This and Kel-Tec’s RMR-30 would make a great pistol/carbine combo. Same ammo, same magazines.

Seeing one of these is about as rare as seeing an Iberian Lynx.

I once owned AMT .22 mag semiauto pistol and considered a Kel-tec, but then I saw the .22 TCM 1911 and had to have one too fill that nich. Of course the ammo is higher, but I am a reloader and that will keep the cost down. It has way more power than the .22 Mag and the recoil is very mild.

Early examples exhibited a lot of keyholing. Keltec changed the barrel’s rifling twist, and that cured most of it, but it is still picky about which ammo it shoots straight.

Friend, a seasoned shooter and collector, was able to get one after a short wait. After several range sessions and numerous jams, he sold it (a very rare thing for him to do with any gun). As they say, “All that glitters is not gold!” and “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

Really, what I see here is the future of 3D printed handguns and rifles.

Most shots fell into a 2 inch ragged hole at ten yards. That is incredible.

Two inches low two inch group at TEN YARDS WHAT A JOKE.

That just sucks the shooter is a piss poor shot or the pistol is just inaccurate.

I have many handguns that well make just over caliber size holes at 10 yards. Hot cold or other wise.

After seeing that group looks to me just the same old Kel-Tec crap they have made for years.

I can shoot better than that too and have weapons that are more accurate than I am. But I won't dismiss out-of-hand a weapon that either needs to have the sights adjusted, up and a tad to the left, or may have been fired by someone other than Annie Oakley. There are target pistols and there are utility pistols. A good target pistol starts out more expensive than others and then it may need further "adjustments" to tune it to the shooter. There are hot-shots and there are average shooters.

2 inches at 10 yards doesn't even fall into the utility pistol range. One could easy miss a squirrel or rabbit even being dead on. All my 22 pistol can easily kill small game out past 25.

Kel-Tec come up with some great ideas but never seem to get them just right.

Before I even read this article I had a dream where several attackers were attempting to kill me at home, they prevented me from gaining access to my main weapons and all I had was a Ruger .22 pistol that had about only 5-6 .22LR bullets in it, but in my dream I was shooting back at one baddy in the dark shadows aiming for his head, I think I struck at least twice and then went after the second, but he was hightaing it out when he saw his partner going down.

So now I am awake and I see this pistol, man would I love to have one! Quantity is awesome!

squirrel or rabbit

Squirrels and rabbits are why .410 and other small size shot guns are available. If you're hunting rabbits with a .22 it isn't because you're hungry.

Man is the only animal who hunts on a full stomach.
