This was a very MOOOOOOOving presentation.

Best gun channel period. No BS. No hacky shit. No sponsors. Just quality, educated opinions and a smooth ass voice.

I always smile when Paul describes himself as an average shooter.

I'm so glad there are a few people left with integrity. Paul is certainly one of those people.

Just when I thought I was going to have a boring day Paul saves it

Paul Harrell reviewing a Keltech? be still my heart...

Many channels have their signature methods that make them memorable. 1) reading a chronograph from 7 yards away 2) properly wrapping fruit with clothing 👍

KelTec is building a new production facility here in Wyoming. While I was never a huge fan of their stuff, I recently got a P17 that is one of the most fun firearms I've ever owned, and some of their other offerings are becoming more refined, reliable and better-featured, while remaining affordable. I hope it is a trend which continues.

great show. as a non gun owner, total novice, the main reason I watch these productions is to begin to understand the world of fire arms, fire arms owners to some extent, and to learn from Pauls style of presentation, argumentation, knowing he has my back in this and all debates. logic, honesty, integrity are fine base lines for any presentation.

*_HAPPY THANKSGIVING,_** to you and yours Paul Harrell! And to everyone, everywhere as well.* 👍👍& 10k⭐

Paul, I can go shoot whenever I want. I come to listen to you test, analyze and critically interpret results. There's nothing boring about hearing you talk. Sometimes I zone out while you're shooting, but I always come back when you start to talk. I think you're a great teacher. Thanks for sharing.

Paul is so polite, always thanking me for my patience.

"And two" that cracked me up. Nice subtle way to stick it to the "EXPERTS", thanks for the laugh.

I love guns, however, I have zero interest in 5.7x28, and 22wmr. I watched this entire video, and enjoyed it because it’s Paul Harrell!! Thank you Mr. Harrell.

That Bird Flip was Smooth 😂

Paul you never let me down with the one finger point of understanding. Love it. Thanks for a true unbiased channel. Hey it’s close to thanksgiving. It’s time to shoot the leftovers guns. The judge and what ever ammo is left on the store shelves. That’s about all they are good for.

Nothing cures a hangover like being out on our "range" today.

I am a Ruger fan, but magazines dropping out of a rifle at random is a deal breaker. The Keltec seems to be very solid and the overall weight and size of that implement is very attractive. I’m sure some Ruger obsessive is going to read that comment, and say to himself, “How compelling…please face the wall.”

I'd rather have.22 magnum due to ammo prices. If I need more power, I'll step up to.556 or.223. Thanks for the video! I enjoy all of them!

Every time Paul mentions two things I sit up and look for the inevitable bird.. It never disappoints

Both calibers really moooooove it down range.

Those cows are excited for the review.

Regarding reloading at 29:00, I have owned and have shot my CMR-30 for a few years now and I developed a reload technique that works very well, for both tactical and speed reloads. Essentially you use the meat at the bottom of your palm to trip the release while reaching for your next magazine with your shooting hand, and catch the outgoing mag in the process. You can then either simply drop it, or stow it while retrieving your next mag. Seat the magazine and snug it in with your pinky as you replace your shooting grip. When done, it combines the ejecting and replacing process all into one fluid motion. It takes practice, but when you master this technique it really does work well. There's the obvious concern of using your shooting hand vs your support hand to reload, but I personally like my support hand keeping the rifle on target. This technique obviously does not work with the PMR-30 pistol. I developed this independently of any instructor or demonstration I could find, and in searching I've never seen or heard of anyone else using this technique (The CMR-30 is a very unique rifle). Also, regarding loading the magazines themselves, I find if you load it just as if you were loading a typical handgun magazine, you should be good to go. If you notice (Which I am sure you did), the retention lips on the mag have a wider portion near the middle for the rim to pass through. Push down and back with this opening letting the rim through. Give the base of the mag a good smack in your palm every 5 rounds or so to ensure everything is seated right and you should be good to go. Personally I like the granny tool since it makes loading the magazines fun (My monkey brain likes to push button and make click) but they can effectively be loaded by hand, it just takes practice. Sometimes text can convey a tone not originally intended, so I want to make clear that I'm being 100% constructive, if anything came off condescending or facetious that wasn't my intent. Love the presentations, always excited to see more!

The bird gets me every time. I may be 41 but I giggle like a teenager every single time.

Me patiently wait for the thanksgiving day special 🦃 🤤

mcarbo make upgrade kits for keltec products; polished feed ramps, billet aluminum parts etc. they really turn PMR/CMRs into effective platforms.

Harrell is the planet's best shooting Dental Assistant.

This is a great vid, particularly the beeves bawl'n in the mic back-ground! Very interesting these bullet velocities. Thanks. (Miss those pop-tart intros!)

Im sitting here in the UK, its raining (of course) cup of tea in one hand, wondering why im not living in the states.....

Just when I'm considering a CMR30 for purchase Paul releases a video about it. Fantastic stuff as per usual.

Hi Paul ! T day 2 days . Looking forward to you special . Ham and yam was great ! Advice on dating true . I wish the industry would get past short barrels . Shoot your muzzle loaders for us . I liked you cap and ball revolver . My new neighbor is a disabled Marine . Highest respect and gratitude .

My CMR-30 snapped its firing pin this summer. Only around 1200 rds thru it. Keltec was kind enough to send me two replacement firing pins. Not sure if I got a bad one but I was told it may have been bad heat treating. Other than that it's been a great/fun gun.

Always enjoy Paul showing the 'Ammo Geek Nerds' who's #1.

A video just in time for my coffee, excellent! Thank you!

I can ALWAYS trust this channel for ammo and firearms results. Great content as always, Paul!

That flip-off was perfect.

How is he not at a million subscribers yet is beyond me

If Paul ever wants to change the name of this channel for some reason, or create a second channel, here is the name that will give everyone a chuckle: The Average Shooter

7:57 Paul casually flipping off the people who insist he should be using Mil/LE only ammo for the 5.7.

Just hours away from the Thanksgiving Special! I'm looking forward to that moreso than my in-laws!!!

My single shot Little Badger in 22WMR got me through the great ammo shortage of 2020, and only recently I decided to upgrade to a semi-auto. The rounds are so accurate out of a 16 inch barrel, I just decided to get an A22 with a 22 inch barrel.

fantastic video Paul. thanks for making it and sharing.

Another great presentation, Paul Thanks !!

I'm eagerly awaiting the 2022 thanksgiving special. I've made it tradition to watch at my parents house whilst preparing our own thanksgiving dinner. As always, a very informative presentation. Edit: I agree that a forward assist of some sort is a must on any semi-auto rifle/carbine. A clean rifle may not need it often, but if you aren't keeping up with your cleaning or encounter ammo the action doesn't agree with, you'll find yourself wishing your go to rifle had a forward assist.

Fantastic video, Paul. Best channel on KZfaq

'Supremely' detailed and useful, Paul! Thanks so much for the work you do.

Entertaining and informative presentation as usual PH, thank you!

A point of appreciation for Paul's presentations: You can tell Paul is using high quality meat in his meat targets. In fact, it's so fresh that you can hear it protesting if you listen carefully enough.

I will be adding the CMR-30 to go with my PMR-30 as another bug out option, same mags and same ammo is a real plus, you can carry lots of 22 mag without adding a lot of extra weight as well. And as always, Sir you make very entertaining and informative videos, Thank you

Thanks Paul! Wish there were more teachers out there with your knowledge and humility. Keep putting out content and I’ll keep learning!

62 years old and I'm still a child, I would use tallywhacker ammo just so I could say I did. great job once again. That 5.7x.28 I would think would compare better to .22 hornet, but that ammo isn't so easy to acquire

Paul is a national treasure.

Thorough, objective review. Even your subjective assessments, you clarified as such. 👍 The PMR 30 also comes with two 30-round magazines, and I've found them completely interchangeable between the two guns. That's 120 rounds at your ready disposal when you buy the pair.

Paul's sense of humor on display, pointing to himself saying "the average shooter"!

I really appreciate the quality of your audio and video. I am not a gun-guy, and have nothing against them, but your videos are very enjoyable. Thanks, Paul.

Amazing video as always Paul. I’m doing a series on 22 mag for home defense right now with tons of ballistic tests and am so glad you did this video. If you don’t mind I’ve shared the heck out of this video already.

A lot of KZfaqrs create content. Paul Harrell makes presentations.

Another quality video from Paul Harrel. Thank you Sir.

I had just looked at one of these the other day at my local shop. Good to see you testing it!

Grand effort all around. It speaks volumes that dang near every comment is about your presentation. To this, I say bravo. As well, the content "versus" match is one I've always wanted to see. I find myself routinely chewing for the under dog, it's good to see it came out on top this time. Kudos to Kel-Tec.

Ok. I’ll delay going to the store to watch this.

I watched your whole video from start to finish. The presentation is exceptionally informative.

I was so Moooootivated to watch this latest vid from Paul. Happy Thanksgiving everybody

I need to find this Sub 4 Tallywacker ammo.

I hope this doesn’t mean we aren’t going to get the annual Thanksgiving episode too

Thanks Paul for your assessment of the CMR 30.

Thanks for the pre-Thanksgiving appetizer Paul!

I have the PMR 30 and it does come with a learning curve to get familiar with loading the magazine, it can be a pain the get the last 5 shells in it. Mine did loosen up a bit after a few boxes of ammo and I enjoy shooting it, it’s a lot cheaper to plink with than a larger handgun . Any day having a good time with guns can’t be all bad. Great video as always.

As a long time 22 Magnum fan, I understand your choice of 40 grain for the little magnum based on traditional loadings, but out of curiosity, I checked my vast collection of 22 magnums. I literally have one box of 40 grain projectiles. The majority are 31 or 33. They are much faster and flatter shooting then the older traditional loadings. Speed wise, they are definitely comparable to the 5.7 albeit with a lighter projectile. The damage they do is pretty impressive and is why I use them instead of the 40 grain. I use 45 and 50 grain for specific purposes as well. But, I do find the 5.7 very interesting and would love to see manufacturers produce small, high quality, carry pistols in that caliber, as I think they would be great for my daughters and many others, and be more reliable than a rimfire. It doesn’t seem nearly as versatile as the 22 magnum regarding different bullet weights, bullet construction, and firearms offered , but for self defense purposes, I definitely see the benefit. Thanks for the video.

Another great video. No nonsense and the info really is helpful. Either of these PCC’s would be handy to keep in a go-bag as a possible option to a .22 LR. Very interesting, thank you Paul.

Great video Paul! Thanks for all you do.

As I am “poor”, I’ll likely never be able to afford most of the weapons Paul reviews, but I definitely enjoy all of his presentations and insights. Thanks for another great Video!! 🇺🇸

Great "grumpy old man" video! Informative as usual, always educational, and entertaining. Reference those mags, if I need more than thirty or sixty rounds for shooting varmint, I need either a new eyeglass prescrip or a much smaller property. Always good to know that there's another Marine out there my age who is more stuck in his ways than I am. Completely with you about the forward assist, those young whippersnackers have no idea what they're talking about.

Another well thought out and informative video. Thank you.

Can’t believe I just found your channel. Awesome stuff. You clearly know what you’re talking about and have a great attention to detail

V Max is considered a varmint bullet, but as many reloaders have found out, if reloaded to a slower velocity they will hold together and make a nice mushroom. I've tried it myself and saw it with my own eyes.

Straight up honest review, good points presented that I may not have thought of, but very important! I have to give it to kilter for consistent outside the box thinking, though not always nicely executed. Excellent video!

Another well-presented video brought to us by Paul and the crew. Thank you all very much.

Thanks for the detailed review Paul! Always entertaining and enlightening!!!

There is a trick to loading PMR/CMR magazines that only requires your hands. Yes, they still take an inordinate amount of concentration. If you hold the magazine in your dominant hand so the spine is towards your palm, you use your index finge to push round down and in while your non-dominant hand feeds rounds. At about round 15, you have to begin tapping the mag between rounds. Yeah, it's a process.

Folks either love KEL TEC or hate them. I enjoy the three I have... 💥🔫🤠 Yee Haw

Great review of the plusses and minuses. Thanks Paul.

Loved this video extremely informative while having a good touch of user thought and compatibility

Great video, as always, Paul. I've had a CMR-30 for several years. It's sort of a novelty gun, for me, bought because I love the Kel-Tec "Space Gun" looks. I've put probably close to 1000 rounds through it, mostly at the range, and it's performed very well. As I was watching the video, I couldn't recall having any magazine loading issues with mine, so I pulled out my magazines and loaded them up to 30 rounds while watching. They both loaded to full capacity without any assistive devices, or issues (unloading them kind of sucked, though). Obviously, that doesn't reflect your experience, and, as we all know, anecdotes do not equal data, but that issue may not be universal to all PMR/CMR magazines. Thanks again for the great videos!

Only advantage to the 5.7 is you can reload it. The fragmenting depending on use is the only downside. Thanks for the information, Paul, another great video.

As always , you have great info

Filled the 40 min wait for the Aus vs France World Cup game. Paul you're a genius

Still in the middle of the 114 shuffle here in Oregon, a very dark time for the country. Perhaps after this settles down you could consider a video on the effects extreme temperature changes from leaving magazines and ammunition in a vehicle for days or weeks might have on reliability and accuracy. Anyways, thank you for the wealth of knowledge and entertainment you give freely to the world, it is appreciated.

First shot, 2020. Both the velocity, and the vision needed to read the chronograph at that distance.

Great video as always Paul, thanks a ton And man you weren't kidding, that sun was setting *fast* !

Thank you for sharing! Nicely done

I got a CMR 30 and there is no gun in my safes that I like more. Everything that Paul mentioned is consistent with my experience, hate the mag release but LOVE Everything else.

Always interesting and informative content. Thank you.

Never a dull evening when a Paul Harrel video is up. Thank you sir for the comparison. Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.

I'll have you know that Sub-Four Tallywacker is absolutely worth presenting as viable ammunition. Officially banned though it is from the civilian market, acquiring it is as easy as going to your local Dollar General and telling that one guy (you know the one) that you "simply must receive *the business* he has to offer, and won't take 'no' for an answer." You may need to throw in a wink to convince him you're cool.

Great review / comparison Paul...I've been looking at both of these and i am a long time fan of 22mag for varmits. Since that's all i would use it for anyway and i like the savings on ammo, weight and compactness going for keltec. Better options than both of these for shtf

As always, a great video Paul, thank you.

Paul, love you dude. You always make me laugh, in the best way. Most of all I love your attention to detail and your concise speech. Keep it up, I'm a fan for life.

Love my CMR. Even though. 22 mag isn't cheap it's a lot cheaper and easier to find than the 57. For my use here on the farm the super lightweight CMR and it's 30 round mags make it awesome.
