It appears to have improved and eliminated the deficiencies of the FN 5.7.

Don't leave us hanging. What are the deficiencies of the FN?

I sawn an FN at a shop recently and almost bought it, glad I did not. I will get one of these, if only to play around with the caliber.
I have no experience with 5.7, but see that it could indeed be fun. |

The only reason I do not own the FN is that it is too big for my average sized hands. Also, in the modern day and age, I will not buy a handgun that is not set-up for a reflex sight from the get go. The Ruger promises a substantially smaller grip, so if it proves to fit my hand at SHOT, I will definitely pick one up. ILya

The trigger is smooth, but way too heavy and the sights are terrible, to me. Too many good options for sights to have the ones it comes with. VERY accurate, will break stuff and very fun to shoot.

Not in hand yet. Schedule has kept me from concluding this, not even sure if it is there yet.
But more coming soon! |
