Thoughts on Kel Tec PMR 30?

[RickD]

Some coworkers were talking about semi autos in .22 magnum. The KelTec came up and I was wondering if anyone owns one, has shot one, or knows more about them? Who else makes a .22 mag pistol?

Thanks.

I was waiting to see if anyone else had chimed in, but since no one has, I'll reply . . . .

I've had a PMR-30 since shortly before last Thanksgiving. I've shot over 2,000 rounds through it. It has been sent back to Kel-Tec once for beginning to fail to feed after about 1,000 rounds. Since its return, it has performed flawlessly.

This is my initial range report:

This is my experience with Kel-Tec's warranty service:

In my last two trips to the range I have had absolutely no problems with this firearm. It has cycled and fired anything I put in it. I still load my magazines with only 25 rounds, mostly because two magazines split a box of 50 shells perfectly.

I am satisfied with my purchase, both in terms of value, and with respect to functionality. I bought it locally and paid much less than list, however, that gun shop had not been able to get any more the last time I stopped in there (a week or so ago).
