It looks like a fun pistol, but I'm not so sure about this. |

It looks like a fun pistol, but I'm not so sure about this. Jeff Quinn is an ass-hat shill for one of the major distributers (Lipsey's or Davidsons). The reviews are a good read but not worth much as a recommendation. |
| You guys are over analyzing this it holds 30 rounds which is cool .22 WMR also cool and loud ready for suppressor also very cool only $300 full of win. I agree it may be pointless but its also the coolest pointless range toy you can buy I am defiantly getting one. |

Haven't fired one. Not the least bit interested since it doesn't serve any useful purpose for me that I can't accomplish with a different rifle or pistol cartridge. Every piece of fired brass I've examined from one exhibited flowing of the primer around the firing pin, and I know for a fact that some of those were factory loaded rounds. |

I've fired one. 1. Feels like an airsoft gun. 2. Less muzzle energy then Nato 9mm 3. Only 2 1/2 guns (I'm counting an AR upper) fire this round. 4. Firearm is overly expensive for what you get. 5. Ammo is expensive for what you get. 1. Very little recoil.....the gun stays on target after firing. This is a good thing. 2. It is close....don't get in a long distance shoot out with your 9 vs a 5.7....you won't live. Get Elite ammo and then compare. 3. So? 4. My point about can't afford. 5. Re-emphasizing my point about can't afford. You might not, I will since I shoot my handguns out to 100––that includes snubby revolvers. |

ETA: No matter how you slice it, .22WMR is hardly the same as FN5.7 (and I'm no fan of the 5.7) ? jus saw this in my gunstore (palmetto state armory in cola sc) totally ugly, but on the shelf. I played with it for a second then handed it back.... |
Sure, you can have them all. One round at a time.

But come on, cost has got to be a factor to consider among people who actually TRAIN with their firearm. |

I've been on the fence about one of these for a while.
I think I'm going to hold off to see where the .22 TCM goes, since it's reloadable. |
Order some golf shoes... otherwise we'll never get out of this place alive
.308- because people have a strange tendency to get behind things when you start shooting at them.

It's fun to shoot, with a great trigger, extremely low recoil, loud, deep muzzle blast, and muzzle flash. Also .22 Magnum out of a pistol absolutely is not ballistically similar to 5.7×28. Honestly it's pretty much slightly better than .22LR OUT OF A RIFLE ballistics. |

I've had a PMR-30 for a while now, not sure how old but maybe a year after they redesigned the barrels. Accuracy is just OK, lockup isn't super tight. Mine wasn't finicky with ammo but ran CCI maxi mags the best. Never had any feed issues BUT these mags need to be loaded a certain way, treat em sloppy and they won't work. A good speed loader helps. The last issue I had with mine was occasionally not fully stripping a round from a full mag, a quick tap on the slide always seated and kater I added a slide mounted optic and the extra mass semed to fix that. GREAT single action trigger, very light, no recoil but big booms and big fireballs. My poor man's FN 5.7. |
