I've been on a 2-year hunt for the Kel Tec PMR 30. I really just wanted it as a practice gun at first. I mean who can complain about an extremely lightweight gun, that holds 30 rounds of 22 magnum? Plus, I think I'm becoming a fan of the Kel Tec brand. The PMR 30 would be my second owned firearm from Kel Tec. My first is actually being processed by budsgunshop.com and should be on it's way to my FFL dealer by tomorrow. So let us get back to this pistol and all it's worth. Some people are under the belief that a .22 caliber round is not effective. I was just reading an article about a man who defended his home from an invasion with a .22 caliber pistol. One of the suspects succumbed to his injuries and passed. You can read the story for yourself on gunsandammo.com.
The PMR 30 doesn't shoot your average .22 round, but it does shoot the .22 magnum round. The average 22LR is around 1200-1300 fps, while the average .22 Mag is about 2000-2100 fps. That means if you shoot a .22 mag in a 6 inch barreled handgun, it will have the same velocity as a .22LR shot in a rifle. Imagine that much power within a gun weighed at 0.85oz empty and 1.226lbs loaded. Now, remember the magazine of this gun holds 30 rounds. That's just amazingly rare to find feature in any firearm ever made. This was the main factor in my decision to find one for my collection (I'm still searching). As you can see from the pictures, there are many ways to accessorize your PMR.
Let's take a look at everyone's favorite gun page on youtube Hickok45. He does a great review on the kel tec PMR 30. Enjoy!
