PALMETTO STATE ARMORY 5.7 ROCK

Design and Ergonomics

The PALMETTO STATE ARMORY 5.7 ROCK is a full-sized polymer-framed pistol built around an ergonomic grip shape and aggressive grip texturing for positive purchase under stress or when wearing gloves. The sniper green polymer frame balances modern styling with practical function, and the supplied PSA Rock soft pistol case makes transport and storage straightforward.

Key Features and Build

Construction uses 416 stainless steel for the slide and advanced polymers for the frame. The 416 stainless steel slide and fluted carbon steel threaded barrel are finished with a QPQ treatment to improve surface smoothness and corrosion resistance. The barrel is threaded and includes a thread protector, enabling easy muzzle device installation. The striker-fired, single-action trigger mechanism is supported by both a striker block safety and a trigger safety for layered protection. Steel 3-dot sights are installed and the slide is cut for direct-mount Shield footprint optics (note: excludes Leupold DeltaPoint Pro); two adapter plates for RMR and Doctor-style optics are included.
