| Wow. 30 rounds? And it's 22 mag instead of LR so it's a little more sting than normal. It'd be fun to shoot. MSRP of around $425, so I could probably get it at my local shop for $350. I don't know if I could pay more than $320 for a Kel Tec. Hell, a PF9 at my local shop is only $275 out the door. |

| Looks like a clone of the FN 5.7 pistol. |

| I'm almost tempted to say that 30 rounds of 22 Mag would make a sweet little BUG but I don't want to incur any wrath. other than to account for a mag malfunction, would you even need a spare mag for ammo? |

22 mag is not cheap to shoot. My kids first pistol was a Ruger 22/45 and he moved very easily and quickly to a 9 mm 1911. 9mm 1911s have 10 or 12 pound recoil springs and are very easy to cycle.
Sorry if you know this trick already, but when I work with women or kids that have problems cycling an auto, I tell them to:
"c" clamp (4 fingers on the right side of the gun, palm on left side) thier left hand on the slide behind the ejection port and hold the slide in place with their left hand by "making a muscle" with their left arm. Then use the palm of their right hand to drive the gun forward by pushing from the shoulder and extending thier arm from the elbow. When the the gun hits the stop, switch to holding the gun with the right hand and just release the slide with the left hand. Works like a charm!
For some reason it takes less strenght then to try to hold the gun in place with the right hand and pull the slide back and release it. I think it is because you are using major muscle groups this way.
I hope this may be of help to your son no matter what you get him.

| Wow, I wouldn't mind having one of those(if they work) Not for a defensive gun, of course, but I have been looking at .22 pistols lately. This thing is definately neat. Most .22 pistols no matter the size only hold 10 rounds WTF? I know they can do better. |

George Kellgren, the main guy at Keltec designed the Grendel P30 that also held 30 rounds of 22 WMR. Production ceased with the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. Ugly as sin, but they were a blast to shoot. Glad to see George is resurrecting the P30 with the PMR30.
30 rounds of .22 Magnum as fast as you can pull the trigger?? Mousegun or Assault pistol?
