The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 WMR. It’s built for high-capacity rimfire shooting, offering a 30-round magazine capacity in a lightweight, ergonomic package. Ideal for recreational shooters, varmint control, or as a high-volume training tool, its standout feature is its magazine capacity relative to its size. We added this to our catalog in summer 2025 due to consistent customer demand, and we now keep over 20 units in stock to prevent backorders.

Your Questions Answered
What is the primary use for the PMR-30?
The PMR-30 is primarily a recreational and utility pistol. Its high capacity and low-recoil .22 WMR chambering make it effective for extended range sessions, varmint control, and training. It is not typically selected as a primary defensive firearm due to rimfire cartridge limitations.
Is .22 WMR ammunition easy to find?
Availability can vary. While not as ubiquitous as .22 LR, .22 WMR is a common rimfire hunting cartridge carried by most major ammunition retailers. We recommend checking local stock or purchasing online in quantity for best value and availability.
How does the magazine load?
The 30-round magazine uses a specific loading procedure outlined in the manual. Cartridges are loaded in a single-stack configuration that then fans out in the magazine body. Following the instructions is crucial for reliable function. Practice loading with snap caps is recommended.
