Hello all.
I'm a big believer in knowing your limitations - and right now I have two big ones. So I need your help and input.
I saw the Keltec PMR-30 and was impressed: 30 rounds, 22 Magnum, super light, all sounds good.
Here's what I don't know: Anything about Keltec. I saw them as the "Kia" of guns, no offense to Keltec owners. I just have no experience with them, period.
They seem really... plastic-ee. I know, but it's the only way I can describe it. They are not Glock polymer (heavy, robust, or seemingly so). They seem like plastic gun case... plastic - light, flexible, you get the idea.
Does anyone have experience with Keltec and their reliability, etc?
Is this PMR-30 a $900 gun? (yes, that's the price of one today; $415 Retail List)
Second issue: 22 Magnum cartridge. Is this, or can this be considered a defensive round? I know they make hollowpoints for them, but are they effective? I could find little on penetration and ballistics.
Any info on this decision is appreciated in advance.
