Kel-Tec PMR-30

My latest pistola! The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a very slim and ultralight standard sized pistol with a capacity of 30+1 rounds of .22 magnum.
It's a lot of fun to shoot!
I was a bit skeptical of .22 WMR in a pistol, and admittedly the performance suffers compared to a rifle, but it's definitely more punchy than a .22 LR pistol. For most ammo, it's close to .22 LR from a rifle. There's little felt recoil and it's easy to stay on target for very fast follow-up shots. There is a decent muzzle flash, and it's loud for a rimfire.
30 rounds is an insane capacity in a standard sized pistol, and given the speed of the follow-up shots, this could be surprisingly effective as a self defense pistol, particularly for people with arthritis or some similar condition.
That's a Crimson Trace CMR-201 laser on the rail, for the ultimate point and click interface.
The PMR-30 fits most Glock 17 mags. It weighs 19 ounces with 30 rounds of ammo in the magazine.
The RMR-30 carbine version is expected in a few months. It'll have a collapsible stock, and will sort of be a poor man's HK MP7.
