I wanted to buy a Kel-Tec in .22WMR and my FFL dealer said to forget it - the trigger mechanism is all plastic and will wear out very quickly with no remedy. Plus it’s over priced.

Opinion: great to plink so one has familiarity with what will be a home defense pistol; using CCI hollow=point ammo, it is reliable, quite deadly, and easy to handle; do not recommend using foreign 22wmr because of harder primer strikes required.

Got one, $380 on second thousand rounds using A22 from CCI. Shoots great no feeding issues which can arise with the 22Mag. Going to put the reflex sight on it as a church gun.

Kel-Tec PMR30 - Great for Plinking

- and not much else.

The PMR-30 is fine for plinking, but never, NEVER trust your life on rimfire ammunition if you have any other option.

And at the cost and size of the PMR-30, you have lots of other options.

Also, the PMR-30 has issues with keyholing when using certain ammunition with specific weight bullets. Kel-Tec issued a voluntary recall barrel replacement for one with a higher twist rate which reduced, but did not eliminate, the keyholing problem.

The "plastic trigger" will last just fine. The shrouded hammer and sear, which are the wear surfaces, are metal.

And if you like the PMR-30, you'll love the carbine version CMR-30. Takes the same magazines.

Your story has one major inaccuracy. The PMR 30 is NOT a .22 caliber it is a .22 WMR that is a huge difference.

Now for the BIG news from the Shot Show January 23rd.
