Who has one, and what's it shoot like? Palmetto has them on sale today for $369.00. For that price, I may just do it.

Bought one a couple years ago. Hangs up about every fourth round. Tried both magazines that it came with, full, half full didnt make a difference. Didn't bother fooling with it. It's just taking up space in the gun cabinet now.

30 rounds of .22mag would be great when walking up to a full hog trap. Interested myself.

Keltech has some interesting designs but QC is lacking. Usually you can tune a problem gun, its not like they are junk, just might need some tuning. 30 rounds of 22 mag when working has to be loads of fun. I haven't shot one in years though.

I’ve been having one for a few years. I tap the back of the mag every 5-6 rounds when loading it and I find it doesn’t hang up if I do that. I found mine at academy for about $350 when everybody else had them priced in the $600+ range. The gun feels cheaply made and the grip is pretty fat especially if you have smaller hands like me, but it’s still a lot of fun to shoot. I just wish 22 magnum ammo wasn’t so damn expensive these days.

I love mine!!!!!!! Have the PMR & CMR. I have 3k dollar pistols and rifles and they are amazing. However nothing in my cabinet makes me giggle like those two 22mags. Providing SHTF I would probably take them over anything else I have based only on how bad arse they are and how much ammo I can carry vs anything else I have (SCAR17, B&T APC45, Daniel Defense bla bla bla. KELTEC has great customer service as well. I broke the top of the slide called them for a replacement part. They asked me to send it to them. They paid shipping and repaired it for free. My PMR has been under water so many times it's not funny (swamp running my SXS) They are a ton of fun and a great trail/camping gun. I trust it enough as I "carry" it sometimes over my 1911. Just tap on the back of the mag while loading it like you would any other mag and use CCI 40 grain ammo. LEGIT Hornets nest as fast as you can pull the trigger!

That's one thing I don't do, sell guns. When I get em i keep em, even if it's a turd. I'll probably dig it out one day and have it looked at.

Have one and my assessment:

Feels like a plastic toy
Loud
Fun as hell to shoot
I’ve had no issues with mine

If you are interested it’s worth having. Very different from most other handguns and the capacity alone makes it interesting

My experience exactly. Friend bought one and since they don’t have a ready place to shoot, he asked me to take it home and shoot it for him. It was a jam-o-matic and I was very disappointed. Really wanted to like it but after an hour of trying I gave up.

If they can fix the feeding issues and extraction problems I constantly encountered, it would be a great weapon with many applications.

This succinct assessment is right in line with my limited experience. I bought one a few weeks ago for $369 from PSA and have shot 120 rounds through it. I haven't experienced any feed issues at least yet but the mags are a challenge to get rounds to stack properly. The Keltec manual acknowledges it's finicky about ammo and recommends some brands.

As an aside I also bought one of the PSA Daggers at the same time and have been very impressed with it especially considering the price.

Bought it. Took it home and oiled it up pretty good. Took the magazines apart. Put some graphite in the follower channels.

Shot 80 rounds of Remington 40g. Not one hang up the entire 80. Shot slow and fast. It extracted the hell of of the brass. I'm pleased so far

I sell all the time but you can bet I do it only to get another gun that is superior. Upgrading is what I always try to do. I keep a core group of firearms that will never be sold but I keep some just to use for fun and then upgrade.
