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.

Yeah, they look interesting. One factor limiting how soon they will be importable to Canada is whether they will be available with 10 round mags.

I thought I read that Kel-tec were not Canadian-friendly. I'd be happy to hear otherwise though. I'd like to eventually pick up the Kel-tec RFB.

Vault Distributor rep was very optimistic we'd see them.

Correct me if I am wrong (and it's happened before) but I thought it being rimfire gets it a pass on the 10rd limit.

thats rimfire rifle your thinking not pistol

and is it not possible to rivet the mags to 10rnds (or have them riveted south or the border)

 

[Until the Angels Fall]

I want one too but with only a 10 rounds mag instead of a 30 round one makes it more depressing then normal

Crap.....

Had my hopes up there for a second about the mag capacity...
