Kel Tec PMR 30 Opinions?

[Subystomper]

Any one have one yet? I used to have some of the Grendel P 30's and they worked preetty good most of the time and I have had a few different Kel Tecs that worked with no problems. Not vary many have made a 22 Mag semi auto and I wonder how they do? Thanks, John

My opinion is that I need one of those, so that I might experience additional enjoyment at the range!

I got one of the first PMR30s that hit Fort Wayne about 7 months ago. Fired and fed flawlessly until about 3 weeks ago. The trigger would click but the internal hammer wouldn't drop. I called Kec-Tec and when they ran my serial number, they said to ship it back. 3 weeks later I got it back. They replaced the slide, worked on the chamber, polished the feed ramp and replaced all the components in the lower unit. They also stated they fit and polished the new parts in the lower. They fired 90 test rounds and shipped it back.

I understand that there were some issues with the first production units, but all the newer pistols are fine. I haven't taken it out to test fire it yet, but looking forward to squeezing off some rounds soon. The pistol is very loud and shoots fireballs out the muzzle. I have also gotten a little unburnt powder blown back in my face, but nothing serious. The sights are great and the trigger is crisp, light and smooth. The pistol is light and fits well in my Fobus FN Five-Seven holster.

I watched some of the Utube videos and it looks a lot like the Grendel p-30 and jammed several times like the Grendel. Let me know if ya shoot it and it still has the same problems? Thanks, John

I really want one and was going to get one but all the functional issues I've read about has made me hesitant. I think I'm going to wait a year or so to see if Kel-tec can iron out the bugs.

The bugs are already ironed out with the new ones.

Perhaps. I've still read of some problems here and there with the new ones and repaired ones. I will still probably get one eventually though. Still in wait-and-see mode for now.

Downside of my early prodution model? https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/handguns/120766-review_kel_tec_pmr_30_a.html Mine's been perfect for 500+ rounds since I got it back from KelTec.

S.W.A.T. magazine has a article on it in this issue. Has a good write up
I've been thinking about getting one.
