I'll let the video do the talking. I'm still trying to decide what I think about it...


Its kind of retarded. Using old methods to load a defensive handgun… have fun trying to do that quickly while running around. I know I can load magazines in rifles and pistols at a near full sprint or a few other silly positions and circumstances but a stripper clip might be wild.

Broomhandle Mauser Revisited. Wonder if they will come out with one in 7.63x25mm Mauser? No go for me, when the zombie hoard is wandering around the dilapidated grocery store and your trying to get the last cans of tuna and past the undead in post apocalyptic America 2031, I want a mag for rapid reloading. One zombie bite can ruin your day.

Looks like it is fairly compact.

Oh well, looks interesting, they probably will sell a few.

I wonder if it is a workaround for states that have mag limits?
That's exactly what it's for.

Those poor souls live in an artificially limited environment. This makes their soup sandwich a little more palatable.

If you really wanted to flex on the poors, you'd just carry three of these instead of a Glock with two spare mags. Call it the "California Reload". :D

I like Kel-tec..... but they remind me of Bill Murray in Caddyshack...... "hey just call me if you want to rap or get weird with somebody." Like those types of people build these guns.

Oh and you'll never find a new model of theirs until about 5 years after they are released.
I remember that used to be Ruger's thing, at least with handguns.

LOL, stripper clips.
Loaded hundreds of mags with them back in the day.
More recently at a three gun competition, one of the stages had a mag that had to be loaded. Three stripper clips were laid on the table next to the AR magazine that had to be used.
I was laughing my butt off watching the pups strip one round off the stripper clip and loading them into the mag one at a time.
When I went up there and used the stripper as designed loading the entire mag in about 5 seconds, they were amazed at how they worked.
I won that stage.
Had a Keltec P3AT in my front pocket since they first came out many moons ago. Spare mag in the opposite pocket. Last ditch SD. Most concealable firearm out there.
Love the PMR-30 in .22 mag for range plinking.
I'd buy this pistol in that caliber in a heartbeat.

I was thinking the loading manual of arms reminded me of the Styer-Hahn (IIRC) with the top loading. It wouldn’t take very much training to become useful in loading the pistol, for those of us who don’t run but bunk in place the loading sequence may be better when your think about it.

I am sure this pistol is being marketed to three groups: 1) people in states that have a ban on removable magazines with over 10 rds; 2) people who don’t shoot a lot or own very many firearms; and 3) women since the Manual of arms is easier and based on statistics 3-4 rds are generally what is dispensed in a shooting. The gun is ugly as all get out but it will sell. Why they don’t do a PMR 30 style in 5.7 for those of us who like that pistol I don’t know. I would think a 5.7 on the PMR 30 would sell a lot more guns than this new one since us, actual gun owners, would buy it all day long. Sometimes Keltec says f’it we are going to design something fugly.
