The Kel-Tec PLR-22 is a .22 LR semi-automatic pistol built for shooters who want a lightweight, high-capacity rimfire platform for plinking, small-game hunting, or just having fun at the range without breaking the bank on ammo. At under 3 pounds unloaded and chambered in economical .22 Long Rifle, this black pistol rewards accuracy practice and friendly competition with minimal recoil and maximum trigger time for your dollar. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to the sport or stocking a truck gun for varmint control, the PLR-22 delivers straightforward, reliable performance in a no-frills package.

The 10.1-inch barrel sits atop an 18.5-inch overall length, giving you a longer sight radius (12.5 inches) than most handguns—a genuine advantage for precision shooting at distance. That extended sight line means easier target acquisition and tighter groups, whether you're zeroing in at 25 yards or pushing your skills further. The trigger breaks between 5.5 and 7.5 pounds, offering a predictable let-off that works for both casual plinkers and competitive shooters. And with 26-round magazine capacity (Atchison-compatible), you'll spend less time reloading and more time shooting—a quality-of-life upgrade that .22 lovers will immediately appreciate.

Kel-Tec has built a solid reputation for innovative, utilitarian firearms that don't apologize for their simplicity. The PLR-22 follows that formula: no unnecessary features, clear sights, honest ergonomics. It's a straightforward tool for shooters who value practicality and value, not flash. If you're after a dedicated .22 handgun for training, small-game work, or just putting lead downrange on a budget, this one deserves serious consideration.
