Title: new PMR-30 .22 WMR
Post by: denali on July 16, 2012, 07:57:51 PM: My daughter is recently engaged to be married (good guy) any way she wanted to get him a pistol as a groom gift so I suggested the PMR-30 .22 mag

So, as any good future father-in-law would do I went out and shot it ,make sure it was safe and functioned well. :chuckle:

My first impression when handling it was crap they sent me a toy airsoft gun by mistake, it is light. The gun shoots well and is a blast to shoot, louder than I expected.

I had 2 fail to feed events in a hundred rounds, slide locked back when there were still rounds in the mag, may not of been well seated?

Not bad to look at either...

I bet the malfunctions will go away after a little break in. You should be a nice guy and put a few hundred more rounds through there to make sure it's ready to roll when the son-in-law gets it. :chuckle: For the record, nobody got me anything when I got married. Just a couple of good lucks, and one person telling me to how long I have to get an annulment. Now I'm going to go smack my Father-in-Law in the back of the head for that. >:( ;)

Congrats to you, your daughter, and her fiance on the engagement as well! :tup:

Bigghammer I got it off of Gunbroker for her, so over MSRP, at this point, I'm still on a waiting list for mine.

Huntbear it has good MOBG :chuckle: of coarse if the daughter didn't run off with it so fast I could provide a more detailed range report.

I guess he has a few guys willing to pay over retail price for it. I decided to hang on to it for now. Would make great side arm during deer season.
