Kel-Tec's PLR22 brings AR-platform reliability to .22 LR in a lightweight, customizable pistol. Accepts standard AR22 magazines, features a threaded barrel and Picatinny rail for optics. Built tough with steel and impact-resistant polymer.
The PLR22 represents a thoughtful approach to .22 LR pistol design. This is a firearm built for those who understand that accuracy and reliability matter, regardless of caliber.
Kel-Tec engineers this pistol with purpose. The barrel and receiver are forged from 4140 steel—the same material found in quality rifle barrels. The frame and grip are machined from Zytel, a high-strength polymer that resists impact while keeping overall weight manageable. This combination means you get durability where it counts and weight savings where they matter.
Barrel and Sights:
Magazine Compatibility: The PLR22 accepts standard AR22 magazines, giving you access to affordable, readily available ammunition storage options.
Action: A reliable blowback system ensures consistent function. This is straightforward engineering—no complexity, just dependable operation.
This pistol excels at small game hunting, extended-range plinking, and backcountry exploration. The longer sight radius and threaded barrel make it suitable for precision work at distances where most .22 LR pistols struggle. Whether you're hiking, camping, or spending a day at the range, the PLR22 adapts to your needs.
The integrated rail and modular design invite personalization. Add an optic, a suppressor-compatible muzzle device, or a light—the platform supports your vision for the firearm.
