Kel Tec PLR-22 Pistol In .22 Long Rifle
ByKel Tec has introduced the new PLR-22 pistol. From Kel Tec:
The PLR-22 pistol is chambered for the popular and economical .22 Long Rifle cartridge (.22LR). It is based on the 5.56mm NATO chambered PLR-16 pistol and 
shares many parts including the grip and front and rear sights. The PLR-22 is not a simple conversion kit, it is a standalone firearm chambered for the .22LR and is designed for target shooting, plinking, or small game hunting.
The PLR-22 operates by blowback action and has a 4140 steel bolt that rides on steel guide rails inside the polymer receiver. The ejector is attached to one of the guide rails and the recoil spring is located above the barrel. The cross-bolt safety and magazine release operate identically to the PLR-16.
The PLR-22 will accept many of the same accessories as the PLR-16 including the slings, stocks, and compact forend. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and the front sight is adjustable for elevation. An integrated picatinny rail on top will accept a multitude of sighting options. The muzzle end of the barrel is threaded ½”-28 to accept standard attachments such as a muzzle brake. A 26 round semi-transparent magazine is included and it will accept magazines designed for the Atchison M-16 conversion.

Gemtech makes one that fits. Outback II surpressor. Works with 1/2″ threaded barrel of the plr 22. Costs around $300.00 plus a one time fee to the BATF of $200.00 to license the surpressor for civilian use. So for about $500.00 all you hear is a little more than the pin click when you pop off rounds! Nice.
