Socom Gear Kel-tec PMR-30 .24cal/6mm Co2 pistol

A few years ago I purchased the last SocomGear Kel-Tec PMR-30 6mm Co2 blowback airsoft pistol that Pyramydair had in stock, forever, because this airsoft pistol had been discontinued.

I quickly fell in love with this replica airsoft pistol, and when I chronographed it, I was amazed at the results.

My PMR-30 shot .20 gram BB's over 550 fps, and the aluminum alloy .30 gram BB's averaged around 440 fps!

Since my PMR-30 was purchased in the USA, it had an orange muzzle, and more. The entire outer barrel was orange!

This pistol was so much fun to shoot that I didn't care.

Evenually, after perhaps 1000 rounds, the slide brokeby the ejection port. I glued it, and it broke again, so I got online and tried to find an official SocomGear parts & repair shop in Canada, and there was contact info on the SocomGear webpage.

I contacted airsoftparts dot ca through email and sure enough he could have a replacement slide shipped from Asia, but it would cost $50 for the shipping...however, he said that he has a factory demo model with an all black outer barrel that he would be happy to sell me for $100, shipping from Toronto included, how would I like that?

!!!!!!!HELL YA!!!!!!!!

This is my all black Kel-tec PMR-30 Co2 pistol.
It is a 15 round semi-automatic chambered in .24cal/6mm.
It has a high muzzle velocity, shooting .20 gram BB's up to 500 fps, and easily handles the .30 gram metal alloy 6mm BB's, which i  chronographed around 440-460fps with this Co2 pistol!

I don't consider this pistol to be an "airsoft" gun since it is far too powerful for any airsoft games.
It is an air weapon/Co2 pistol chambered in .24 caliber/6mm roundball...I'd like to try loading 6mm lead roundball (if that size exists?) and find out how well I performs shooting lead.

 I enjoy my SocomGear Kel-Tec PMR-30 .24cal/6mm GBB Co2 Pistol so much that I take alot of photographs of it 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

The fibre optic sights are phenomenal! They make aiming the PMR-30 a breeze...

I love this air pistol.
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:
