KelTec is introducing the PR57TM pistol, chambered in 5.7x28mm. This new design from George Kellgren, the PR57TH, has an innovative rotary barrel and is the lightest 5.7 pistol on the market today. It is, in fact 40-percent lighter than the next lightest 5.7x28mm pistol, making it very compact and easy to carry.
The PR57 also has a unique top-loading design that replaces a traditional removable-box magazine with stripper clips to delivering a slim carry profile. The PR57 has a 20-round capacity and is optics-ready.
“The new PR57 is a true everyman’s carry pistol,” said Managing Director Derek Kellgren “yet it’s also perfect for first-time male or female concealed carry gun buyers looking for an easy-to-use, self-defense pistol.”
“At Kel-Tec, we’re dedicated to making innovation accessible and affordable,” said Director of Business Development Parker Rosenberger. “The PR57, priced at just $399 MSRP, embodies our commitment to delivering reliable, easy-to-use firearms that pack serious performance into a lightweight, user-friendly design.”
“This pistol features the quickest and easiest fieldstrip on the market,” said Marketing Manager Matt Stanek. “Simply push the trigger forward with your finger and the slide pulls right off, making cleaning quick and straightforward. An impressive feature that everyone can appreciate.”
The PR57 is also the first firearm to be engineered and manufactured at KelTec’s new 33,000 square foot Rock Springs, WY, expansion facility.
“Wyoming has a rich history as part of the American frontier and is a leading example of liberty and freedom for America,” concluded Adrian Kellgren, Director of Industrial Production. “Thus, by focusing our Rock Springs facility on cutting edge manufacturing technology, next generation research and development and, of course, production of the newest trend-setting firearms available, like the first-of-its kind PR57 pistol.”
