Lightweight, high-capacity pistols that deliver controllable performance and practical accuracy are rare; the right platform balances recoil, sighting, and magazine capacity without becoming a handful at the range. For shooters who want a compact semi-auto dedicated to precision with low-recoil cartridges, this pistol fills that niche.

Design and handling

The PMR-30’s hollow-frame polymer design keeps the unloaded weight to just 13.6 oz while offering a manageable sight radius of 6.9″. At 7.9″ overall length, the platform is easy to carry and quick to point. Its 4.3″ barrel helps optimize velocity for the .22 Magnum (22 WMR), producing roughly 138 ft-lbs energy with a 40gr load — enough for small game and precise target work with minimal muzzle rise.

Sights, controls, and accessory options

Sight configuration is practical for precision work: a rear fiber optic sight paired with a Hi-Viz adjustable front sight gives fast acquisition and repeatable sighting. An integrated Picatinny rail under the dust cover allows lights or lasers to be mounted without aftermarket gunsmithing. Trigger pull is factory-rated at roughly 4–6 lbs, a useful range for controlled follow-up shots.

Capacity and ergonomics are standout talking points: a 30+1 tubular magazine provides extended strings of fire without frequent reloads, while loaded magazine weight adds approximately 6 oz — still keeping the pistol light and nimble. For buyers, the listed price is $444.99; you can View product details and pricing on the shop page, which links through to purchase options.

Use cases and tactical notes

As a semi-auto in .22 Magnum, the PMR-30 suits precision plinking, varmint control, and role-specific training where recoil management and follow-up speed are priorities. The balance of a lightweight frame with a high-capacity magazine makes it a capable choice for shooters who favor extended drills and economical practice without sacrificing sighting clarity.

For a focused 22 WMR platform that emphasizes capacity, low weight, and accessory flexibility, the KELTEC PMR-30 is worth evaluating. Check current availability and detailed specifications on the product page, where you can proceed to buy through the retailer.
