New carry option!

I've always liked the PMR-30, my only concerns would be in regards to reliability, but seeing as yours has performed flawlessly after the first magazine up to 1000 rounds, that would appear to be a non-issue.

I wish that Kel-Tec would make a PMR-30 chambered in 5.7x28mm FN, which would not only be more powerful, but also inherently more reliable due to the fact that the cartridge is centerfire. Heck, I wish that more firearms manufacturers in general would chamber some of their firearms in 5.7x28 FN, as it seems like a fantastic little cartridge with it's relatively slim profile, extremely high velocity, light body armor penetration, and relatively low recoil.
*sighs* If only NATO forces had rightfully told the German delegation that they weren't going to let one little country with a personal stake in the matter hold back the progress of military technology, much less the adoption of said technology and replaced 9mm Luger with 5.7x28 FN way back when, then we would certainly have more firearms chambered in the cartridge right now.
Sadly, I only know of two firearms in all existence which are chambered in 5.7x28 FN, the aptly named FN Five-SEVEN pistol and FN PS90 bullpup rifle, and neither of which do I have any interest in. There was a rumor that some company (Magnum Research?) was going to release a 1911 chambered in 5.7x28mm FN, but sadly is was only a rumor which never came to fruition.

Anyway, back on topic, the PMR-30 seems like a perfectly adequate firearm for self-defense, so you'll get no argument against carrying it from me. The .22WMR cartridge is no slouch, offering enough energy ft-lbs to equal or even surpass .38 Special or .380 ACP out of a pistol, and as long as the ammo you are using is reliable, there's really no reason to doubt that it will get the job done, especially with a whopping 30 rounds in the magazine.

I've been doing the exact same thing with my PMR-30; wearing it every day to judge comfort and utility... both my current holsters also have the extra mag pouch, for 61 available.

It really is unbelievable how lightweight the whole package is; don't even need to wear a heavy gun belt, just a regular one. You can lay down a virtual copper curtain without a reload, and the report alone will have everyone's attention.

Also spent some time getting ammo ideas; the new CCI stuff developed for the A22 is apparently ideal for the PMR-30 (specifically item #963CC)... 35 gr. gamepoints, ample penetration, and bullets that actually expand reliably.

I have been using 30 gr. CCI-TNT rounds (#0063) in my NAA because they're the only .22WMR rounds that actually expand reliably every time, and still offer good penetration. The bullet profile on these A22 rounds is even more forgiving because of the lead nose/meplat.

As long as they function in my pistol, they supposedly deliver the most energy and expansion available in .22WMR from the shorter barrel of a handgun, and will be what I use. I'll probably keep using the 30 grainers in the exceptionally short 1 1/8 barrel of the NAA.
