How is it?
22WMR

not bad, I think it is a good starting round and effective for self-defense.
I would only use it if you have an interchangeable .22/.22WMR like the heritage revolver.
How good is it for self defense?
I would rate it at the literal bottom of effective one shot rounds. it has ballistics as a ball round equal to a 9mm Luger, but its hollow point is about half as effective. the one up it has on .22Lr is that it can break bone like a 9mm.
to help differentiate. if I was shooting .17hmr or .22lr I would want to put a lot of rounds down range fast, but the .22WMR has enough kick i would feel comfortable only shooting once. basically it will hit with some force enough to penetrate bone where a .22lr would have a chance to deflect or wouldn't cause cavitation effectively.
Luckygunner has a good video out about it.
Obviously being rimmed+rimfire reduces its viability in autoloaders, but out of a revolver it's pretty good.
A friend of mine has an over under derringer in WMR. It's in a holster that looks like a wallet, except with a hole for access to the trigger. With that said, it really doesn't matter when you're sticking it contact distance to someone's face when they ask for your wallet.
Kinda pointless now that 17 HMR and WSM exist.
Still good for recoil averse/sensitive shooters, probably the best round out of the ultra light S&Ws for fast follow up and low recoil while still being effective.
I prefer 22 LR or one of the 17s at the end of the day

>because I have a necking fetish
Yeah but PMR-30 can't shoot em
Its good.
it's a hunting cartridge and it's fine for hunting. don't think you can load the thing into a SA revolver and have a just-as-good-as ___ "truck gun."
It works fine (like all rimfire) for defensive use as well.
You just have to aim well and accept it’s not a light switch to turn off badguys (this is like any caliber though)
Personally I’ve carried a S&W43c and I love it as a don’t have a gun gun,
I’d rather have a all stadium 32 HR or 32 SW long j frame though with 6 or 7 shots though.
That's sexy as fuck
Alas I’m exposed as a dirty phone poster.

Rimfires are prone to jamming so no
This is why I mentioned revolvers user, specifically extremely light weight ones.
If you have a misfire, pull trigger again.
It makes great fireballs out of my PMR30,
Not a bad round, but its best out of a rifle or long barrel pistol. Thought I wish it was cheaper. Its about the cost of cheap 9mm
I want a CMR30 though
This
>PMR30,
What's your opinion on it?
It bounces around and goes straight for the brain
I've got the opposite problem, have CMR, want PMR.
what 22 are you using with it
Usually CCI maxi-mags, I buy the 200 round "Choot-em" boxes, didn't even know who this guy or the show he's from when I first started buying them.
Steer clear of Aguila's stuff, OAL is too long for the Kel-Tec mags.
What's the best 22round for RMP?
