I'm like naw, can't be, so I walk over and holy cow batman... yep... really couldn't believe it. I grabbed the clerk by the hair and said how bout write this up for me.... :D Gen 2 $429.99.

Wow, that looks like one of them "insult" weapons all those nerthern Liberals complain about. Folded up real tight like, it'd hide under my front seat. I've never seen one in person, but I like how decisive the OP here is.

Truth is I've been wanting one for a while but they are very difficult to find and pretty expensive on gun broker....

didn't take a lot of thought. ;)
 
Excellent find!!! Found mine a few weeks ago. They are scarce as hen's teeth around here. Sadly, I paid more than you. :(

Should give a brief range report, I guess. Dead on at 25 yards right out of the box. 200 rounds through it with no failures. Used the provided (Mecgar) 10 round magazine, factory Glock 33s and aftermarket Korean made 33 round magazines. All functioned flawlessly. I had a little concern about the Korean magazines, I had read some bad reviews. But in my case, there were no issues. May look at picking up a few more.

I actually just bought a Hi-Point cause I didn't want to pay a premium on one of these. I'll take them out side by side and chute um...:eek:

I'm telling ya that's the only way you'll find one of these anymore. I stumbled onto one almost 2 months ago at my LGS. One of the guys said, "yep I just put it out at 10:30am" (it was. 12:30pm). He said he couldn't believe it lasted that long. My guy even split the difference in tax. Got it for $405 OTD.

I approve of owning either the Hi Point or the Kel Tec. Both have been very good to me!

I went and bought 9 of the Glock PMags (at my local Rural King) & haven't had an issue yet.
Well except, I've put over 700 rds through mine in less than 2 months already.
$ ouch

Hopefully we can get a range report on the new generation. It looks like they added rails and possibly the front sight is upgraded (?).

The prior generation was notorious for a front sight that could not be adjusted to center but customer service from Kel-tec was good and they would fix it. The 9mm version with Glock magazines is reliable and with the front sight fixed it consistently hits an 8" x 8" steel plate at 100 yards from a rest.

Correct, new adjustable front site with rails and M-LOK slots.

It appears that the CMR-30 (30-shot .22 WMR carbine) is now being made in quantity.

A few months ago the only place I had seen any was on Gunbroker, at about $1000. :eek: This past weekend I saw one at a gun show marked at $750, so I checked GB again and they are readily available at $650 plus shipping. I did find one at $620 and only $25 shipping so it's on its way. :)

Okay, nice find but, what kind of ammo and holster did you buy?

Someone in Academy woke up. I bought an S&W M&P R8 there last week. I was used to only seeing pink Rugers and Taurus Judges.
