New KelTec
22 mag pistol. 30 round mags. If it was a 22LR, I’d totally get one.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

So Mr Kelgren is bringing back his earlier designs?
I coulda had a Grendel P-30. Is this KelTec any better?
I’m still OK with my P-10, bought in 1987 in a gun shop in Bettendorf, Iowa.

Re .22LR, I would think a .22WMR design gets them at least halfway there. They’re already dealing with a rimmed cartridge and a fairly large difference in pressure between various loadings with their hybrid locked/blowback design. So maybe there’s hope…
(That said I’m fairly interested in this one as it is. Unfortunately my Budget Director is not…)

I also note, the man’s name is Kellgren. My apologies.

Grin.
So this is an FN5.7 handgun, using cheaper ammo and more of it in a flush fit magazine?
🙂
I’m entertained. Could be one hell of an intersting BUG

Wow, this looks like a Poor Man’s Five-seveN (come to think of it, wouldn’t this platform make for a fairly easy conversion to the 5.7 cartridge? I know it’s got to be higher pressure, but it can’t be that much more, and the PMR-30 isn’t pure blowback…). I could definitely go for one. 30 rounds in a normal-sized autopistol is quite a lot! $415 MSRP means street of $350 or so if it follows Kel-Tec’s usual trend (that’s about what I paid for my Sub2000, which has an MSRP of $409).

Looks like the old Magnum Research Mountain Eagle. The Mountain Eagle has a 15rnd single stack in 22lr. Lots of fun to shoot.

It looks like a five-seven that had birth defects.

Excel Arms is doing a .22LR that takes 10/22 mags, ala the Tec-22.

I have one of the Ruger Single Six revolvers with the .22 Magnum cylinder (and .22 LR).
I like shooting it, but aside from rabbit-hunting, I am not sure what its best real-world uses are, particularly in a handgun.
As the linked article says, it’s originally a rifle cartridge.

Gotta have one! Even though the trigger looks like a Nerf gun gotta have one!

I want one. Would make a great critter killer to have and grab at a moments notice.

The muzzle-blast of the P-30 was/is truely awesome. Even if you didn’t hit what you were aiming at whatever the target, it was cooked at any reasonable range, heh, heh.
As I said elsewhere, I just wish that they would do a redo of the P-31, a .22 mag carbine with a 16-inch barrel and 30 round mags, oh yaz.
