I was finally able to pick up a kel-tec PMR and I was target shooting at my dad's house in VA with my new gun using CCI 22 WMR ammo and after 2 mags of shooting kaboom! I inspected the gun and was able to extract the shell casing from the barrel (pretty easy) minus the head from the shell casing. I put gun back together (I was not going to fire it again) just to function check it and of course the slide will not rack smoothly and would get "hung up" a closer inspection revealed that the slide seemed slightly warped and a nick in the slide rail. Now, do you think CCI will make good? I checked kel-tec website and a new slide is about $100bucks complete and assembled with everything. I know I should send the gun back to kel-tec. This is my second kaboom in 4 yrs. My first one was a Kahr K40 (no fault of the gun) and was using NEW federal ammo which blew up in my face (case head seperation) . I called federal and it turned out the ammo was recalled years earlier. Federal made good on everything. Here's a pic of the shell casing. BTW this ammo is recommended by Kel-tec.
