SAFE GUN HANDLING IS YOUR RESPON-
SIBILITY
The PLR-16 pistol is designed and chambered
for the 5.56mm NATO (.223 Remington)
cartridge. The type of ammunition is also stated
on the right side of the receiver. Do not use
any other ammunition.
Only use commercially manufactured ammuni-
tion, clean, dry, and in good condition. Never
use non-standard, reloaded or damaged
cartridges.
Never use ammunition where the pressure
levels exceed industry standards. Kel-Tec
guns are manufactured from high quality
materials. They will provide extended service
life. However, all warranties, expressed or
implied, are voided and Kel-Tec will not be liable
for property damage or personal injury and
consequential damages, if faulty ammunition is
used in Kel-Tec centerfire firearms.
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,
cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may
result in exposure to lead and other sub-
stances known to cause birth defects,
reproductive harm, and other serious physical
injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times.
Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
Never discharge a firearm without proper
shooting glasses and ear protection. Never
shoot at any water surface or any surface
where a ricochet can occur.
Never shoot until you are sure of your
backstop and what lies beyond it.
If the gun does not discharge after pulling the
trigger, do not change its direction for at least
30 seconds, you could be having a “hang
fire”.
Do not allow a firearm to be used by individuals
who do not understand its safe operation and
the rules of safe gun handling.
CAUTION: After firing several rounds the
forward, exterior metal parts of the PLR-16
pistol get hot and can cause severe burns.
Be sure all accessories are compatible with
the firearm and that the accessories do not
interfere with safe operation.
When transporting your firearm, be sure your
firearm is unloaded.
If you do not understand how to operate any
of our products or have any questions about
their safe handling, please write, call, or email
us.
Always be aware of other people so that they
cannot accidentally walk into the line of fire.
When firing on a target range, be alert and
follow the range officer’s commands. Never
cross obstacles such as fences or streams
with a loaded firearm.
