Retirees were our #1 source of customers, and they would often come in looking for a self-defense pistol. We&#8217;d start off with something like a Glock 19 or something similar, but operating the slide would prove to be too much for most elderly hands. We&#8217;d then move to revolvers, but the 10+ pound trigger pulls on those guns were just too much. That\u2019s when I would walk them over to take a look at the KelTec PMR-30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t get me wrong, the PMR-30 is a great little gun for almost everyone. It\u2019s lightweight (extremely lightweight), has a great trigger, is fun to shoot, doesn\u2019t really recoil, and packs a walloping 30 rounds in each magazine. What\u2019s not to love about a gun like that? All those features make the Kel-Tec PMR-30 a great defensive pistol for people who cannot safely operate more conventional pistols. More than that, though, out of all the guns I\u2019ve ever shot, it\u2019s probably my favorite gun to take to the range. Let me explain why.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/q34gllhqap.jsonp\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_q34gllhqap videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" title=\"KelTec PMR-30 pistol review\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/q34gllhqap\/swatch\" alt=\"A video review of the KelTec PMR-30 pistol\" width=\"100\" height=\"56\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KelTec PMR-30 Review: First Impressions<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2210\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2210\" class=\"wp-image-2210 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"PMR-30 .22 magnum\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm-627x418.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_front_sm.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">30 round magazine, .22 Magnum bark, lightweight, great trigger. Not a bad set of features&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PMR-30 is a great example of Kel-Tec\u2019s innovative approach to firearms. The pistol is extremely light. Unloaded, it weighs less than a pound, just 14 ounces. In fact, a fully loaded PMR-30 with an additional loaded 30 round magazine weighs about the same as an unloaded Glock 19. One of the reasons for this light weight is that the gun makes extensive use of polymers, including portions of the slide. The trigger is also light, breaking at only 3.5 pounds in our tests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a rimmed cartridge like .22 Magnum to work in a magazine-fed semi automatic pistol can be a challenge. The rimmed edge of each cartridge can get stacked up against each other, and that leads to a failure to feed malfunction. The PMR30 gets around this issue by building a feed guide into the magazine that allows the rounds to stack properly inside. Speaking of those magazines, while it\u2019s true they can hold 30 rounds, getting that many loaded is a challenge. The spring that feeds each round up to the firing chamber inside the PMR30 is very strong. Getting new rounds into the magazine gets progressively more difficult, putting an effective cap of 20 or so rounds in a magazine until those springs loosen up over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The innovation inside the Kel-Tec PMR-30 doesn\u2019t stop with its magazine and what it\u2019s made from. The muzzle energy of .22 Magnum ammunition can vary widely, which means the action of the PMR30 needs to be able to work reliably with everything from low-power plinking rounds to high-strength hunting and personal defense ammo. The PMR30 uses a unique hybrid action system that allows it to run smoothly with all sorts of .22 Magnum ammo.\u00a0 With higher-\u00adpressure loads, the barrel of the pistol moves slightly rearward with the slide like a traditional locked-breech action. When firing lower-\u00adpressure loads, the PMR-\u00ad30 acts similar to blowback firearms, and the barrel does not move while the slide cycles the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Range Impressions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PMR30&#8217;s controls are well-laid out and placed where you expect them to be, with one exception. The extended length of the .22 Magnum cartridge compared to, say, 9mm means that the magazine needs to be longer back-to-front than the magazine for most pistols. This, in turn, means that the grip needs to be longer back to front than most handguns. That\u2019s where things get weird.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2209\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2209\" class=\"wp-image-2209 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"Pmr-30 magazine release\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-1536x1056.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-610x419.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-1080x743.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel-627x431.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/keltec_heel.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The magazine release for the PMR-30 is in butt, a feature commonly found on European pistols.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The grip on the KelTec PMR30 is unlike the grip on any pistol you\u2019ve ever shot. Because of the length of a .22 Magnum round, it\u2019s very long back to front. This length makes it almost impossible to wrap your fingers around the grip like you would a more conventional pistol. Surprisingly, the large grip on this gun doesn\u2019t really affect your accuracy, due to the fact that .22 Magnum has very little recoil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let\u2019s face it, while .22 Magnum is an unusual choice for a semi-automatic pistol, it actually makes a lot of sense. The ammunition is easy to find, inexpensive to shoot, and is available in a wide variety of different bullet types. It is also a surprisingly effective self-defense caliber. There are several different JHP rounds available in .22 magnum, with muzzle energies that place them right in-between .22LR and 9mm. The bottom line is, I wouldn\u2019t feel out-gunned if I carried a PMR-30 with me on a walk through the woods, or if I used it in my home as a self-defense gun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accuracy\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To test the accuracy of the KelTec PMR-30, we fired four five-shot groups of two different kinds of .22 Magnum ammunition at a target 15 yards away. We also recorded the average muzzle velocity for each shot using a Pro Chrony chronograph stationed five feet away from the muzzle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KelTech PMR-30 Review &#8211; Test results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/22-wmr-cci-maxi-mag-40-grain-tmj-0023-2000-rounds\"><b>CCI MAXI-X 40 GRAIN FMJ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Group Size: 1.58 inches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum Group Size: 1.13 inches<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum Group Size: 1.88 inches<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Velocity: 1257 fps<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/22-wmr-1-cci-vmax-30-grain-jhp-50\"><b>CCI V-MAX 30 GRAIN JHP\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Group Size: 1.77 inches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum Group Size: 1.30 inches<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum Group Size: 2.36 inches<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Velocity: 1540 fps<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2211\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2211\" class=\"wp-image-2211 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Kel-Tec PMR-30 \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm-627x418.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/pmr30_sm.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not the prettiest pistol in the world, but maybe one of the most-fun to shoot<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By way of comparison, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/glock-48-compact-pistol-review\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a recent test of the Glock 48<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a popular compact 9mm defensive pistol, turned in an average group size of 2.83 inches. We found in this review, the KelTec PMR-30 can shoot, and shoot well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reliability\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we come to the Achilles Heel of this gun. For a variety of reasons, rimfire ammunition is not as reliable in a semiautomatic pistol as centerfire ammunition. Rimfire ammunition has a rim around the edge of the cartridge that holds the primer compound. The rims of each cartridge can stack on top of each other inside of a magazine. This in turn can cause failures to feed when shooting your gun. Also, in my experience, the priming compound along the edge of a round of rimfire ammunition is much less reliable than the primer in the middle of a round of centerfire ammo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one-two punch means that the Kel-Tec PMR-30 is just not as reliable as a semi-automatic pistol that uses a centerfire round like 9mm. I shot 250 rounds of ammunition through this gun and had 6 failures to feed. This means that I had a reliability issue with the PMR-30 around every 50 rounds or so. This may seem bad (and if I\u2019m honest, it is), but it is mitigated by two things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gun is so much fun to shoot. I am willing to put up with an occasional hiccup if the gun is putting an ear-to-ear grin on my face.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One failure every 50 rounds (-ish) translates into almost two full magazines of ammunition headed downrange without a hitch. Let\u2019s do a little math here: 50 rounds of 30 grain JHP rounds equal about 3.42 ounces of lead. At an average speed of 1540 feet per second, that is 7,900 foot pounds worth of ouch headed towards the target.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap-up<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would I recommend the KelTec PMR-30? Yes, I would. It\u2019s a great gun for three specific kinds of gun owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first is people who are looking for a lightweight gun to carry while hiking or backpacking. The PMR-30 is a bit too big for everyday concealed carry, but for states where open carry is allowed in the great outdoors, it would make a great <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kit_gun\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kit gun<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second group is people who don\u2019t have the physical strength to manipulate a more-normal pistol or revolver. The trigger on the PMR-30 is feather-light and the slide is also very easy to operate. These two features, plus the easy recoil of the .22 Magnum round, means it\u2019s a great gun for people who might have less strength than the average gun owner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a great range gun. With its loud bark, flat recoil, and large capacity magazine, you\u2019ll want to shoot it for hours and hours on end. As it makes about the same amount of noise as a centerfire pistol, it can also serve as an intermediate step for newer shooters. A PMR-30 lets them shoot something that is between the low recoil and low noise of .22LR pistol, and the heavier recoil and louder sound of, say, a Glock 19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The KelTec PMR-30 is an overlooked gem of a gun. It may be a niche gun, but shooting it will bring a smile to your face. Yes, there is a time to get serious about training and shoulder the burden of mastering pistol marksmanship, but there is also a time for shooting for the love of shooting. That is the time for a Kel-Tec PMR-30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Fun Gun Time: KelTec PMR-30 Review I used to work in a gun store that catered to an older clientele.
