The 5.7 Rock pairs a 416 stainless slide with a QPQ (nitrided) finish and a 4.7 in carbon steel barrel that is also QPQ treated and non-threaded. The result is a durable, corrosion-resistant setup with straightforward maintenance.
The slide is cut for direct-mount optics using a Shield footprint and includes front and rear serrations for confident manipulation. Glock-compatible sight cuts expand sight options beyond the factory iron sights.
A flat-faced trigger and trigger safety complement the striker-fired, delayed blowback action, delivering a consistent pull in a simple, familiar control layout. The left-side magazine release supports quick reloads.
The full-size polymer frame features molded texturing and an integral three-slot Picatinny rail on the dust cover for mounting lights or accessories. Capacity is 23+1 with the included factory steel magazines. The model was announced in 2022 and is U.S.-made in West Columbia, South Carolina.
