Palmetto State Armory showed off a variety of new products today, including the widely rumored and eagerly anticipated 5.7 Rock handgun. They also had their PSAK-105 pistol that I shot yesterday, a PSAK in 5.56, and a clone of the Chinese “Spiker” AK in 7.62×39.

PSA Shows off their 5.7 Rock Pistol and Some PSAKs
Rumors have run wild about PSA producing a 5.7 handgun in the last few days. At SHOT 2022 today, PSA had twp of the 5.7s available for handling. They will be offering the 5.7 Rock both with and without an optics cut. Both models will come from the factory with a 23-round magazine, and are expected to release within the next 60 days.

PSAK Spiker and 5.56
In PSAK news, yesterday I got to shoot the PSAK-105, a 5.45 AK pistol. Today I got to see two other variants of the PSAK, the Spiker and the 5.56. Both the PSAK 5.56 and Spiker have been getting shown around for a while now. However, at the booth today a representative said that both the Spiker and the 5.56 AK were in full production, and should be releasing around Q2 of this year.

$1 per round of castrated commercial 5.7 ammo which is total scheise in the world of self-defense and very hard to find? Hard pass!

Try to do better next time, PSA. Maybe build it in 7.62x25 Tok. PPU, Sellier and Wolf make 1700 fps ammo. Not to mention millions of milsurp rounds in people's garages.
What about a single stack 5.7x28MM pistol? It would cut on the bulk and be good for restricted states.
