Palmetto State Armory 5.7 Rock

Palmetto State Armory has released a full-size handgun chambered for the fast, flat-shooting 5.7x28 mm FN cartridge.

The PSA 5.7 Rock is a striker-fired, polymer-frame handgun designed to maximize capacity with the small FN cartridge. It can be had in an optics-ready configuration with a milled slide cut for the Shield footprint, and open-sighted models with night sights are available that accept Glock-pattern sights.

Externally, the PSA 5.7 Rock is highly similar to the Ruger-5.7, with both guns having a Picatinny accessory rail on the frame, front and rear slide serrations and extensive texturing throughout the grip frame. Palmetto State Armory offers a 23-round, flush-fitting box magazine with its gun, which is equipped with a 4.7" barrel.

MSRP is $500 (as shown). For more information, please visit palmettostatearmory.com.
