As long as PSA keeps manufacturing 5.7 ammo this might be something to own. It’s ALL about ammo availability.

[@Moondog2A]

Is AAP's PSA's hose ammo brand?

[@krm944]

@ yes. I saw something interesting from SHOT. PSA has identified shortcomings relying on other ammo manufacturers. They are pledging to “feed what they sell” so any product PSA sells, AAC will be making ammo for it. This is big if they put the 50 cal and 338ARC into full production.

[@snappertrx]

Very unique. Looking forward to getting ahold of one.

[@Moondog2A]

Let us know what you think. Hope you subbed.

[@jw1604]

Why do I like keltec? Because they create inventions - successful or not, but they are incredibly creative... When other companies slap a 1911 clone or a Glock clone as if nothing else could be invented... This gun is not bad, but the price of 5.7 ammo will suffocate it.

[@Moondog2A]

Well said. I would like to see this in 22WMR or 22LR. I hope you subbed.

[@FoulPet]

Would be even better if they were useful.

[@Rudofaux]

​@@FoulPet You think 5.7mm isn't useful?

[@FoulPet]

@@Rudofaux not in a keltec

[@Rudofaux]

@@FoulPet Oh, so you're going of personal opinion/feelings & not hard evidence? I kinda figured that.

[@TheRealOfficialGator]

honestly clip fed is probably much faster in an emergency. Much easier to load a clip from empty than it is to load a magazine. No need for speed loaders for those who struggle without one, no need to stress about a faulty factory magazine spring, all sorts of pros.

[@Moondog2A]

Not sure if its faster. But with 20rnds if you need to reload in a self-defensive situation, you need much heavier firepower? Hope you subbed.

[@Picit-13]

Hope you are having a good time Moondog!! They will sell a ton of them!!!

[@Moondog2A]

Exhausting and feeling like crap from all the talking and dry desert air. But yeah great to be at SHOT.

[@Dwayne7834]

Good video and informative. 👍🇺🇸

[@Moondog2A]

Appreciate it.

[@troy9er]

I want one!!!I need to know how do you unload the magazine?

[@Moondog2A]

Me too

[@troy9er]

@ yea looks pretty good. 😉

[@eel845]

There's no magazine. You rack the bullets out one by one

[@rafaljankowski2807]

Good luck clearing the gun in case of jam.

[@Moondog2A]

Good point. No way to know how hard this would be without having one and creating a double-feed jam.

[@FoulPet]

Nightwood has a video of it becoming a brick.

[@FoulPet]

​​@@Moondog2A2 keltec reps and 3 minutes to clear a malfunction.

[@Devante808]

Does anyone have a date yet?

[@Moondog2A]

I've learned not to believe any "release" date I hear at SHOT

[@obxarms7685]

How are you supposed to unload that thing safely?? Through the chamber??

[@Moondog2A]

I hope I remember this correctly, I think with the slide back there's a little tab that releases all the rounds , something like the frame lock on your knife.

[@believein1]

@@Moondog2A The old 52-card pickup LOL.

[@Joeak74]

QUESTION...1 How do you unload a loaded one? QUESTION...2 What type of trigger does it have? I see no external safety, so is it a double action only? That would make sense and keep a shooter safe.

[@Moondog2A]

1. I hope I remember this correctly, I think with the slide back there's a little tab that releases all the rounds , something like the frame lock on your knife. 2. Double-Action only. The trigger did break smooth.

[@stevev4057]

Monstrum Archangel

[@Moondog2A]

You want to see that next? Ok, working on it.

[@michaeldunn150]

I don't know about the take down system...... someone will bump the trigger forward somehow and there goes the slide sliding off...

[@Moondog2A]

Even with the trigger forward, you'll still need to slide the slide forward too past an internal indent.

[@joedouche3818]

It's soooo california dude.

[@Moondog2A]

Way. Except that it can't be sold in CA unless KelTec goes through the expensive process in having it "Safety Tested" by the CA Dept. of Justice.

[@stick3024]

nice gun

[@Moondog2A]

Indeed. Hope you subbed.

[@joedouche3818]

Four hundred dollars for a gun that takes a life time to load? Uhhhhhm nope! Easy pass! Loading this gun is definitely saying you don't care about life, or you underestimate the other guys reloading skills.

[@Moondog2A]

Lifetime to load? More like 2 seconds.

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

I checked this out on tuesday and the trigger is horrible. Plus no threaded barrel and loads from the top of the chamber. Ill pass, the PSA rock is better in every way.

[@Joeak74]

What was the trigger like? was it a double action only? Much like a revolver?

[@krm944]

For people in a free state there are better options, I agree. But this is aimed at Commie States - no magazine!

[@Moondog2A]

I disagree, the trigger felt nice for a double-action.

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

@@Joeak74The trigger has a super long reset and felt like a nerf gun.

[@Joeak74]

@@TacticalBuffoonary two totally different breeds of cat. They can't really be compared too each other. I love my Rock.

[@natew.-victoryorvalhalla4571]

Hard pass on this

[@Moondog2A]

It's a niche pistol for sure.

[@natew.-victoryorvalhalla4571]

@Moondog2A Definitely. I have been a Master Gunsmith and Engineering for over 30 years, and I've seen a lot of different variations along the lines of this same idea and this definitely incorporates several historial fitearm with its own twist. (pun intended) Unquestionably, this gun is not without merit. Especially size-wise. But, it's more of a collectors item or fun range/outdoor shooter. But, for defense? Tough sale. Not only because it doesn't have magazines, there's others reasons. I probably shouldn't have been so blunt with my first comment. I was suffering from a bad headache, later turned migraine. I can see a market where people would want this. It's a good throwback to the M1907 Roth-Steyr engineered by Karl Krnka. The thing that just strikes me as making it VERY niche is the fact that the 5.7x28 round barely has any recoil at all. That being said, it's hard to "feel" from a video how hard or easy it is to track the slide and pull the trigger. It could be a useful gun for older people with arthritis. Either way, there will be people that buy this vendor l because of its historical designs with modern twist and it's overall unique. It would DEFINITELY be a conversation piece.

[@WWIIREBEL]

@@Moondog2A A YT short is going around by youtuber TopShotDustin...he apparently broke the Keltec PR57 that was being introduced at Shot Show,lol. I am just gonna stick to my old wheel gun,lol.

[@chriswedgworth]

Very cool @adrianmateogunz

[@Moondog2A]

It's a collector piece. But I don't have 5.7 ammo kind of money.
