Pretty neat. I won't buy one though since I'm already set on an AR platform for a pistol. Now, if Kel-Tec came out with an upper for a good price... I'd buy one without hesitation
 I think the target audience is a little different than most of us here are. I will say this though.. I'm sold on the Kel-Tec Bayonet.. PLR when will these be available?! Be nice to have a bayonet that doubles as a folding knife. |

Here is my report for the first time shooting the PLR-16.
I shot it indoors at a nice range, had to use one of the two rifle lanes. Very loud, the guy next to me said to his son a couple of times, "That is a loud gun he is shooting". I let his son, about 16, rattle off ten rounds, no problems and the boy loved the gun and sight. But back to my shooting, I had two loaded 30rd mags and some loose ammo. The first mag went in and the bolt did not fully close. I pushed it foreard and fired the pistol, the next several rounds worked fine. This happened a couple of times. Of the 80 rounds I fired maybe three failures to fully close when using GI mags. This happened at first, during most of the last rounds no problems. The real big problem was using the factory mag, it jammed almost every round with a failure to feed/close. One thing I really miss on the pistol is a manual, externally operated bolt hold open control. As for accuracy, this pistol shoot pretty well, was not unhappy with that. All in all, it did okay for a new gun, needs to be broke in. The guy next to me was shooting an AR, he was have ejection problems with his rifle. |

Nice report and thanks.
Some questions: Did you take apart the gun and clean, inspect and lube it properly? I know you probably did but, just asking. Did you inspect the chamber and the edges,throat, ramp for fins, edges, burrs and remove them? Were there any extraction, or ejection problems? I did not read of any so there were probably not any. What kind/type of ammo did you use? At what distance did you shoot the gun? What were the groups like? 1" at 20 yards, 2" at 50 yards? What kind/type of mag were you using? When it failed to go into battery was that simply when you fed the first round or was it during the process of firing the whole magazine? Were the factory iron sights set about right? I have many many more questions if you are up for it. I am busting a gut to buy one of these but don't want to if the gun is a POS. Many thanks for your time. |

What I did was remove the gun from the box, operate the bolt a couple of times, dry fired it and put a couple of drops of oil onto the bolt through the ejection port. I ran a patch down the barrel to check for debris. I mounted the EOTech, grap some ammo and went to the range. My time was very limited today and I just had to shoot the gun. I was using Georgia Arms Ammo, a very good reloading company. The mags were just some olt GI mags I had laying around. I was shooting on a 25 yard range, target out about 20, final grouping was about1.5-2 inches. The first failure to go into battery was when released the bolt the first time. Afew were during firing, but the factory mag was horrible, almost all of the rounds from it. I removed the rear factory when I mounted the EOTech, did not like the way it looked.
The range I shoot at is closed on Mondays, so tomorrow I plan on breaking the gun down and going over the whole thing. If I need to, I will break out my Dremel and polish anything that might need it. I will say that it needs the optional front handguard, you don't want to touch the hot parts up front. |

Field stripped it and cleaned her up. It will be a bear if you want to polish the chamber, but I guess possible. I don't like that you can only run a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle. A good gun for a Bore Snake. Not too hard to field strip, just read the manual.
I'll let you know how the next time I shoot it goes. |

Got it yesterday [Dec.19] for $530 out the door including an extra 30 round mag.
Shot 140 rounds of Win White Box 55 grn. with no failures whatsoever. A real hoot with a huge flash and loud sound. People at the range were gasping when it went off. At my range, we don't have 25 yds. target so I did 50 and 100. Nowdays, with my poor eyesight, I don't hardly use irons but shot 3" groups at 50 and 6" at 100. Not too bad with a loosely supported pistol, shaking hands and bad eyesight. Had to adjust the elevation as it was shooting 6" high initially. As for the quality, the bolt, cam, pin etc. are very AR15 like and of good machined quality. Trigger was OK but getting a little better by the end of the session. The fun factor is really high with this gun. So far, I believe that Keltec has hit a grand-slam with this one! It is not an AR folks, OK? |

Congrads on your "it's not an AR pistol" pistol. I told you it is loud, I was shooting mine on an indoors range. Did your 10 round mag work okay for you?

Short-stroke piston design, presumably... The piston should stay within the gas-block for the entire firing cycle... Gas should vent from the gas block only... But I still preferr the AR system, anyhow... |
