Anybody here have one? The thought of a 30 round double stack in .22 mag, sounds like the coolest thing to come along since sliced bread.
Anyway, if you own one, please let me know your like's/dislike's on this pistol.

I don't own one but I was about to buy one once when I finally saw one in person at a store. The shape/contour of the handle was just so awkward to me that it was a total turn off. I'm real big on judging a gun initially on how it feels and this one just didn't pass the test for me.
I too thought the idea of the gun was awesome.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

I have one had two at one time once. love it other than a few issues like slide staying open with 1 round in mag. Mine is super accurate and shoots just about any ammo i get for it. its worth every bite of the 400 i gave for it new at cheaper than dirt

Well everything was great with my PMR 30 until this weekend the gun blow apart in my face slide release hit me in fore head. It appears that the slide did not lock up all the way or the 22 mag case blow apart as the back of the case was ripped off.

Seem like Keltecs quality control has gone down as of late. My dad has had a 380 there for months now waiting to get fixed. It maljunctioned nearly every round, then my buddy bought the folding 40 cal carbine and its been a jammomatic as well.

I had half been thinking about one in 9 glock mag, but keltecs QC worried me Keltec has some neat looking stuff but I always hear horror stories

I read an article or two on the PMR30 which referenced that Kel-Tec had stopped manufacturing the gun due to slide/barrel issues and had planned to resume manufacturing once the problems were corrected.

I had the little 32 blow on me on the second magazine so I quit Keltec pronto.
Life is too short to be dealing with a piece of crap gun company.
You would be much better off doing the paperwork and creating an SBR out of a ruger Charger sitting in a 10/22 stock using the BX25 magazine.

i have a pmr 30 and i love it no issues at all so far, i like the feel in my hand and the gun is extremely light even when fully loaded. My wife also likes it, Low Recoil
its accurate and holds 30 rounds in the clip, I've been able to rapid fire them out as fast as i can pull the trigger and decently stay on target.
I have been using the 50 grain Federal Game Shock JHP there is a short list of recomended ammo that comes with the gun and they advise you to only use certian types.
I bought it because its a 30 round 22 pistol and its main use will just be plinking hopefully i wont experiance any issues like reaper had
