The proportions look a little odd, and the name is...wimpy. but otherwise I'm intrigued.

According to the specs, it’s almost the same size as a Beretta 92. That does seem kind of big for a .22, but it’s probably going to be easy shooting with .22WMR.ETA: Just watched the videos... That thing looks YUGE!
My biggest beef with the PMR is that it’s held together with half a box of cap screws. Just, ugh….22 wmr has a case length over 1''. that makes it longer than 9mm and .45acp by a significant margin.
a long case length makes for a long, tall grip. and a long action. stick a 4'' or 5'' inch barrel and you've got a FULL size pistol.
half the capacity of the pmr, twice the weight, basically the same size. seems the biggest thing going for it is the slide cut, there aren't many optic ready .22 wmr pistols on the market that come to mind. the pmr has an aftermarket attachment part, but i have no personal experience with it and i don't shoot pistol optics.
i like walthers and have a nice collection, so i'll probably get one at some point if they come around $400. but the pmr/pcr combo is the way to go imo.
