The PMR-30 is a light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .22Magnum cartridge (.22WMR). The PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. It uses a double stack magazine of a new design that holds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol.

The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small game.

Slide and barrel are 4140 steel, frame is 7075 aluminum. Grip, slide cover, trigger, mag release, and safety levers are glass reinforced Nylon (Zytel), much like other Kel-Tec Pistols. Magazine is Also Zytel and holds 30 rounds, with round count ports. Other features include: dual opposing extractors for reliability, heel magazine release to aid in magazine retention, dovetailed aluminum front sight, Picatinny accessory rail under the barrel, Urethane recoil buffer, captive coaxial recoil springs. The barrel is fluted for light weight and effective heat dissipation. PMR30 disassembles for cleaning by removal of a single pin.

Edited my post with some specs.

Rumor has it that they might make a carbine version as well, but take that with a grain of salt.

Question: Is it legal to use 25 rounders (>10 basically) in a Ruger Charger pistol? Rifle magazines in a pistol?

Yes. Same as the 10 round LAR-15 pistol mags in AR-15's.

They had a carbine version of the previous version of the PMR-30, Grendel R31 iirc. Which actually looks like quite a cool gun.

Pass on that scope though.

Thought so about the LAR argument working the other way, just wanted to make sure. Thanks.
 
The following pics are Grendel mags, not PMR-30.

It will be interesting to see if the PMR-30 mags are any different.

Interesting. Hopefully they make 10 round mags.

They'll make it up here eventually. There will be a dealer out there that can pin them. My understanding is that the issue with the XDM is the mags are a tough design to pin. These mags should be easy.


Email sent to Questar.

any chance to see it here in canada soon ??

They are only expected to start shipping in Q2 2010 in the US. Also, keep in mind that the US has to approve them for export, Canada has to approve them for import, they need to be given an FRT# and Kel-Tec isn't a huge company, so production might not be high enough for the demand and if anything goes wrong, it could easily set back production for many months.

Any guesses to when they will come north of the 49th -if at all- is just that, a guess.

That being said... GIMME GIMME GIMME!
 
Fugly, yet attractive at the same time. Would consider one if they hit our market (assuming the price-point was in line). Obviously similar to the FN five-seven pistol, but I also see similarities to the automag in there as well.
