Kel-Tec PR57

[Lab4Us]

So I read about this in the latest (June) American Rifleman. It seems interesting. Anybody here tried one? I find the top loading 21 rounds in such a small frame, along with absurd FPS interesting.

PR57 | 5.7mm Rotary Barrel Pistol | 20 Round Capacity

Unique & light. The PR57 is our 1st rotating barrel firearm and the lightest 5.7 pistol on the market. Its slim, streamlined design make it perfect for edc, and turning heads at the range.

seems crazy designed, but may function fine? with no mag to drop it limits your ability to clear a malfunction

But should get around those commie states trying to outlaw any firearm with a detachable box magazine…though they still have those silly 10 rounds magazine limits. But if no magazine, no foul?

Well, technically it is a magazine, though not a detachable one. It’s a clip loaded magazine fed pistol. I’m sure those wonderful folks in Commiefornia and similar areas will quickly adapt their laws to fit

But, it's not a detachable that they hate so much

And everybody knows making it detachable means it’s SO much more dangerous

Remember the Grendel .380? Loaded from the top, blind magazine using AR stripper clips! George Kellgreen is not afraid to try different ideas, that is for sure.

Unless one is really enamored with

1 the 5x28
2 in a mag restrictive state
And 3 KelTec

I’m not sure this is gonna be a great seller other than a novelty. I mean the same type of designed pistols seen in WW1 weren't around for WW2 for a reason!

I got the Kel Tec pmr30 or something like that, it works but dern thing feels like a toy.

Common additional language "

" or internal magazine that holds more than 10 rounds " .

Exactly why I retired in Texas…well, zero State tax helped that decision a bit .

Though I’m sure most of us are aware that two or three 10 round magazines work just as well as a 20 - 30 round magazine, unless you need, for some reason, to do an 11 round+ mag dump…
