The 5.7 Rock is a semi-automatic pistol developed, manufactured, and sold by Palmetto State Armory.[2] It is chambered for the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge and is characterized by its generally low recoil. It is a competitor to the Five-seven, the Ruger-57, the M&P 5.7 and the TİSAŞ PX-5.7.[4][5]
Design
[edit]The gun uses a smooth single-action striker-fired trigger mechanism.[2]
The frame is made out of polymer,[6] the slide and barrel are made out of 416 stainless steel[7] and the magazine is made out of black oxide alloy steel.[8] PSA offers the barrel finished in motley colours, it can be bought threaded and non-threaded.[9] The standard magazine holds 23 rounds which is 3 more for a pistol of that size and caliber, the similar size and caliber FN Five-seven holds 20 rounds.
