Any news on the PLR-22?

I have heard rumors they may be shipping.

I keep hearing/reading "any day now."  Don't know if any have shipped or not.

IIRC, barrel blank availability was a major hold-up on these.

FWIW, the instruction manual is already up on their website...

I'm hoping them eventually turn out a conversion kit for people that own PLR-16s so they don't have to buy another firearm. Kinda like a .22lr conversion for an AR.

I can't see it.  A 22LR conversion would shoot like crap since the bore diameter and twist rate would be all wrong.

Such a low volume product would cost at least half as much as a whole new pistol, print groups like a shot gun, and be a jam-o-matic.  I'm definitely buying a PLR-22 to go along with my PLR-16.

Kel-Tec has already said they aren't going to make conversions, some of the reasons were listed by gspam1 above.  Converting a PLR/SU is a much more difficult task than doing so with an AR (requires tools, etc.)

The PLR-22 and SU-22 were made instead of conversions.
