Now the wait begins!
I REALLY can’t wait to try it out In 5.7 handguns I’ve had/have FN USG FN MK II. Ruger 57 (upgraded with the full F5 kit, and TANDEMKROSS trigger) I’m going to sell this! ***UPDATE*** Well I received my FN 5.7 MK III today. I still need to order an electronic sight for it. As for my thoughts…I think FN hit it out of the park with this. It’s a COMPLETE redesign. The magazines APPEAR to be interchangeable with the MK II. The photo of the pistol is with one of the two suppled magazines. The second photo is with a MK II magazines. I won’t know for sure until I get it on the range.

I have a 5-7 and a PS90. Luckily I bought about 4,000 rounds of ammo several years ago.
I am shocked at the ammo prices for 5.7x28mm |

You will like it.
I have a PS90 and HAD a gen 1 5.7 pistol but sold it off to pick up a 1911. Would love to have a gen 2 or 3 5.7 but have not found a used one at a decent price. Don't buy new guns anymore, don't buy new cars either

Very nice!
I've had a MKI and MKII but sold them both, just couldn't get used to the looks of it. I currently have the Ruger 57 and I like it better but I still think it's a cheap feeling pistol. I do however really like the MKIII and it's ability to be fitted with a MRDS from the factory, I'll probably get this one when I can get my hands on it. |

How’s the gun holding up? Do you have a round count on it yet?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zerlak: Curious, why switch to the PSA Rock? Prefer it over the MK III? It IMHO feels better in my hand, I kept the FN so this really doesn’t apply, but it’s MUCH cheaper. This chart my help explain my decision…. Yep, here is a copy of a post I made comparing 5.7 pistols S&W PROS Best trigger pull by far Slimmest Grip Lowest Recoil Easy to install a Dot Sight (RMRc footprint) Easy to use safety Holds 22 rounds in the magazine CONS Jamming issue!!!!! Probably Magazine Related FIXED Will not feed Federal American Eagle reliability (ammo is CRAP, manufactured by Fiocchi) Some shooters consider the grip uncomfortable PSA Rock PROS Relatively Inexpensive (Each one of mine was $599 SHIPPED w/10 magazines) Available in colors Low Recoil Comfortable grip (more so than the S&W) Has palm swells Holds 23 rounds in the magazine Runs reliably Easy to install a Dot Sight RMRc footprint Uses Glock 17 sights CONS You MUST shorten the HOLOSUN screws NO Safety available Ruger 57 PROS BEST looking Will take PSA Rock magazines Sights are decent Magazine holds 20 rounds GREAT Safety CONS ABSOLUTELY the WORST magazine release of ALL, even if you install the extended release (I’ve since installed the Ruger 5.7 PC magazine release, you push down on it NOT in. It’s a HUGE IMPROVEMENT) The Dot Sight mounts on TOP of the slide Easily the WORST 5.7 pistol on the market!!! There are REPUTABLE reports that Ruger left a pin out of the trigger group with can jam the gun up…..NO FIX IN SIGHT FN MK II PROS DEAD ASS RELIABLE Magazine holds 20 rounds Has a Safety Easy takedown First readily available 5.7 pistol CONS HARD to mound a Dot sight Replacement sights are EXPENSIVE SOME shooters dislike the Safety position FN MK III MRD PROS Easy to mount a DOT sight (RMR footprint)| If you liked the FN MK II, you will LOVE the MK III DEAD ASS RELIABLE Has a Safety Easy Takedown You can use MK II magazines with a SLIGHT modification CONS Dated design SOME shooters dislike the Safety position My collection…

How would you describe the MK3 trigger compared to the M&P 5.7 or just a Glock trigger?
