ballardw ,
Do you type in what you are seaching for like "Holsters for 1911" in the little space provided and then move over and hit the "GO" button ?
How many letters are best to use ... the least words the better ? Holster 1911 ?
I'm not looking for a holster just trying to learn how to do a search ...
I'm 73 and computer illiterate ... and got no teacher or help !
It looks like most of the search uses "keywords" so it will attempt to find posts or threads with all of the words by default, if I understand correctly.
I used "PMR30" for the search to get the results shown. You may need to try variations on spelling like PMR-30 as well.
Number of letters is likely to be less important than "common" spelling. With keyword type searches just use the important part. "For" "of" "and" "the" and such won't typically help much if at all.
There is an "advanced" option that allows you to set some additional limits such as dates.

Also Gary, all the words don’t need to fit in the box. Whatever you type will be there, just out of sight. Do you do YouTube? There are a bunch of PMR 30 reviews on there. Nice you learn it you will be on it constantly. Virtually, how to do anything, is on there. I use it to watch gun disassembly and reassembly. And reviews of new guns. Great resource and entertainment.
To Linker, only person I know who bought one sold it because it malfunctioned too much. Some YouTube reviewers found it would work with one brand of ammo and not others.
Good performer
Shot my buddy's and it performed very well. I feel that gun owners measure the looks and performance. The priority is not always the same. I go back and forth and personally found these to be short on looks but good on performance. I don't think I'll buy one but, glad my buddy let me shoot his. .....
Be Safe !!!
I'm glad that you asked "this" question.....

What browser are you using?
I've seen some pretty different behavior, and getting worse, about browser specific behavior/misbehavior. May need to post a question in the Site Questions and Tech Support area.
Also for the "Search this forum" label to appear you have to be on a main topic page such as the Handguns: The Semi-automatic. Once you are inside a topic such as yours then the search is restricted to that thread. The Search with the dropdown arrow should get to advanced and other searches.
If from the main page you go to the FAQ link there is a "General Forum Usage" page that links to "Forums, Threads and Posts" that has a very small section on searches: https://thefiringline.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_search

Only ammo mine doesn't swallow well is Winchester Wildcat. Manual says 40 gr bullets or heavier but I've had no problems with the 30 gr polymer tips from Hornady or CCI.
Most 22 mag ammo was designed around rifles and will produce a lot of flash and bang out of a handgun. Suggest Speer Gold Dots, Hornady Critical Defense or equivalent for business purposes.

I few months ago, I picked up a used PMR30 at the local gunshop. Price was great, and I had 3 folks who, due to age and or injury really had trouble with M&P EZ and even slicked up revolvers. I had been looking for something that was better than 22LR but easier than 9mm or .38SPL. There has been a proliferation of .22WMRs and when the Punch came out, and recalling this thread, I did some research.
Anyway, I got a 500 count brick of .22WMR on sale, and a few boxes of Remington. Still have not been able to buy Punch, but I did get 20 rounds from a friend and a box of the Gold Dots.
At the range, from 25 yards, I was able to shoot 5" 10 shot groups. At 7 yards, I was able to keep 20 rounds in the -0 zone of an IDPA target with an average split of 0.22 seconds.
One of the three, I have taken to the range and he was very pleased with the PMR30, and bought one the next day. His is loaded with Gold Dots, but he is looking for Punch. He is a 79 year old Viet Nam vet with some pretty bad nerve damage and limited dexterity. As compared to the .380 EZ, his operation of the PMR30 was significantly better. Grouping was half the size, and faster. He was able to load the magazines and operate the pistol much easier as well.

I had a passive interest in the PMR30 for years, but concluded that a 30 rd .22 Mag didn't offer me something I needed, but with the release of the S&W I consider that to be a superior design and worth the extra money.
If I wanted a .22 Mag semi, I would get the S&W and this is coming from someone who doesn't own any S&W's and generally doesn't care for the brand.

That is what I thought until I shot, and handled the S&W, then bought the PMR30.

Care to go into detail why you went with the Kel Tec instead?
Better trigger, lighter, easier to rack the slide. Cost was a factor, but even for the same dollars, I preferred the PMR30.
Not saying the S&W is bad at all. Just for what I wanted it for, the KT was a better choice. And that is primarily for training, and possible SD use by older folks or those with injuries that prevent them from shooting and operating a 9mm.
I picked up a PMR30 some years ago. I like the gun. It has been reliable, easy to carry and fun to shoot. It is not particularly accurate at 50 yards which is where I like to shoot.
I bought the gun because the price was right and because I wanted to balance it with an FN FiveSeven. The FN is bigger, heavier and more accurate. The KelTec is easier to carry and wildly cheaper to shoot.
