Kel-Tec PMR-30 Velocity measurements and FAQ
12/01/09 at 09:54:27 I know there is still tons of questions about the PMR-30. Hopefully I can answer them.
Aug 1, 2018 - Does anyone know by checking the serial numbers on a PMR 30 when they were produced?
One of the big questions is the velocity with various ammo and how it compares to the FN Fiveseven pistol....well I happen to have that info.
All velocity info in Feet per second, measured at 11 feet from muzzle, shot from a prototype PMR-30.
PMR-30 with Stock 4.3' Barrel:
Avg - Max - Min - Ammo
1308 - 1387 - 1211 - 30gr Winchester Supreme (HP)
1230 - 1280 - 1170 - 40gr Winchester Super X (JHP)
1101 - 1138 - 1065 - 45gr Winchester Dynapoint (HP)
1319 - 1393 - 1265 - 33gr Remington Premier Magnum (poly Tipped)
1116 - 1171 - 1065 - 40gr CCI Maxi-Mag (FMJ)
PMR-30 with non-stock 5' Barrel (likelly will be sold as an accesory):

For comparison, here is the 5.7 pistol velocity with the stock 4.8' barrel and the only ammo we could get at the time.
Avg - Max - Min - Ammo

In 2008, our Chief Design Engineer, Tobias Obermeit had a vision to build a semi-auto .22WMR pistol that holds 30 rounds in a flush-fit magazine. Roughly based on an early, futuristic looking George Kellgren design, the PMR30 was released in 2010 with high praise and stands out as one of the most innovative handguns in the world today.
Firepower
She’s quite svelte, but don’t let the sleek design fool you. The PMR30 defines handgun firepower with its 30 round .22 Magnum capacity. Although perfect for backpacking, camping and range day plinking, the PMR30 can also play a role in home defense for the recoil shy among us.
Hi-Viz Sights
Right out of the box, the PMR30 offers excellent target acquisition due to its fiber optic front & rear sights. It also features an integrated accessory rail to mount a weapon light for those dark rooms or evening situations.
Accurate
The Hi-Viz sights, 4.4″ barrel, excellent 5lb trigger and the option to mount an optic all play a role in the PMR’s accuracy. As long as you pay attention to the fundamentals, the PMR30 will deliver.
