Will you need a taller front sight to co-witness with the Holosun ?.

Looks like Dawson Precision is the best choice. A very large selection of heights and widths in three different styles.

I am curious if manufacturers would start making 5.7 pistols in 4.6 also. Could make for an interesting take on the rock 5.7! Not to mention cheaper ammo, I am told.

I think it highly unlikely that any commercially available handgun will ever be offered in the 4.6x30mm cartridge which was never actually adopted by NATO. See this comment on The Firearm Blog “ Between the two rounds, I agree with the conclusions of NATO testers that the 5.7mm is overall the better cartridge. The choice of a 4.6mm bore diameter on HK’s part is in my opinion a “bridge too far” for the small PDW cartridge concept, and is the major limitation of the round with respect to manufacturing, internal and terminal ballistics, and other characteristics. The perforation advantages of the 4.6mm caliber don’t seem to be very significant, and the same effect could also be achieved with the 5.7mm via an improved core or a sabot loading, anyway. Most significantly, though, the 4.6x30mm HK is – due to its small bore – essentially incompatible with modern service pistol designs.”
The only commercially available firearm in 4.6x30mm is the CMMG Banshee ( based on the AR-15 Platform rather than a handgun platform ) which is also available in 5.7x28mm. As far as Ammo cost. The 4.6 appears to be selling at $.90 a round while the 5.7 averages $1.00 a round, not a substantial enough difference to justify the design and development costs. |

Technically both the 5.7 and 4.6 are now "NATO Adopted", per marketing BS. Although I think in reality they added a STANAG for both. No NATO forces in large masses magically just "adopted" them overnight as some of the articles make you to believe. The documentation I've read said that no 4.6 handgun was released because the ballistics simply aren't there with the barrel as short as it is. People ask constantly for a "compact" 5.7, and you simply just lose out on capacity and even ballistics. Right now the Rock's 4.6 vs 4.75" FSN barrel, my testing is showing loses of 20-70+ fps per load.. |

Yep, didn't look hard enough when I bought mine. Trying to buy on a phone + old eyes + trying to get an optics ready before they sold out and I didn't see the no threaded barrel.
Would buy one as a separate item. |

I've seen it mentioned that there were plans to make 5.7 ammo from PSA. Any updates on when we can expect to see it (ballpark) and what types of rounds? Just plinking stuff or defense and subs? I'm looking at picking up some ammo but I'll wait if you guys have some stuff coming to market.

I just got my optics ready slide and also installed a Holosun 507K. I can verify Paul’s ( on the PSA Discussion ) findings that the Holosun M4x8mm mounting screws are slightly long and will press on the part that sits just below the mounting holes if tightened down securely which will cause ejection problems ). Cutting the screws to a 7.1mm length allows them to lock down at the factory recommend 15 inch pounds without binding.
I purchased a wire stripper from Amazon that included an M4 screw cutter so as not to damage the threads ( 8PK-CT009 Multi-Purpose Pliers Crimping Tool Metric Size Wire Cutter Cable Stripper ). Expensive but didn’t want to damage the threads since I couldn’t find any replacement M4 screws that had the same size head ( small countersunk head using a T10 Torx bit ) the standard size torx bit for an M4 screw is a T20 which results in a larger head which doesn’t fit flush in the 507K. FYI: the separate optics ready slide came without any of the optics cutout plates installed, They were in a separate small plastic bag which also should have contained the 2 required mounting screws. Mine only had 1 screw. Since I was mounting the 507K which came with it’s own screws and didn’t need the adapter plates it wasn’t a big deal. However, if you weren’t going to mount an optic right away or needed to use one of the adapter plates it would have created a PITA. I suggest that PSA install the blank filler plate on the slide before shipping and just include the 2 adapter plates in the parts bag so as to not create the possibility of a similar error. |

Great workaround to buying the M4 screw cutter. For me, with older eyes and less fine motor skills, the 0.7 thread size is so fine I didn’t feel comfortable trying to repair the first few threads and since the screw cutter will recut the front threads when you unscrew the screw after it’s cut, the $20 cost was relatively minor compared to the cost of the optics ready slide and 507K.

My 1911 (obviously) has a break that's more crisp and a shorter pull to the break. I don't dislike the Rock's trigger pull, but I guess I was expecting it to be lighter/more Glock-like....for whatever reason. ETA: this is only from a few dozen pulls of dry fire. We'll see if live fire makes it feel any different. |

I guess Id go with glocklike but you go way back almost to the frame and it breaks just before contacting the rear. I dont dislike it and if anything it will likely be pretty good when I get some rounds through it tomorrow. It reminds me of a few match setups with the trigger tuned to break with minimal overtravel...but with a glock and being polymer. I'll try to report back with some findings tomorrow.

They said they don't have a mold gun and their supplier doesn't have one either. I offered up my ROCK, but they said they don't make molds themselves so we're SOL unless we can confirm it's a FiveseveN holster that County804 use or someone wants to take a chance. |

A Chuckwalla for the same RMR sporting G17 sans weapon light also held the ROCK without light. A happy discovery before I bought another holster. |

I've found that my Phlster Floodlight X300U holster takes my Rock as I believe it indexes off the light vs the gun.
I only got to put 50 rounds through my gun the other day but I dropped on a 507K with the mounting screws from my SS Cr920 and they worked great. I believe Shadow systems sells a screw pack though I could be wrong. They dropped in perfectly without bottoming out and are very well made. The Rock is accurate and perfect reliability so far, though that is a very small sample size. More impressive to me was consistently smacking a 4" rifle popper from 50 yds without much holdoff, with barely any recoil, and 23 rounds on tap. While some get crappy about the caliber I think theres something to be said for being able to be bored while shooting at that range. I need to spend more time with it but it is accurate from what I saw on its first outing. I am going to try to make it out to a gel shoot next month so I will try to see how it does. I measured the trigger at 8ish lbs on the break. I previously stated it felt light but I think maybe its just because it breaks so far back that it feels lighter than that. |

You’re probably right concerning light bearing holsters indexing off the light instead of the gun. The Chuckwalla is just a friction fit with no light, but the ROCK is sorta kinda G17 sized and shaped so it’s probably just close enough to work as I found out last night. A holster that hooks or holds onto the trigger guard might not work, but I don’t have one to try. |

I’ve installed a Holosun 507K X2 and a Viridian X5L ( Green ) on my Optics Ready Rock Slide. It fits identically in my Garret Silent Thunder OWB Maverick as my FN Five Seven also with a Holosun 507K X2 and Viridian C5L green laser light. The Maverick was ordered for the Five Seven which has the MRD mounted on the slide using the DT-CAOS mount. It was ordered and produced before I ordered the MRD Mount but still fits the slide with MRD and the Laser Light as if it was made for it. I later ordered another with the MRD option and it is virtually identical to the first one. |

Garrett makes my favorite holsters. The leather lined kydex grips the weapon firmly ( you can adjust the retention ) but allows for a smooth and quiet draw. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for and their delivery and customer service is top notch.

Finally got out to the range a couple hours ago with 5 mags of handloads using the below data:
1x fired FNH brass Winchester Auto Comp 5.4gr Rem 7.5 SRP Hornady 40gr VMAX OAL 1.585" This load gives me ~100fps over FNH SS197 in my SBR’d PS90, for reference, though I didn’t get velocity data in the ROCK today. Started out unsuppressed and with an SF X300 and Holosun 508T. After 10rds of total failure to eject I removed the 508T and put some more oil on the rails. After a few more hand ejected rounds I started getting solid ejection 10-15’ to the 3:30 I put the 508T back on and a fresh mag and after a couple hand ejected rounds it started running again. Put my recored Gemtech SFN-57 on along with another full mag and, again, after a few hand ejected rounds it ran until time to reload. Another full mag and a few more hand ejected pieces of fired brass and the last 20 cycled just fine. Looks like the mags are tight or the gun needs some break in to cycle with a full mag and I might run them at 20 for the next 100rds through the gun. I also learned I’ll need to either put some plumbers tape on the barrel threads or be sure to check the can after each mag as I ended up keyholing most of the last mag and not noticing until I walked up to the target when cleaning up, haha. A tiny ding in the end of the can and a few pieces of jacket came out of the can when I got it home. Plan to break it apart tomorrow to clean and see if any baffles got kissed. All in all, I’m happy with it. Also tried the pistol without the light in a old G17 Serpa holster I haven’t used in years and it locked up nice and tight, so add another compatible holster to the mix. This is a combo of zeroing the 508T, doing some failure drills, and also testing out my AKSU with Wolverine suppressor, so don’t look for groups or an accuracy assessment from the target. Today was about zeroing the optic and then running rounds through them. You can see keyholes though.  Attached File |

Just got my 507 mounted and run a few rounds through my threaded barrel.
This thing is sweet. I'm proud for psa to have pulled this off! All four of my mags hold 24 rounds naturally. |

My recommendation has always been under 1.2-1.3oz. 1.6 oz on say the SRO might be the limit. Definitely can't use super heavy optics if you want to run subs. |

I’m not planning to run subs in this, but I could see swapping the 508T to my 22/45 and putting the Gen 2 RMR on the ROCK to save some weight in the future if the failure to eject with a full mag continues. Thanks for the weights you’ve found to be make or break. |
