The muzzle blast of the original P-30 was/is truely awesome. I just wish that Kel-Tec would do a redo of the R-31, a .22 mag carbine witha 16-inch barrel and 30 round mags, oh yaz.

The muzzle-blast of the P-30 was/is truely awesome. Even if you didn’t hit what you were aiming at whatever the target, it was cooked at any reasonable range, heh, heh.
As I said elsewhere, I just wish that they would do a redo of the P-31, a .22 mag carbine with a 16-inch barrel and 30 round mags, oh yaz.

I want one. Would make a great critter killer to have and grab at a moments notice.

Gotta have one! Even though the trigger looks like a Nerf gun gotta have one!

I have one of the Ruger Single Six revolvers with the .22 Magnum cylinder (and .22 LR).

I like shooting it, but aside from rabbit-hunting, I am not sure what its best real-world uses are, particularly in a handgun.

As the linked article says, it’s originally a rifle cartridge.

Excel Arms is doing a .22LR that takes 10/22 mags, ala the Tec-22.

It looks like a five-seven that had birth defects.

Looks like the old Magnum Research Mountain Eagle. The Mountain Eagle has a 15rnd single stack in 22lr. Lots of fun to shoot.

Wow, this looks like a Poor Man’s Five-seveN (come to think of it, wouldn’t this platform make for a fairly easy conversion to the 5.7 cartridge? I know it’s got to be higher pressure, but it can’t be that much more, and the PMR-30 isn’t pure blowback…). I could definitely go for one. 30 rounds in a normal-sized autopistol is quite a lot! $415 MSRP means street of $350 or so if it follows Kel-Tec’s usual trend (that’s about what I paid for my Sub2000, which has an MSRP of $409).

Grin.

So this is an FN5.7 handgun, using cheaper ammo and more of it in a flush fit magazine?

I’m entertained. Could be one hell of an intersting BUG

I also note, the man’s name is Kellgren. My apologies.

Re .22LR, I would think a .22WMR design gets them at least halfway there. They’re already dealing with a rimmed cartridge and a fairly large difference in pressure between various loadings with their hybrid locked/blowback design. So maybe there’s hope…

(That said I’m fairly interested in this one as it is. Unfortunately my Budget Director is not…)

So Mr Kelgren is bringing back his earlier designs? I coulda had a Grendel P-30. Is this KelTec any better? I'm still OK with my P-10, bought in 1987 in a gun shop in Bettendorf, Iowa.
