Magwa Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I evoked the law on myself, and bought one and have been shooting it for a week now this thing is nothing but pure fun.... 30 rounds of 22 mag.... comes with two 30 round mags and i got a extra because it was there... paid retail a bit over 350.00 OK the fun stuff, the gun weighs 13 oz's and a bit over 16oz's loaded in other words it is freeking light ,ambidextrous safety,, comes with a rail, it has awesome fiber optic sights even I can see both front and back sights with ease and in pre dawn or fading light they pop!... now function this is the perfect gun to be in a holster sewed to your bug out bag or back pack or day pack whatever it weighs nothing and if you can not get em with 30 rounds run fast.... it will be sewn to my hunting pack. So how does it work? very well I have fired 120 rounds through it and the only hiccup I had was a FTF the first round on some 40 year old Winchester 22 mag I got some cci's and they worked flawlessly,hardly any recoil but a fireball out the barrel will wake you up in the dark lol.... it is very easy to shoot and shoots where you point it , the mag release is on the butt kinda like a old school German pistol easy to reload, the loading of the mags takes a bit getting used to but is pretty straight forward if you have any question just ask but i would recommend this pistol to any hunter, fisherman in snake country , trapper, prepper etc....
Malig8r Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I like the pistol...just wish 22mag ammo wasn't so expensive. And you can't even reload for it...I agree though, it's a great backpacking pistol!

jtallen83 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Just noticed the price, pretty good deal, my LGS has two priced just a hair under $500!
Sisco Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 You convinced me. Its on my list. Another enabler.
Magwa Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks for the compliment.... you will love this thing...
ChaseFan9 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Lucky, I've wanted one of those ever since Kel-Tec announced it. I thought about getting a Five-seveN until I found out about the PMR-30. Where'd you find one for $350?

Stupid Clinton!I agree that I'd rather have the PMR-30 than the FN hornet launcher.
Magwa Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Posted October 20, 2015 Got mine at the grand opening of a new gun store .... just at the right place at the right time.... lucky I guess....
Robocop1051 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I really thought someone would've made a .22lr by now. I would love love love a pistol like this in .22lr Still a GREAT review! Awesome score. Edited October 20, 2015 by Robocop1051
planeflyer21 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 I really thought someone would've made a .22lr by now. I would love love love a pistol like this in .22lrI've wondered that myself.
Sisco Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 A local store had one for $675! Gonna wait.
Magwa Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 Yeah I would wait too that is BS and I would let the store owned know about it as well that is just plain Price gouging I hate that crap!
planeflyer21 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 You like carbines that take mags from the same pistol?http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/rifle/cmr-30

Sisco Posted May 29, 2016 Report Posted May 29, 2016 New guy next to the Beast. Little recoil, wild muzzle blast. Decently accurate, nice sights for old eyes. Will be a permanent arguement with my son who gets to shoot it.
Robocop1051 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Posted May 29, 2016 Have any of you tried chambering .22lr in that pistol? I'm curious if the round would even pick up in the mag.
Robocop1051 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Posted May 29, 2016 This is interesting.... looks like just a mag swap is in order. http://www.ammoland.com/2015/01/kel-tec-has-a-new-patent-for-a-33-round-22lr-magazine/#axzz49Qs22GWc
Sisco Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Read the article, haven't figured out if it would be a dedicated 22 LR or if all you would need is to swap mags. If a mag swap, that would be great! Talk about flexibility!
