The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 WMR with a 30-round double-stack magazine. It uses an unusual hybrid blowback / locked-breech 'unlocked short-recoil' action designed to handle the wide pressure variation between .22 Magnum loadings. Weighing just 386 grams unloaded, it is exceptionally light for its size and capacity, with a polymer slide and grip frame over an aluminum internal chassis and a 4140 steel barrel.
