Kel-Tec PR57GRN PR57 Compact Frame 5.7x28mm 20+1 4" Black Steel Barrel, OD Green Optic Ready/Serrated Slide, OD Green Textured Grip

The Kel-Tec PR57 in OD Green is a compact 5.7x28mm pistol built for shooters who want a lightweight, carryable handgun without compromise. At just 13.86 oz unloaded and 7.16 inches overall, the PR57 slides into an EDC role where capacity and shootability matter. The 5.7x28mm cartridge brings velocity and low recoil to a platform that's genuinely manageable in real-world conditions—whether you're running drills at the range, carrying daily, or building familiarity with a modern, efficient round.

This OD Green variant features a serrated slide for positive grip during manipulations, a textured grip frame that doesn't slip in your hand, and a 4-inch black steel barrel. The optics-ready slide means you can mount a red dot without additional tools or adapters. Kel-Tec ships the PR57 with two 10-round stripper clips and an optics mounting plate, so you have options out of the box for loading and sighting. The 20+1 capacity (with a full magazine and one in the chamber) gives you respectable firepower in a package that won't fatigue you during long carry days.

The PR57 isn't trying to be a 1911 or match a service pistol—it's a purpose-built compact that does one job well. The 4.5 lb trigger breaks clean, and the 1:7 twist rate stabilizes the lightweight 5.7mm bullet consistently. If you've been curious about the 5.7x28mm platform but didn't want a full-size rifle, or if you need a capable, flat-shooting carry gun that handles like something much lighter, the PR57 is worth a serious look.
