The Well-Appointed PLR-16


Everyone knows how much fun I feel these Kel-Tecs to be, because firearms fall into two categories, need and want, and for me this is the latter.

As two owners of such weapons have indicated to me, they are fun plinking and varmint pistols, and even Crazy Jay is thinking of getting one, but of course for all the wrong reasons. Shadetree gunsmith extraordinare, Jay believes he can easily adapt the PLR for full-auto, and sure, it'd be a hoot but so illegal as to warrant an all expenses paid trip to Club Fed thank you very much. There are far better home defense weapons than modified Han Solo sidearm look-alikes, so the NEED category is absurd.

Then again, as poor a shot as he is, spray and pray might be a viable alternative to run and hide, but that's why the good Lord made shotguns.
