I can also see reasons one would choose this pistol for its capacity, kinetic energy from the round, and the quality of the firearm. I think the PMR only has capacity on its side. The quality of most Kel-tec firearms leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. The rounds are similar in velocity and size, but I think the 5.7 is light years ahead of the .22mag as far as bullet performance once a target is struck and is a viable self defense round.
Dunno about all Kel-Tecs... AFAIK (and FWIW) nutnfancy loves his PF9. The PMR did seem have a lot of feeding issues early on. I don't know if they've fixed it yet, or maybe that model just has a long break-in period. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has any quality issues with Kel-Tec's RFB.
I'll rephrase my quality bash, I think the fit and finish leave quite a bit to be desired.
From the little actual experience with them that I've had, I'll agree with that (except the RFB that I got to handle at the Bullet Trap, and that's the only one of those I've ever seen in person).
