KelTec PMR-30 22 Magnum Review (The Poor Man’s FN57)

I was fortunate enough to get a PMR 30 on loan from Tactical Gun Review.com (TGR). This thing is a PURE joy to shoot! Aside from having what I believe is an acceptable magazine capacity (interject super big smile here), the pistol shot flawlessly with the two types of ammo I had on hand. The recoil was next to nothing and the fireball out the muzzle was exciting. The weight of the pistol was nearly nothing. I wore the PMR-30 in a holster on my hip for the better part of the day while roaming the countryside with the family. I almost never knew it was there because of the weight, or lack of. I may have to pick one of these up for myself down the road. NOTE: “The Gap” I referred to in the video got me thinking. So I looked in a couple of gun magazine publications and found a marketing photo for the PMR-30. The gun in the photo also had the gap. So maybe it’s supposed to be there, but why? The only reason I can think of is that there needs to be a little room for the slide to clear the frame under recoil. I suspect during recoil that the plastic frame is flexing and if there was a tight fit between frame and slide, the slide may hit the end of the frame. But this is only a guess. Never the less, I think it is a fun pistol. See www.TacticalGunReview.com for in depth user reviews on guns and optics.
