A Pistol with a CLIP! KelTec PR57 -- SHOT Show 2025\">PR57<\/a> lacks a tilting barrel that unlocks as the gun cycles. Instead, This barrel rotates as the slide reciprocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This design uses two guide rods to direct the slide&#8217;s travel. It keeps the slide compact and makes the whole gun very slim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pr57-is-the-lightest-5-7x28-pistol\">PR57 is the lightest 5.7&#215;28 pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>KelTec claims this gun is 40% lighter than the next lightest pistol chambered for 5.7x28mm. It weighs just 13.86oz and is a mere .937 inches wide. It feels remarkably slim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because the ammunition is significantly longer than 9x19mm ammo, the grip is deeper and still fills my hand comfortably. The feel of the grip is unique, and KelTec&#8217;s proprietary GatorGrip texturing ensures it shoots well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Closeup of the front of the trigger guard showing the texture.\" class=\"wp-image-212047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">GatorGrip even adorns the front of the trigger guard on the KelTec PR57.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fun-facts\">Fun Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PR57 comes with two stripper clips that hold 10 rounds each. The clip aligns with notches in the slide and then you plunge the ammo into the grip. It was cold at the range, but even with gloves on I got the hang of it in no time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then add one more round, or load the whole thing like loading an AR-15 magazine by pressing ammo in from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Close up view of the right side grip.

You change the polymer plate at the back of the slide and add a red dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take down is simple: Push the trigger forward and remove the slide to the front. Re-assemble by pushing the slide back to the locked open position. It reminds me of my classic Winchester .22 rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;PR&#8217; stands for Pistol Rotating (Barrel); 57 for the 5.7&#215;28 ammo it shoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a double-action, long trigger pull with every shot, though it is quite smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keltecweapons.com\/firearm\/pistols\/pr57\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"finally-a-pistol-with-a-clip-keltec-pr57-shot-show-2025\" title=\"Finally!

MSRP is $399. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: The pistol includes two 10 -round stripper clips, but they&#8217;re not ideal for carrying extra ammo in your pocket because the rounds fall out of line easily. I expect someone will design a 3D-printed carryable clip. Also, the pistol is unloaded by cycling the action repeatedly or removing the slide and popping each round out like a normal magazine. Since the slide is so easy to remove and replace, this isn&#8217;t a bad idea.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KelTec_PR57_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Top of the back of the slide.
