PMR-30 pistol
The PMR-30 is a light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .
22Magnum cartridge (.22WMR). The PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid
blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide
variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback
operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. It uses a double stack magazine of
a new design that holds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol.
The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb
activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back
after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger
pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small
game.
Slide and barrel are 4140 steel, frame is 7075 aluminum. Grip, slide cover, trigger, mag
release, and safety levers are glass reinforced Nylon (Zytel), much like other Kel-Tec
Pistols. Magazine is Also Zytel and holds 30 rounds, with round count ports.
Other features include: dual opposing extractors for reliability, heel magazine release to
aid in magazine retention, dovetailed aluminum front sight, Picatinny accessory rail
under the barrel, Urethane recoil buffer, captive coaxial recoil springs. The barrel is
fluted for light weight and effective heat dissipation. PMR30 disassembles for cleaning
by removal of a single pin.

This is an interesting gun. Sounds like they may have solved the feed issue with most auto attempts in the 22 WMR. It also looks to be a direct competitor with the Five-seveN pistol, (yes, that 22 caliber cop killer gun used at Ft Hood.)
Similar weight, barrel length, larger magazine capacity, and almost identical ballistics, regarding bullet weight and velocity. I would question its use as a hunting pistol. Short sight radius and short barrel do not make it a hunter, even though the 22 WMR is an excellent varmit caliber in rifles. If the action proves reliable, place the action in a carbine and maybe you have a great competitor to Ruger's 10/22 series. I would consider one of those for myself.

Edit to add: They would have to fix that zytel magazine. Never had one yet that lasts very long without having to mod them with metal feed lips.

The Grendels worked just fine as long as you stuck with WW ammo.
Everything else gave issues but the WW never did.

FN better watch out :D
