[QUOTE="0311, post: 2181933, member: 26943"] PMR-30 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. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Calibers: .22 Magnum (.22WMR) Weight unloaded: 13.6oz. 385.6g Loaded Magazine: 6oz. 170.1g Length: 7.9" 200.7mm Height: 5.8" 147.3mm Width: 1.3" 33.0mm Barrel length: 4.3" 109.2mm Sight radius: 6.9" 175.3mm Energy (40gr): 138ft-lbs 187J Capacity: 30 rounds Trigger pull: 4-6 lbs 17.8-26.7N Slide and barrel are 4140 steel, frame is 7075 aluminum.
