The PLR-16 is a gas operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered in 5.56mm NATO caliber. It was designed and intended as a long range target and hunting pistol. It has a conventional gas piston operation and utilizes the proven M-16 breech locking system. The rear sight is adjustable for windage. The front sight is of M-16 type. An integrated MIL-STD 1913 picatinny rail will accept a multitude of standard accessories. The muzzle end of the barrel is threaded .5-28 TPI to accept standard attachments such as a muzzle brake. Except for the barrel, bolt, sights and mechanism, the PLR-16 pistol is made entirely of high-impact glass fiber reinforced polymer.
We like our pistol caliber carbines, but we also like our rifle caliber pistols. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the PLR16 is an excellent option for small game hunting, hiking, turning heads at range day or any situation that requires a rifle caliber in a pistol platform. It accepts standard AR-15 magazines and it’s ready for customization to fit your needs.

Feature:
- Construction: the PLR16 is made of 4140 steel where it matters and high-strength, impact resistant Zytel where it sheds pounds
- Take it hunting, mountain climbing, camping, back country exploring or whatever you can throw at it, the PLR16 is light, but she can handle it
- Modular – although we do not recommend suppressing the PLR16, it features a 9 inches barrel that is threaded 1/2×28 to accommodate your choice of compensator or flash hider
- Modular – we also offer an optional compact forend, sling mount and arm brace adapter kit to set it up for your needs, iron sights are provided, however there’s an integrated Picatinny-style rail for mounting your favorite optic
- Compact – in usual KelTec fashion, the PLR16 offers a lightweight, compact solution to a rifle caliber problem
- Compact – although it has a stout, smooth and reliable gas system, this pistol stows nicely in a pack and comes with a flush-fit 10-rounds lead dispenser, or, you can run any AR-15 compatible magazines
- Pistol package – rifle power
- Featherweight – pistol – long range
- Versatile – compact – firepower

1 year agoFor home, vehicle, and your BUGOUT bag(!)... You are NOT going to get a more compact combination of effective range, magazine capacity, and overall cost of operation(!). DEAL WITH IT* The only comparable product is the Rock River PDS pistol and you can purchase THREE OF THESE to just ONE Rock River(!)...

1 year agoFun shooter: Should have stuck with mostly alluminum and skipped the polymer, but very nice anyway! Sights could be better for such a High-Tech appearance; suggest adding a Reflex style. No issues with fireing or cycling after the first ten-or-so rounds, She is a bit "stiff" when brandnew. Suggest high-quality magazines, like Colt; does not always like the cheap knock-offs. Keep her clean; light-on the oil. Very nice.

1 year agoAccurate, small, light, and powerful, No other "pistol" in it's class. If you like loud report and concussion this is the gun for you if not throw on a linear comp or blast shield and and it is much more enjoyable. Iron sights are accurate but a red (or green) dot sight really helps with this gun. a Hand guard is a good addition as well as a sling. Lot of punch in a small package. fits in a 5.11 moab rush 10 sling pack. I put magpul sl carbine length handguard on it, was a hassle but worth it in the end. 1-2 point sling is the way to go.

1 year agoPLR16 is perfect the way it is. It’s a blast to shoot. Great backup to the AR. I even made a Kydex holster for it. Thought it might be too big for a single hand shooter (before I got it) but it’s not.
