Now I can't speak for other PMR's, I hadn't held one or even seen one in person until I got this, no dealer around here can get them. It feels like a toy from the weight, but once you work the slide or pop a few off, you realize it's not a toy for sure! Only failure I could get was intentionally limp wristing the crap out of it. But it actually fed a few while limp wristing, more tolerant than I expected. I'm not saying I'd go to war with this but for a range/pack gun/occasional carry, I'd feel pretty good about it, I need more rounds through it for a for a good opinion, just not really possible at this point

#2. Mag release could be easily hit while carrying or dropping but it's a nescesity of the design, although I would love a thicker grip which would probably allow room for a conventional button

UPDATE: with further shooting, I found I can hit my 75 yard (16") gong consistently, only other handgun I've been able to do that with is my S&W 686, so accuracy (or just shoot-ability) wise I'm impressed, haven't shot paper though. I used a 6 o'clock hold all the way out to 75 with this gun.

Flash and blast are impressive, the flash is enough that just as the sun was completely hidden on the horizon, but still bright enough to see, I was almost blinded for a second and couldn't see where I was hitting

I'm probably terrible at this so feel free to ask questions I left unanswered

My Gen 2 or whatever you call the lastest revision of them, over 300 rounds, I had 1 failure to extract a 28gr load. This thing loves 40gr/50gr loads. My friend on the other hand, got one when they first came out. It went to Kel-Tec 3 times for repair, and it's still sitting broken in his safe.
