

    First time viewing one of your videos...very concise information and demonstrations. Great side info comparing the 5.7 round to other more common rounds. A lot of useful information presented very effectively. I've been excited about the Ruger 57 and have been debating on getting one. I think I'll wait to see if they can improve that trigger pull...because you were right...that was absolutely terrible. I don't want to buy a range toy I'm just going to have to upgrade (at it's given price anyway) and this definitely wouldn't replace my daily carry. Thanks for the excellent information, you have yourself a new subscriber.

    I really appreciate your videos sir. You are very factual and you are non-biased which is great you find that a lot of times when it comes to weapons or channels on UA-cam where they talk about firearms people are very very biased. Most people gravitate to FM products because they were used by our military and special forces as you know but the fact that you showed a less expensive model with better performance and you didn't hide it has only made my respect for you and your channel grow greatly. I really appreciate you and thank you for your service it would be great to meet you if you ever come to the Midwest

      False, any real Marine can kill with the combined arms of sarcasm, personal insults, and foul language.
