They all jam Ive been told its the magazine
MY RUGER 57 UPGRADES: 1.)-> HOLOSUN 509T circle/dot fully enclosed sight. My gunsmith drilled the holes to mount the included HOLOSUN plate on the RUGER slide. 2.)-> black Cerakoted the slide 3.)-> painted rearmost surface of the hammer WHITE to easily see if it is cocked 4.)-> The Vest Guy Cordura cloth double mag pouch 5.)-> RUGER Kydex OWB style holster 6.)-> 3rd magazine (2 in double pouch, one in the pistol) Sixty rounds total!
PLUS, for my PS90, 5 mags, 4 in two double mag pouches on my vest. ZOMBIES BEWARE! 210 rounds of badassery.
What brand is the mounting plate did you use
It has to be a better name for adjusting your sights then SLAVE!!! CUT IT OUT BUDDY!!
I don’t believe that’s a "different hex key" but rather what they call "Torx". I think possibly a T-15 to be exact in this case.
Just use a 5.7mm shell laser bore sighter.
This guy is so full of poo it’s coming out of his ears.
instead of that slaving–could you use a laser bore sighter?
So it looks like we should avoid FN ammunition in the Ruger 57
I just purchased one thursday tested it sunday ran into 1 or 2 jams but cleared the chamber and fired ok where could I get the rounds in the red box from and the ss198’s
Thank you for the info I was wondering about how it would work
Ive read the optic weight causes various problems with cycling.
I bought the federal American eagles and the ruger hates that shit. Completely tears it up
I know you didn’t just say you shot a 9 mm better than a 57 🤦
There is an issue with this firearm or the dude running it. Rds off a rest it should literally keyhole the same spot over and over at 10 yards. Wtf ? This dude a noob or the firearm?
The Vortex adds too much weight with those crappy underpowered Federal rounds.
The 40 grain V-max & the Federal rounds are underpowered junk, so they will have trouble running the slide with the optic on it.
SS195LF, SS198LF, EA T6B, Vanguard BFD & rounds like that are the ones you want to run.
I’m fairly sure this was designed for hunting replicants…
I just got my R57 yesterday… so excited to get this thang to the range… thanx for the vid with the Vortex Venom…
If you are missing with this gun it is your fault dude. I put 200 rounds thru mine exactly where I pointed it and I can’t shoot for shit.
thanx bro you really helped me out with the mounting of an optic… although I went with the Burris Fast Fire 3… cant beat the (Forever Warranty:No Questions Asked) love the vids keep bringing us the goodstuff
Do you have any feeding issues after mounting venom? I do for the first cpl rounds I mean I already did cuz the mags are shit but I fixed that now the red dots making it jam
Shout out to Outer impact for where I got my sight plate from, you can use just about any commercially available red dot on the ruger 57 with it. https://outerimpact.com/shop/ruger-57-pistol-red-dot-adapter-mount-m-r-a-copy/ PS.where did you buy your ammo?
That’s funny none of my screws that I have fit the mounting plate on my Ruger there’s only one set of screws and I have that fit but they’re just a little too long not even the ones that came with my Vortex Viper don’t even fit that’s weird
WILL THE VORTEX RAZOR FIT.
Very good ammo review with the 57
For God’s sake do NOT make Ruger 57 your carry gun! Be aware of the lack of firing pin drop safety (Instructional manual, page 22)!!! https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/Ruger-57-5Grk6FEwx7.pdf
"For maximum safety when carrying the pistol with a loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty"

1/16 Allen is super sloppy in my set screws, any ideas? Ty
I put just 40 rounds of Federal so far, no issues. I haven’t shot the same FN you shot(red and blue box)yet, but ready to put the Venom on it. I’m praying it doesn’t effect the cycling. Thanks for the vid.
That paper target movin’ around in the wind probably doesn’t give accurate results. Anchor that target stand down.
Didn’t even show the red dot
well done
All shots high and left. I’d say this is more of a shooter issue than an issue with accuracy of pistol. I have the gun, have used various rounds in it, and can honestly say after close to 500 rounds, only seen one jam. Never had an extraction issue, nor a feed issue. It’s a nice gun, with either iron sights or optics.
I Think by you Adding the Mounting Plate and the Red dot Sight you have added weight to the Slide Causing MalFunction…These 5.7×28 pistol need to have a light weight Slide.
I just put on the same Venom last week. The Ruger mounting plate screws already had thread locker on them. But the problem came when I went to use the screws that came with the Venom. They bottomed out on the top of the slide as I see yours did as well. But mine never came close to tightening the red dot at all. I had to use my belt sander to shave off a few thousandths from both. I don’t recall what how long the started out as but I shaved them down to 0.380" and they seat well without bottoming out on the slide. My slide has permanent marks from the screws now as yours does.
I’ve read about the issues with the weight of the red dots, and with the plate we must use, well, that’s that much more weight. A weaker spring might help with the rearward travel of the slide, but the same weaker spring might cause problems with the next round feeding. I haven’t taken my R57 out to shoot it yet since mounting the Venom. I purchased only 1,000 rnds of ss198lf and won’t use anything else. And I won’t feel confident with the setup unless I can shoot at least 500 rounds without any type of failure. Otherwise it’s the G17 that stays by my side in the mean time.
Oh thank the Emperor I was kinda bummed that it didn’t have any rails on top but now I know the items I needs to get and remember knowing is half the battle. 😁Thanks for the vid gots me a new sub on the youstube
My R57 hasn’t jammed once with around 200 rounds thru it
Between the failures and the PISS POOR accuracy I will not be owning this caliber once again lol
What about the feeding issues
Why buy a ruger 57 when you can buy an FN57💯💯💯
It jammed because its the poor man 57
That’s what you call a better target?? Man put a silhouette up and shoot center mass.🤔🤔

Does the mounting Plate Comes With Vortex Venom ?
This guy man… I stopped watching
lol these comments are funny many competent YouTube shooters say this gun is sweet and 5.7 speaks for itself.
I put the same red dot and started getting jams with the American eagle and some with the blue tip.
or get a Sightmark Magnetic Laser Boresight universal and save a ton of money. I use this thing on everything all calibers.
man, what a piece of shit gun lol
So many words you say the five-seven is a piece of crap
Never tighten one screw or bolt or anything completely before putting in the other screw nut Bolt excetera. Never! Every school boy should know that.
You must not be very mechanically inclined.
