Overview
The Ruger-5.7 PRO is the no-manual-safety version of Ruger's full-size 5.7x28mm pistol. It keeps the 4.94-inch barrel, 20+1 capacity, adjustable rear sight, fiber-optic front, and Picatinny accessory rail of the standard model.
The slide is drilled and tapped for Ruger's separate optic adapter plates. For the full-size Crimson Trace CT RAD Pro, use Ruger factory plate 90722. Crimson Trace identifies the CT RAD footprint as Docter-compatible and calls for Ruger plate 2, while Ruger identifies 90722 as its Docter-family plate for the Ruger-5.7. The smaller CT RAD Micro uses a different compact footprint and does not use this path.
Ruger's PRO manual warns that sights weighing more than one ounce can cause short cycling, especially with 27-grain ammunition. A footprint match confirms the hardware path, not reliable cycling with every optic and load. Test the finished setup with the ammunition you plan to use.
