I first bought one from pyramydair last year. It was the last one they would ever have in stock, and being from the USA, it had an orange barrel.
I shot it nearly every day for six months, and it shot .30 gram .24 cal/6mm aluminum BB's over 400 fps and .25 gram polymer BB's as high as 460 fps and .20 gram polymer BB's over 500 fps!!!
One day the blowback action caused the slide to crack, and I was heartbroken.
A year later, I was looking for help to repair it, or buy a replacement slide at the "socom gear" website and linked to the authorized Canadian parts and repair company called airsoft parts.ca, and sent an email explaining my situation with my Kel-tec PMR-30 Co2 pistol.
The owner surprised me by offering to sell me the factory demo model he had stashed away since it was a new product over 5 years ago for $100 including shipping!!!
Obviously I couldn't refuse, and within a couple of days I opened the package, and upon inspection I discovered that this factory demo model had an all black barrel, NO ORANGE barrel!!!
This I one of the most realistic replica air pistols that I have ever seen.
The real steel PMR-30 is chambered for .22Magnum, and the co2 replica is .24 caliber/6mm, it's actually a tiny bit larger than the original handgun!!!
Anyhow, now I own two SocomGear Kel-tec PMR-30's, and I still plan to repair the slide myself, and disable the blowback action so the slide won't break again.
The blowback is basically just recoil simulation, and has no other function. It is a double action only pistol, so disabling the slide won't affect anything important.
If this fails, at least it will be good as a spare parts gun.
I did some chronograph testing with my newest .24cal/6mm Kel-tec PMR-30 Co2 air pistol last weekend, and was very impressed with how consistently it shot .25 gram polymer BB's around 450 fps.
I decided to see if it could handle 1 gram 6mm steel slingshot ammo.
All I can say is WoW!
This air pistol shoot 6mm steel ball slingshot ammo as high as 312 fps & over 4 fpe(foot-pounds of muzzle energy)!
I am not going to shoot this ammo on a regular basis because it may damage the guns barrel, but out of curiosity, I had to try it out.
My new factory demo Socom Gear Kel-tec PMR-30 Co2 pistol is a sharp looking air pistol:
