Does anyone on these boards own a PMR 30? Ive seen a few reviews on other forums and some Youtube vids but cant get a straight up good review.

I called around town and the one guy a deal with said hes had them on order for six months and hasnt received one. WTF?

I bought one in October...the gun shop said they get them in quite often. I live in PA and paid $289 for mine. I haven't had the time to fire it yet, but when I do I will be comparing it to my FN FsN

Nice, if i can find one for that price ill be all over it. 22 mag is a stout little round but wont compare to the FNS as far as energey goes.

Let us know how accurate that PMR 30 is.

local shop here had a few of the early ones, all of them jammed and had parts flying off of them, bad batch?

Not to sound like a KT fanboy, but your statement is a bit vague. With KT producing what they can handle without any inventory...I find it hard to believe that any one gun shop had "a few" PMRs as they are still tough to locate in large numbers.

this shop is usually the number one retailer in the country, maybe that had something to do with it? give them a call, ask for Jonathan, Im sure they would pass the info on. 256 534 1000

While the prices quoted seem AWSOME. They can be had on Gunbroker for the 400's. Just sayin.

Some local shop has one PMR30. He wants something like $450

I want one, but I'm not going to pay the inflated prices that some folks want online. I'll wait till production meets the demand and prices stabilize some.

I work at a shop that has had four PMR 30's. We got one about a month ago and three last week. I cannot believe how light they are.

I got mine today––thin & light! Can't wait to shoot it! It's pretty tough to get the last 5 rounds in the mag––and they recommend CCI MaxiMags––but also Winchester Super-X, which is what I'm going to try as that's my preferred .22 Mag.

I agree with you Dave...the PMR are ultra light. I don't like how the pistol grip feels compared to the RFB, but I'll get over it. Now, I just need to get out and test it against my FsN.

Handled one at a show today. Very, very light, like a plastic Airsoft gun. The grip was fairly thin but quite wide, front-to-back. The slide, due to the molded-in grasping ribs, seemed to be challenging to get a good grip on.

Trigger was excellent, possibly the best Kel-tec trigger I've seen yet.

That was a smokin' price! I haven't found a PMR-30 in any of the local gun shops in my area. I did see two at a gun show last month and they were both over $450.
I'd pick one up to plink with if could actually find one under $300. I'm also a suppressor nut - so the rumored "threaded barrel" version would really get my attention.
