Quote HistoryQuoted: Link to order the shorter screws? If you purchased the PSA Rock everyone is just shortening them. The screws for the S&W are a different size. It uses 6-32 size they are available from https://freedomgorilla.com/collections/holosun-replacement-screws/products/s-w-equalizer-5-7-407k-507k-screws-set-of-4 |

Sorry you had issues As I understand it you just got yours. Hopefully PSA has been paying attention to the feedback and is now shipping the correct length screws. |

I got to handle a S&W 57 today, it felt terrible in my hands, I actually prefer the Ruger or even the FNH. Hopefully the PSA Rock is better.

I posted this in one of the other 5.7 threads and thought maybe some different eyes might be in this thread...
Has anybody tried one of the grip sleeves on the S+W to make it feel better in the hand? |

I went with this because of a special occasion. I only have experience with the FN pistols. The other options are quite a bit cheaper, especially the Rock with 10 magazine packages. I also have a PS90 SBR so I have been shooting 5.7 guns for almost 10 years.

Having owned a Rock and a FN I'd say Rock. great ergos, higher cap and it runs and runs. Great company too.

My PSA Rock runs like a scalded ape. It is accurate and a joy to shoot. The follow up shots are so quick as to be comical. Love it.

After doing a lot of research last night I ordered a PSA Rock. I'm getting a two-tone sniper green/black, optics ready, with the 5.2" threaded barrel, 10 mags, and a soft case. This will be my first foray in 5.7-land. At some point I'll probably add a Holosun 407K but first I want to try it with irons.

Friend has one of the Rugers. Fun gun to shoot but I'm not sure I see the point of it. Strikes me as an expensive 22 magnum, which is already expensive enough. Zero interest in owning one.

I just got a FDE Ruger. Nice looking gun, but but I didn’t like the mag release, so I replaced it with the type that comes on the LC Carbine; takes maybe 15 seconds to switch out.
It also has a trigger that makes a Glock oem trigger seem like a high-end match job. Looooong travel, very spongey, and a reset that's almost imperceptible even if you're concentrating on it. That got replaced with a Galloway Precision adjustable trigger ($40), which is MUCH better, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to install. I'll probably stick a Holosun EPS on it pretty soon. ETA: For those that buy a GP trigger for the Ruger 57, Galloway's instruction video is awful. Use the Tandemkross instruction video for their own "Victory" trigger as a guide instead. |

To me it makes sense with the right ammo in a compact PDW.
In a pistol, it seems sort of like a solution looking for a problem. |

I will shoot it first with iron sights but plan to mount a dot in the near future. With my Beretta M9 for scale:  Attached File |

I've gotten out of the 5.7 game. Sold the PS90 & the PSA Rock.
No issues w/the guns themselves. The PS90 was better as an idea for me & then sold the Rock because not going to stock a caliber just for 1 pistol that I was not in love with |

Never had an issue with AE ammo out of my FiveSeveN with over 3,000 rounds.
IIRC, as a bonus some tests showed the AE has decent terminal performance, which is nice considering it is basic “Range” ammo for the 5.7 Nice flat trajectory means you can work on some longer range shooting (for a handgun). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep, here is a copy of a post comparing 5.7 pistols S&W PROS Best trigger pull by far Slimmest Grip Lowest Recoil Easy to install a Dot Sight (RMRc footprint) Easy to use safety Holds 22 rounds in the magazine CONS Jamming issue!!!!! Probably Magazine Related FIXED Will not feed Federal American Eagle reliability (ammo is CRAP, manufactured by Fiocchi) Some shooters consider the grip uncomfortable PSA Rock PROS Relatively Inexpensive (Each one of mine was $599 SHIPPED w/10 magazines) Available in colors Low Recoil Comfortable grip (more so than the S&W) Has palm swells Holds 23 rounds in the magazine Runs reliably Easy to install a Dot Sight RMRc footprint Uses Glock 17 sights CONS You MUST shorten the HOLOSUN screws NO Safety available Ruger 57 PROS BEST looking Will take PSA Rock magazines Sights are decent Magazine holds 20 rounds GREAT Safety CONS ABSOLUTELY the WORST magazine release of ALL, even if you install the extended release The Dot Sight mounts on TOP of the slide Easily the WORST 5.7 pistol on the market!!! FN MK II PROS DEAD ASS RELIABLE Magazine holds 20 rounds Has a Safety Easy takedown First readily available 5.7 pistol CONS HARD to mound a Dot sight Replacement sights are EXPENSIVE SOME shooters dislike the Safety position FN MK III MRD PROS Easy to mount a DOT sight (RMR footprint)| If you liked the FN MK II, you will LOVE the MK III DEAD ASS RELIABLE Has a Safety Easy Takedown You can use MK II magazines with a SLIGHT modification CONS Dated design SOME shooters dislike the Safety position My collection… https://i.imgur.com/uEphlfh.jpg As someone who only owned a Ruger 5.7, what makes it the worst 5.7? Not rhetorical or sarcastic, you obviously have a pension for 5.7 and can explain. I've always been interested in the round, but the firearms never interested me.. S&W Look, Ruger made one so we will too!! PSA Looks cheap... is cheap... sure it works fine, but so do most hi-points.. Ruger Only one company makes a 5.7, let's get one released at half price of the current offering and we can sweep that market quick. FN We're FN. Doesn't matter that it's the size of a 4" N-Frame revolver chambered in a very low mass low recoiling round, they will come, and they will come with cash in hand... Have we mentioned we're FN?! |
