“The .22 Mag ammo is meant for a rifle with a longer barrel. That means when you fire the .22 Mag ammo out of the shorter handgun barrel, there is a lot of residual carbon that burns off when you shoot. That means if you shoot this gun towards the evening hours, or in low-light situations, you’ll see a big muzzle flash of burning carbon. That ALSO means, you need to maintain the cleanliness of your PMR30 because of the potential for carbon residue to build up and impact performance during the lifetime of the gun.” So, functionality-wise, the gun works well, but because it shoots a rifle cartridge the potential for misfiring is there if you don’t keep the gun clean. VanPelt recommends shooting “higher quality,” more expensive ammunition. Another thing to consider? Kel-Tec recommends “heavier for caliber ammo” to ensure correct and reliable timing when firing the handgun. So, is the Kel-Tec PMR30 Handgun for you? The answer, like almost all genuine answers, is: It depends. If you’re looking for a high capacity, reliable and accurate handgun capable of very high velocity while maintaining accuracy on target, then the PMR30 might be right for you. As a personal defense weapon, this gun checks the right boxes, especially if you are looking for a lightweight option for hound hunting or as an added safety measure while bowhunting.
