A groundbreaking pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm, this latest George Kellgren invention sets a new standard in a lightweight design. Thanks to its innovative rotary barrel, it’s the lightest 5.7 pistol on the market today. In fact. It’s 40% lighter than the next lightest 5.7 pistol, making it exceptionally compact and effortless to carry.
Equally significant is the PR57’s unique top-loading design. It replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips, delivering a slim carry profile and an impressive 20+1 round capacity.
“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.”
