The Ruger-5.7 is a semi-automatic pistol introduced in December 2019 by Sturm, Ruger & Co. It is the first traditionally-styled semi-automatic pistol to be chambered for the 5.7×28mm cartridge since the introduction of the Excel Arms MP-57 in 2012.

Overview

The Ruger-5.7 was introduced in December 2019 to be a more affordable alternative 5.7x28mm semi-automatic pistol compared to the FN Five-seven pistol (which had been the only other 5.7x28 pistol available to the civilian market for over 20 years). Since 2020, several different pistol designs from several different firearms manufacturers came into the market that expanded the 5.7x28mm’s growing popularity, including the PSA 5.7 Rock in January 2022, the S&W M&P 5.7 in January 2023 and the TİSAŞ PX-5.7 in January 2024.
