huh. I must have misread the description in the FN Herstal catalog... and our computer, 'cause I've sold the stuff.

The only way I would buy one is if I could buy one for $1500..I never really wanted one until the latest incident and I figure it's my duty to add to the paranoia and speculation.
The Virginia Tech shooter used 9mm & a .22 LR pistols, Reagan and Brady were shot with a .22, but as EC pointed out, shooting unarmed people isn't really a great indicator of it's viability as a defensive round.
But it's still less performance than a standard 9mm at more than twice the cost of ammo, nevermind that it's about twice the price of a 9mm Glock or Beretta.
The only advantage I see in this pistol over others is that if one has a P90 or a 5.7 upper for their AR they have interchangable ammo for both guns.
The wound channel/ballistic energy profile of the round in balgel is very similar to 22 magnum, that's why it's often compared. The 5.7 is faster but the bullet is very light.

Its big claim to fame is that it's a small and fast projectile. Small and fast is the easiest way to get through body armor for a projectile launched from a handgun. While not as efficient in the mortality department compared to more powerful loads, that doesn't mean it's not lethal.
If you want to penetrate body armor, use a rifle. If you don't want to use a rifle, then you need something with very little diameter and very fast.

No thank you please. Even though 22 magnum is no cheap affair, I really want one of Kel-Tec's PMR-30 pistols. Talk about fun! Thirty rounds of 22 magnum in a handgun - works for me! ![[cheers]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/018.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
If this gun pans out as something reliable, it will be among my first purchases when I move to NH...

I still don't know why they don't have double stack Ruger MkII's, Browning Buckmarks, etc., or just one of these in .22 Magnum with standard capacity.
Can you imagine it? I'm a huge Mark II fan - Imagine a 22mag Mark II? Would be a whole lot of awesome...I'm looking forward to the Kel Tec

Because "no honest man needs more than 15 rounds". *spit*

Now that's pretty cool right there.
