PMR-30

PMR-30

I don't know if I have found anything magical or not, but here is a brand new .22 mag pistol holding 30 rounds. A great gun for not only teaching youth shooting, but for trapping and outdoor uses. It is solid and priced right. Released in the 2nd quarter of 2010 they are a little hard to find at the moment, especially made in USA, but check with Crosby Gun or Rick at Van Raymonds.

The PMR-30 is a light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .22Magnum cartridge (.22WMR). The PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. It uses a double stack magazine of a new design that holds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol. The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small game.
