The KelTec PR57 is a unique 5.7x28mm pistol featuring an internal 20+1 capacity magazine loaded via stripper clips or manually. It boasts a slim profile, optic-ready slide with a Shield footprint, and a rotating barrel mechanism. While innovative, range testing revealed a double-action-only trigger with a long reset and initial feeding issues, with manual loading proving faster than stripper clips for the reviewer.
The Kel-Tec PR57 is a lightweight, magless pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm, weighing only 13 ounces unloaded. It utilizes a 10-round stripper clip for loading, with a total capacity of 21 rounds achievable through two clips and a hand-loaded round. This innovative design eliminates the traditional magazine to reduce weight and size, positioning it as a potential concealed carry option.
