I finally came up on a PMR-30 wait list.
I haven't shot this handgun yet because I'm undecided on keeping or selling it (I am feeling buyers remorse because I overpaid).

Loaded with 30 22 WMR rounds the handgun weighs 19.8 oz (lighter than my CM9 loaded with 7 rounds).

I've read that the velocity for 40 grain CCI bullets is 1318 fps from this handgun. This is slightly faster than a 22 LR from a Rifle. Based on some chronographing I have done with the Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 22 WMR ammo in my 351PD - I'm thinking the Speer 40 grain could hit 1400 fps from this handgun.

Just wanted to put the above out there.
Hoping that you all can provide some insight to sway me into keeping this one.
