Great review. I am in the 22 mag cult and I'm stuck with an AMT Automag II. The fact he's laughing most of the way through say's it all. Mag release? It holds 30. If it doesn't misfire(what I want to know) and the trigger is good, and accuracy is good then it must be a good gun. Now bring back the 10/22 mag and you have a set.
My buddy bought one,we took it out to the range,awesome little gun but if you buy one,don't bother with ammo not recommended by Kel-Tec as it's hit n miss,had some hang ups and two misfires but with the cci mini mags she fired with no problems every time.
Manufacturers should restrict distributors and dealers from selling new weapons for more than MSRP!!! Too many price gougers out there. A $399 MRSP going upwards towards $600 for is ridiculous. Same with the KSG.
@ddorrer Thank you! Also though what the hell is wrong with Kel Tec? They have a golden goose and they aren't kickin that thing. Build, expand, more crews, more jobs, more hours and... take over the world! Is there something I don't know about the gun business? Anyone? 3 cool new guns are almost a myth because they don't make very many.
I'm new to you're videos hitkok , but I love them . If you haven't done a video on the Kel-Tec PLR-16 please try . If you have already done so I haven't found It.
Thanks for the review, I am considering this as a night-hunt handgun backup for the overflowing coyote population around here, since rimfire and #4 shotshells are the only legal ammo after dark for the 'yotes.
@bf2lover42 So what's the difference between.22 lr and .22 mag then? The problem isn't that they don't "double stack" well it's that because of the rimmed cartridges feeding is very unreliable in an automatic, same reason you see very few rimmed cartridges in autos, i.e .357, 44 mag etc. Your ignorant for comparing the engineering of a .22 that started production in 1964 to one that has only been around for a year!! Thanks for the education though dumb ass...
@bf2lover42 once again your acting like this is an issue specific to the .22lr, your missing the point so I'll just drop it...besides you probably need to get back to your Call of Duty or whatever it is you do.
@HoldFastUSN No, it's not a problem exclusive to .22lr. You're just "assuming" I said it was. Hence, why don't you kindly pick fights with people your age.
Or go have a pillow fight with your sister. See mommy? That kid insulted me and I insulted him back with something worse! *WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Also, go see a therapist because you obviously have an obsession with Call of Duty. It isn't normal to bring it up when you're not talking about anything related to it.
WOW where do I start? You have been saying this whole time that the problem is exclusive to 22lr, my point has been if they can do it with 22mag they should be able to do it with 22lr yet you seem to act like the problem lies soley with 22lr? you make no sense and your getting defensive, must have hit a soft spot with the Call of Duty comment! By the way I do like Call of Duty, then again there isn't much else to do when your deployed...Oh well, you can have the last word tough guy..
@HoldFastUSN No, doing it with .22Mag requires new R&D for .22lr.
Defensive? I pretty much stayed in the offense with that "pillow fight with your sister". Man, I am so cool and edgy.
"isn't much else to do when your deployed"
Okay, I think we have established what is causing your bursts of incoherent behavior. If playing CoD gets your mind off the potatoes you have to peel in the Mess then you should do it and stop listening to the other boys messing with your xbox.
Thanks to guys from On Target for the loan of gun so you could make this video. The PMR is an interesting gun. However, I still not sure if I would want one. Great video!
@darkshineize There's a website that can answer all of these questions just by simply typing the name of the gun in and hitting enter. Its call google dick head.
Very interesting gun but it does not inspire allot of confidence. If they work out the bugs then I would buy one. Look on brassfetcher if you're wondering about the performance of the 22 magnum, they show over 12" penetration.
as cool as this gun is it had 3 issues during the video...1. the mag release design is flawed if you accidentally drop it whilst dis/engaging the safety...2. the mag dropped during firing...3. in that brief moment it wouldnt load...needs work kel tec....
Is Kel-Tec manufacturing this weapon again? I was looking for one about 3-4 months ago and was told and found that the PMR-30 was having major issues with the rifling in the barrel so they stopped production. A guy that a local gun show in Ohio told me that they will not produce them again. Anyone got any info..
Nice gun for the ole lady while you away. Its darn near a sub machine gun!
I had a 22 wmr in the LMT automag II when I was a teeny bopper but It jammed more than I cared for and I didnt have the money, means or knowledge to fix it and and so I traded it. :( The .22 mag as a pistol is a sweet shooter that can fill many roles including self defense.
" You could do worse than a .22mag.......beat someone with stick probably".......hahaha! This looks like a real cool gun just to mess around with. 30 round in a handgun, how could that not be fun? Great review as always hickok
I've noticed you've never made a video for a .22magnum carbine, like the ones from Henry. Keltec is an interesting company though, innovative; however quality isnt exactly that of ruger or remington
I was at the range the other day, and the guy in the bay next to me is shooting something with a very VERY deep voice!! BOOM!! BOOM!!! Not having ever seen a 22 Mag, I see these skinny shells on the floor, and peek around the corner, and ask... "What is that?". He was very friendly and I couldn't believe how light it was! I must have one!! :-)
@danthman114 .17 HMR Doesn't function in a semi auto action I've heard (not saying that it's fact) I've never seen a .17 HMR semi auto in any rifle or pistol as well.
Kel-tec firearms are kinda like bigfoot.I've seen pictures and people claim to have seen them but I remain a skeptic on there existence.:) Maybe they are available now but a year ago my local gun shop just laughed at me when I said that I wanted to order one.
I love 22mag, cheap to shoot, easy to control, more punch than 22LR, less recoil than other calibers, but the gun is not legal here in CA, and there are not a lot of 22mag handguns here in CA to buy.........sucks!
That thing was so fun to shoot. The sights glow so bright it makes the black targets hard to make out... Still hit the gong with it though. Also very skinny grip makes for a unique feel.
if they made this in a small pocket gun, someone like Kahr or Glock, i think it would sell like that cakes. I also would not be surprised if it was better self defense that a .380. The .22LR CCI Velociter has showen the same or better ballistics in ballistic gel as a .380
a velocity test in a 6" barrel for 22wmr, from BuffmanLT1 's youtube, shows ~1300 fps, compared to ~1100 fps for a 22LR per various tests I just googled for the ruger mIII.
@Roamingdead19 IF (and that's a big if) you can FIND the damn thing, prepare to pay at least MSRP for it ($415) if not alot more. Everyone and their greasy greasy granny wants one.
Saw one of these for the first time being fired about 2 hours ago at the range. Talk about a cool lookin gun. Accurate as a whip, love the capacity, awesome sights and CRAZY muzzle flash. I loved it.
I would love one of these in a .22 lr. Really there's no need for a .22 mag, there's nothing it can do that long rifle can't. I don't think there are ANY hi-cap .22 lr pistols out there. Great video though.
@513Scotchpagan I know the WMR is more powerfull, but what can you kill with a .22 mag the .22 LR can't take down? And .22 LR is MUCH cheaper to shoot.
@xBossAwesomex yea you're right. the best perk of the WMR is the terminal ballistics. the extra 200 fps drives the bullet further into a target and shreds more. *hella tissue damage
@xBossAwesomex The .22 WMR has much better ballistics (like 50% better) than the standard 22lr in a rifle barrel e.g.20" but the difference is less in a short barrel. That muzzle flash is unburned powder.
@sethdog1000 Again, I know the .22 mag is more powerful, but not by that much. CCI stingers shoot a 32 grain .22lr bullet at almost 1700 fps. Thats not far behind a .22 mag. And even with the additional power from the .22 mag, what can you kill with that that you cant with a .22lr?
@xBossAwesomex In a shot show video Kel-Tec said they were working on the lr version. I would buy one asap if they had it. It would be usful for a shit ton of stuff
@xBossAwesomex As far as capactiy goes, kel tech also makes a pistol called the plr-22, a .22lr pistol based on their 5.56 plr-16. On their website, it is listed as having a 26 round capacity, but you might be thinking of high cap. as equal to or greater than 30 rounds.
@xBossAwesomex idk about that i would rather go fox hunting or keep away the ferrel dogs with a henry .22magnum or a remington 597 .22magnum than a .22lr. a shot to the face with an lr could just reeealy piss off a fox or rabid dog, while a .22magnum will definitly deal with it.
@xBossAwesomex Well you know that .22Lr and .22Sr have a tendency to jam up on a semi-auto rifle and pistol well that magnum seems like it'll reduce those odds.
With a .22 magnum, it wouldnt make a bad self defense gun. .22 magnum hollowpoints are nothing to sneer at provided your attacker isnt wearing full body armor :D
@caseyreavis Yah, wouldnt that be the bomb :D Never owned a FN 57 (or whatever its called) but I do hear they made that round specifically for armored targets and apparently it works pretty damn well (HK made a MP7 with that round too I think, I'd have loved to own one of them). For civilian self-defense situations though .22 magnum would be more then sufficient with hollow points. If anything is still standing after taking even 2-3 of those (with 28 or so to go), just run I say lol.
@shkotay Those two rounds were tested against each other to see which had the best ballistic performance. The better round was going to be used as the new generic smg/pdw round. The 5.7x28mm won by far, but H&K decided to use 4.6x30mm anyway, even though it has less stopping power and less potential penetration.
I have a ps90 (5.7x28mm) and i love the 5.7 round, low recoil, super accurate, great penetration and the cartridge itself is pretty sexy looking.
@RobotEnough5143 I hate you :P The P90 is essentially next to impossible to get in Canada. I think (not sure) they fall under the prohibited category :( I usually drool over them when I hit Cabela's in Duluth. Oddly, if I can scrape enough $ together i can own a FN 57. I might try it sometime this year, that round looks cool as hell and altough somewhat costly, the pistol itself isnt as bad as I would have thought for its exoticness. I just have to find a seller.
Hey Hickok, long time fan. Just want to say THANKS ALOT.. been wanting one of these forever but Kel-Tec is missing the boat on production of these. I get to watch others play with it, but can't even find one to hold myself. Tell your T&E rep to get on the ball and get these in production again. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!
I just thought of something when I saw you checking to see how many rounds are left in the mag at 9:05. Why are a lot of pistol mag witness holes on the right side if pistols are generally made for right hand dominant people? Even ambidexterous pistols like this PMR-30 have the witness holes on the right side.
Someone's probably asked this a million times already but how far is the gong from the workbench?

That thing was so fun to shoot. The sights glow so bright it makes the black targets hard to make out... Still hit the gong with it though. Also very skinny grip makes for a unique feel.

I'm guessing PMR-30 stands for Polymer Magnum Rimfire & 30 is for the magazine capacity.

if they made this in a small pocket gun, someone like Kahr or Glock, i think it would sell like that cakes. I also would not be surprised if it was better self defense that a .380. The .22LR CCI Velociter has showen the same or better ballistics in ballistic gel as a .380

@corporalbrig good call, maybe in the E-configuration. With the pistol grip. He would get a good chuckle. Great gun though.I have one.

a velocity test in a 6" barrel for 22wmr, from BuffmanLT1 's youtube, shows ~1300 fps, compared to ~1100 fps for a 22LR per various tests I just googled for the ruger mIII.

It took me a few watches before I got your "university that makes guns" joke, but once it set in, I laughed so hard. That's why I love these videos.
I love that gun too, it's just too bad I'll never be able to own one. They'd never let us have something like that in NY.

@Roamingdead19 IF (and that's a big if) you can FIND the damn thing, prepare to pay at least MSRP for it ($415) if not alot more. Everyone and their greasy greasy granny wants one.

Saw one of these for the first time being fired about 2 hours ago at the range. Talk about a cool lookin gun. Accurate as a whip, love the capacity, awesome sights and CRAZY muzzle flash. I loved it.

I would love one of these in a .22 lr. Really there's no need for a .22 mag, there's nothing it can do that long rifle can't. I don't think there are ANY hi-cap .22 lr pistols out there. Great video though.
xBossAwesomex 1 month ago 17
@xBossAwesomex um..the WMR has 740 more fps that the LR. and for a pistol as opposed to a rifle that's more than ideal.
513Scotchpagan 1 month ago
@513Scotchpagan I know the WMR is more powerfull, but what can you kill with a .22 mag the .22 LR can't take down? And .22 LR is MUCH cheaper to shoot.
xBossAwesomex 1 month ago
@xBossAwesomex yea you're right. the best perk of the WMR is the terminal ballistics. the extra 200 fps drives the bullet further into a target and shreds more. *hella tissue damage
513Scotchpagan 1 month ago
@xBossAwesomex The .22 WMR has much better ballistics (like 50% better) than the standard 22lr in a rifle barrel e.g.20" but the difference is less in a short barrel. That muzzle flash is unburned powder.
sethdog1000 1 month ago
@sethdog1000 Again, I know the .22 mag is more powerful, but not by that much. CCI stingers shoot a 32 grain .22lr bullet at almost 1700 fps. Thats not far behind a .22 mag. And even with the additional power from the .22 mag, what can you kill with that that you cant with a .22lr?

@xBossAwesomex In a shot show video Kel-Tec said they were working on the lr version. I would buy one asap if they had it. It would be usful for a shit ton of stuff

@xBossAwesomex As far as capactiy goes, kel tech also makes a pistol called the plr-22, a .22lr pistol based on their 5.56 plr-16. On their website, it is listed as having a 26 round capacity, but you might be thinking of high cap. as equal to or greater than 30 rounds.

@xBossAwesomex idk about that i would rather go fox hunting or keep away the ferrel dogs with a henry .22magnum or a remington 597 .22magnum than a .22lr. a shot to the face with an lr could just reeealy piss off a fox or rabid dog, while a .22magnum will definitly deal with it.
burnsboysaresoldiers 1 month ago
@xBossAwesomex Well you know that .22Lr and .22Sr have a tendency to jam up on a semi-auto rifle and pistol well that magnum seems like it'll reduce those odds.

With a .22 magnum, it wouldnt make a bad self defense gun. .22 magnum hollowpoints are nothing to sneer at provided your attacker isnt wearing full body armor :D
shkotay 1 month ago
that's when you suggest to keltec to make this in 5.7x28mm, a round which was designed to defeat body armor...
caseyreavis 1 month ago
@caseyreavis Yah, wouldnt that be the bomb :D Never owned a FN 57 (or whatever its called) but I do hear they made that round specifically for armored targets and apparently it works pretty damn well (HK made a MP7 with that round too I think, I'd have loved to own one of them). For civilian self-defense situations though .22 magnum would be more then sufficient with hollow points. If anything is still standing after taking even 2-3 of those (with 28 or so to go), just run I say lol.
shkotay 1 month ago
@caseyreavis Sorry the MP7 was 4.6x30, my error.
shkotay 1 month ago
@shkotay Those two rounds were tested against each other to see which had the best ballistic performance. The better round was going to be used as the new generic smg/pdw round. The 5.7x28mm won by far, but H&K decided to use 4.6x30mm anyway, even though it has less stopping power and less potential penetration.
I have a ps90 (5.7x28mm) and i love the 5.7 round, low recoil, super accurate, great penetration and the cartridge itself is pretty sexy looking.
RobotEnough5143 1 month ago
@RobotEnough5143 I hate you :P The P90 is essentially next to impossible to get in Canada. I think (not sure) they fall under the prohibited category :( I usually drool over them when I hit Cabela's in Duluth. Oddly, if I can scrape enough $ together i can own a FN 57. I might try it sometime this year, that round looks cool as hell and altough somewhat costly, the pistol itself isnt as bad as I would have thought for its exoticness. I just have to find a seller.

Hey Hickok, long time fan. Just want to say THANKS ALOT.. been wanting one of these forever but Kel-Tec is missing the boat on production of these. I get to watch others play with it, but can't even find one to hold myself. Tell your T&E rep to get on the ball and get these in production again. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

I just thought of something when I saw you checking to see how many rounds are left in the mag at 9:05. Why are a lot of pistol mag witness holes on the right side if pistols are generally made for right hand dominant people? Even ambidexterous pistols like this PMR-30 have the witness holes on the right side.
