Ruger LC CARBINE 5.7x28mm

[@UncleDanBand64]

This little gun definitely has my attention. I am glad to get your take on it.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It's pretty cool. If I had the Ruger 57 pistol I'd def get one of these.

[@UncleDanBand64]

@Buffalo's Outdoors Yeah, I am right there with you. I just finished watching your video. As you well know I am a fan of shared ammo and mags between pistol and carbine. I think 9mm has some advantages over this caliber namely cheaper to shoot and makes a bigger hole but, that velocity is definitely gonna be an advantage with that 57. I think all in all 9mm makes more since but, I still want the 57

[@johngissendanner5836]

I definitely want a 57 in this platform or the pistol. Was looking at RIA pistol and bolt gun in 22 tcm today

[@UncleDanBand64]

@John Gissendanner OH yeah, the TCM is a great little caliber too. Hopefully other gun and ammo companies will jump on board with it.

[@timbaker4423]

I have one and i like it. Its one of my travel companions when I go camping, off-roading or trail driving.

[@GenX-Grampa]

I LOVE my Sig Tango 1-6 scope! Its a good match for a tactical squirrel gun!

[@TheMr2cent]

Random but your voice reminds me of growing up watching Bill Dance videos on Saturday morning! Good times!!

[@michaelbenge2388]

I LOVE mine. No recoil. Accurate.

[@nevmax9312]

Great video!! I dig this platform all around. Bought the carbine a month ago, and I’ve put 120 rounds through it. Brand new out of the box, not one issue. It’s laser accurate at 20/30/40+ yards. Operation is simple and ergonomic, and I was shocked at the lack of recoil. Best $700 ever spent. I found the matching handgun at my local shop for $700 used. So the carbine is currently going at a cheaper rate NEW vs. it’s counterpart handgun USED. (Win carbine) That fact that you can get both for $1400 or less, is a huge win in my opinion.

[@benjaminpavao1821]

You're videos are a pleasure to watch, keep them coming!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you like them!

[@markeggert4535]

I consider your opinion one of the most honest on KZbin. Thank you for the information.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Appreciate that! Thank you!!

[@Aaron-mn8gw]

I'm glad to see this carbine and cartridge begin to take off. When I came up with the idea for Ruger the 5.7 carbine idea came to mind. I knew it would be a small market looking for this rig but if you want something light and handy for anything from home defense to vermin in a light package this was it. Throw it on the atv or in the truck and you have some decent and reliable firepower compared to the .22 mag or 9mm.

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thank you Buffalo. I am very interested in this round but adding a new round is a nail biter. God Bless and stay safe.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Fully understand!

[@tommccormick9290]

Ruger needs to start making higher standard capacity magazines. Like 30 or 40 rounders to increase the fun factor as well as add to practicality.

[@charlesmullins3238]

Ol buff yer like a limp biscuit…hard to beat..I wish we were a tad closer so you could do long range rifles at my place…I load and shoot almost everyday…workin with his 6.5prc waypoint right now and man what a cartridge….got 130tipped matchkings scootin round 3200fps and on a 200 jug looks like a Beowulf…shot a p90 the 1st yrs 5.7 ca,e out and was stunned by how easy I could hit a small target 100yrs away…thanks brother…matt

That would be neat -I don't have a place to shoot long range here.

If you reviewed a squirt gun we all would enjoy it. Always great.

[@wildbill6233]

Great job on this one. Looks like a fun toy to play with. Thanks for doing what you do Buffalo.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@hanselmansell7555]

Problem is it's not a toy? 🤔

[@ctsnider88]

I like 5.7. I was interested in the Ruger 57 but now this got my attention. Thinking about the trigger though.

[@TheGeorgia53]

We have had a 9mm Kel-Tech Sub 2000 for years and it is flat out the most fun gun to shoot out of everything we own.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Love my Kel-Tec Sub 2000 as well!!

[@Dwayne7834]

Thanks for the review . Ruger makes some good little guns.

[@swhedge71]

Always appreciate and enjoy your videos Sir! Thank you! Cheers from Texas

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@charlesmorgan1879]

A good little caliber but to pricey for my budget for gun & ammo. Thanks for the info and Thanks to your buddy for sharing .

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you for watching !!

[@StubProductions]

Interesting rifle. Warming up to it. I want them to make in 22 mag and 9 mm. I see no reason that would wouldn’t work. Plus ammo easy to get and “affordable”

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

Cool little backpack carbine. Fantastic review as always Buffalo

[@BillB23]

As usual, a fine video. Thanks, Buff! Every time I see you wear that Gadsden hat I admire it. I've had my eye out for one for a while, but to no avail.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed the video. That's one of my favorite hats!

[@stephaniemusick171]

Thanks for this review Buffalo. I always enjoy your take on a new firearm.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it !!

[@buncha5651]

Another great gun from Ruger. Always look forward to your reviews. Buffalo, keep them coming.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

[@alancrews2066]

Thnx

[@kencarnley7101]

Love Your Videos. Your easy listing voice, production of videos (the way you brought in the target when shooting with optic) are a pleasure to watch. Wish I could shoot as well as you do!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks so much for this comment. I really appreciate it.

[@jimsoderbom5884]

Great info, thanks for sharing! Probably my next firearm purchase to go with my 57...

[@ackamack101]

Thank you so much for this video, Buffalo. I have this carbine’s little brother and I think I must get his big brother for him! 😌👍🇺🇸💪

[@buffalosoutdoors]

You are welcome!

[@redfaux74]

I'm glad you did a review on this caliber. I've never heard of it. Thank you for putting it next to the 9 for comparison. If you were a G dealer.... you would've had a sale on the spot. I will be getting one. Pistol and rifle. Keep up the great work and stay safe. ❤

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you! Glad I was able to introduce you to a new caliber. The pistol and carbine make a great set!

[@steveperry3538]

Thanks for the review Buffalo. Nice carbine. Good shooting

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@bobcatforever3485]

Buffalo. Good video. Very nice gun. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!!!

[@pistolgrip44mag]

Love mine. The cost of the ammo to run through it and my Ruger 57? Not so much.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Right!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

40 gr bullet doing ~2,050 fps from a 16" barrel, centerfire cartridge. If that doesn't meet your fancy, this isn't for you. To contrast: 22WMR rimfire 40gr @ 1,950 fps from 25" barrel. 22 Hornet runs 40gr @ 2,826 fps from 24" barrel.

[@coreypischel3779]

Good shooting. Another fun and informative video. Look forward to each video you put out.

Thanks! You too!

[@SPINNPROOF]

I appreciate the velocity test, THANKS

[@aidshusten240]

This thing is a ar15 deplacer...its lighter it has the better ammo for its range...and its accurate..the ammo is lighter in weight...the best thing for Home Defense and Backyard tin shooting.

[@The9Realest556]

Just got pistol, carbine coming next

[@kbkesq]

With that shape and speed would love to know how far out it is effective.

[@timshelley8635]

Awesome! I'm interested in this one and the Keltec in 22 mag. Great video Buffalo!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@tomb6269]

Great Video!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!!

[@fyisense9312]

I've been a fan of that cartridge for years. Good video. The first pistol I shot in 5.7 x 28 could shoot grapefruit sized groups at 200+ yds. The FFL/store owner I used to shoot with had one. Those rounds I shot were more than likely handloads. Another bench shooter that I knew had a barrel and bolt made for one of his bench guns and he could always shoot inside of .200" at 100 yds.. An accurate .22 Mag on steroids that can be hand loaded. What's not to like?

[@fortusvictus8297]

respect to anyone who can confidently hand load 5.7 regularly. The difference between min load and max is so small, I can't be bothered with it.

[@fyisense9312]

@@fortusvictus8297 I can see where that could be an issue with fast powders. I haven't recently run the numbers through QL but I would think that a slower, gaseous ball powder in a carbine would eliminate the small margin of error. I remember years ago I heard similar comments about the .223 only relative to the price. That was when cheap .223 ammo was very cheap by todays standard. "It isn't worth reloading". I always wanted consistent accuracy so I handload everything I shoot. If I wanted to get some factory loaded Norma or Lapua 6mm Bench Rest or 6.5 x 47, I'd have to wait forever and they would be expen$ive.

[@mariobryant7670]

I just might gotta get me one of these.

Very good review of that LC Carbine. Thanks for the 9mm, 5.7 and .223 comparison. I'd get one but for the cost of its ammo.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you !! Thanks for watching !

[@Dayattherange]

Buffalo REALLY TOUGH question? Thank you for the review love the details. The 5.7x28 is known not to be for reloaders because there is a coating on the brass that is required for the FS2000 from FN to work. If you tumble this brass or wash it even with something like simple green this coating comes off and causes reliability issues in the FN products. You know I love my reloading and because of this I have never even looked at this round. Do you know if the Ruger and others that have recently come about have the same issues? I do know of some that have reloaded it sure but using the brass only once, because of this issue some say it is down right dangerous to load it because non ejection can lead to high pressure.

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍great job Buffalo, your reviews are always top notch. I would love to have one of those…….. just wish the price on the ammo would come down.

[@treetop.garage]

Neat carbine ..great video buffalo

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@joeybobbie1]

Now I want one. Not that I need another Firearm, but because I Like It. Thanks for showing this and educating us about the Round. This Round I’m guessing is still a .22 but stronger than a .22 Mag?

[@jamessotherden5909]

Nice review and great shooting.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!!!

[@johncanterbury8152]

Wish ammo for the 5.7 wasn’t so expensive and hard to find

[@empireoflizards]

That was a great review! I don't have anything in 5.7 yet but this looks pretty cool and maybe worth trying out.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Go for it!

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Hey Buffalo. I have one of these carbines. They are a great little carbine. I can cut bullet holes at 25 yards with open sights on the bench. Glad you enjoyed your testing. Definitely worth the money to get one. I have no issues with mine. The only negative thing is the price of the ammo. But hopefully it will keep dropping. Did you S&W brought a a new 5.7X28mm pistol? Good review stay safe out there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Yes I had heard of S&W 5.7x28 pistol, I hope they bring out a 5.7x28 carbine as well!

[@nightvan4427]

I love you ❤ But bullet is expensive and not useful for me this beautiful rifle 😂 I love it in 22 or 308❤

[@bcbloc02]

Seems like about 10 years ago I looked at a 5.7 and think it was over a $1/rnd so maybe prices have come down with popularity.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Yes I agree they have come down somewhat-I hope the prices continue to come down as this round continues to grow in popularity! Thanks Brian!

[@jgH3T]

Good job on the review, some others miss the mag release & AR stock swap. I just got both carbine & pistol but haven't made it to the range yet, my ammo just showed up today. How were the factory sights out of the box?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

At 50 yards I was about 15 inches low. I had to adjust the front sight.

[@RevNeilDDavies]

What’s the maximum effective range can you get on this carbine? Up to 200 yards?

[@Tommy-rr7ez]

I'm sure you have got your answer by now but a few weeks ago I watched a good video and knock down effected was 220 yards.

[@mojoman2001]

Opening 30 seconds: $30+ in ammo

[@thetraveler5798]

40 grains in grams is little over 2.5 grams if it were gold in today's price (24 karats $65.00 x gram) (22 karats @ $60.00 x gram) that would come out to be $ 162.00 per bullet ! 😳😲😯 Don't mind me just thought of what if ...😆😆😆😆(😵) 😂🤣🤣 😎❤️🛡️🇺🇸🛡️❤️💯🤙

[@wonkachocolates6133]

Those are cool, but that 5.7x28 ammo is pricey compared to 5.56x45 rounds.
