Oh my. This looks promising...
Oh ho ho ho! Could it be...?
It could!
It is!
The PMR-30 from Kel-Tec! I have found a way to successfully turn
It's larger than I expected, both in barrel length and grip size.
It's very thin, though, and quite light. About 90% of it is glass-reinforced nylon.
Sexy fiber-optic sights.
Well, I know what I'll be doing over Labor Day. A more in-depth review will follow soon after. I plan to have my mother shoot this as well, so as to provide that critical over-65 demographic.
My guy at the gun store, Kirk, was very interested in this. He's sold two PMR-30s, but has never had the chance to shoot one, so of course I invited him along. Not only will that provide me with a nice spectrum of reviewers, but it's always a good thing to have a gun store guy as a friend.
Pew pew pew.
Congrats. I've been told that is a good little pistol. I'm curious to see how it works for you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Have fun at the range.
ReplyDelete22 mag is a fun round. Can it shoot 22lr? I don't think it can, but that would make for even cheaper plinking.
Definitely not in the magazine. Might work by breech-loading, but honestly, I do NOT want to risk it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, unless the manual says a type of cartridge is good to use best not to risk it.
ReplyDeleteSure, the 22lr is less powerful but... why take a risk.
Very very jealous been trying to buy one for 6 months now cant seem to get one all the way to Md cant wait for a reveiw
ReplyDeleteDerp. I hadn't realized you were asking what the manual says!
ReplyDeleteIt states unequivocally that you should only use .22 WMR in the pistol, and nothing else. It then goes on to explain which ammunition works best, and which to avoid.
There are a total of six paragraphs devoted just to ammunition do's and don'ts.
Good luck with that... last I saw, Maryland had a 20-round limit on magazines.

.22WMR won't work, the brass is too long, duh. You could put a shim in the mag, but the action process length (is there a technical term? Recoil bolt travel?) would end up with stovepipe jams every third round.
ReplyDeleteLove the sexy background. You know the way into an engineer's heart, you minx you. 'Scuse me, I'll be at my drawing board.
Wait - you get people sending you guns to review? I am so jealous!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, well done. I look forwarding to seeing what you think. My wife has a NAA Mini, the single action revolvers with cylinders for both .22LR and .22WMR. .22 Magnum is an impressive little round.
the one they sell in md have a 5 round magazine dont know how that works
ReplyDeleteFIVE ROUNDS? What the heck is the point, then?
ReplyDeleteWell, you have successfully trumped me - I have never managed to turn my nonsense into firearms, despite companies assuring me I had. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWell, it helps that:
ReplyDelete1) I've already bought a Kel-Tec and reviewed it favorably;
2) I am a Floridian, like them; and
3) I know their principal photographer and he speaks well of me. :)
I've not owned one but one of the colleagues has several and swears by them. Enjoy! Especially the sexy sights.
ReplyDeleteWould like to see a review when you have time. I have been trying to purchase one for some time now. Unable to find some one who has one to shoot. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks. Glen
