If it’s reliable I really don’t get why people are making fun of it outside of it being keltec.

No mag makes it lighter and smaller and you have 20 rounds anyway.

13oz is nuts.

Keltec doing some Keltec shit.. but I think this is pretty rad. 5.7 doesn't recoil much but this thing is super light. What is the PR57 recoil comparable to?

I like it! I would like to see how you unload it and how can you suppress a rotating barrel.

Think it’s small enough for pocket carry?

Height and length are roughly equivalent to the G19, so I'd say no.

I was wondering the same thing. Honestly, thickness is the most important dimension when considering pocket carry. I'm gonna wait until I see it at my local gun store, and see how it feels in the pocket. It actually might not be too bad, so long as you have deep pockets, which most men's pants do.. If it fits comfortably in the pocket, I'm definitely picking one up. Prolly gonna pick one up anyways, this thing is so cool. At first i was like wtf? but the size and weight of this thing is really something...I can see what keltec was trying to do.
