The Ruger-5.7 Model 16416 is a TALO Distributor Exclusive chambered in 5.7x28mm, distinguished by its Shimmer Gold Cerakote slide. It combines a 4.94-inch black-nitride alloy-steel barrel, 20+1 capacity, fiber-optic front sight, fully adjustable rear sight, Picatinny accessory rail, ambidextrous manual safety, and Ruger Secure Action™ fire-control system. Ruger identifies this exact configuration as Model 16416 / UPC 736676164165 and currently lists it as having limited availability.
The pistol's most distinctive feature is its Shimmer Gold Cerakote-finished alloy-steel slide. The through-hardened billet-steel slide incorporates lightening cuts along with enhanced cocking surfaces. Ruger drills and taps the slide at the factory for installation of an optic using a separately available adapter plate.
Model 16416 uses a 4.94-inch alloy-steel barrel treated with Black Nitride for wear resistance. The barrel features eight grooves and a 1:9" right-hand twist.
The Ruger-5.7 uses a 20-round double-stack steel magazine, providing a factory capacity of 20+1 rounds while maintaining a relatively slender grip profile. Ruger includes two steel magazines with Model 16416.
For sights, Ruger equips the pistol with a rapid-acquisition fiber-optic front sight and a serrated rear sight that is adjustable for both windage and elevation. The slide is also optics-capable with Ruger's separately available optic adapter plate.
The high-performance glass-filled nylon frame features an ergonomic textured grip and a Picatinny-style accessory rail for compatible lights and lasers. Controls include a 1911-style ambidextrous manual safety, robust slide release, and reversible magazine-release latch.
Ruger's Secure Action™ fire-control system combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. Additional safety features include the manual safety, integrated trigger safety, lightweight firing pin, neutrally balanced sear, and hammer catch. The pistol can also be field stripped without tools or pulling the trigger.
At 24.5 ounces, the Ruger-5.7 Model 16416 measures 8.65 inches overall, 5.60 inches high, and has a 1.20-inch slide width.
