KelTec PLR-16 5.56 NATO 9.2" 10rd Green Pistol

The PLR-16 is KelTec's rifle caliber pistol: 5.56 NATO in a handgun that weighs only about 3.4 pounds unloaded, because most of the gun is impact resistant Zytel polymer. It runs on a gas operated semi auto system and stows easily in a pack, which is why KelTec pitches it for small game hunting, hiking and range days. This version has a green frame and grip.

The 9.2 inch barrel is threaded 1/2-28 for a compensator or flash hider, and KelTec sells an optional compact forend, sling mount and arm brace adapter kit if you want to build it out. An integrated Picatinny rail on top takes an optic, and adjustable iron sights come on the gun, so it is usable out of the box. It comes with one 10 round magazine and also feeds from standard AR-15 magazines, so the mags you already own for your rifle will work. The safety is ambidextrous. Expect plenty of noise and flash from a rifle cartridge out of a short barrel; that is part of the deal with any pistol in this class, and part of the fun at the range.
