i heard from two good friends who own gun shops... they said kel tek
is a good handgun for CCW, people on gunbroker forum said no
 
Just like any gun, if you like it, and you can shoot it well, and you will actually carry it, then it's a good gun. My CHL instructor has one and swears by it, but says that while his wife has one, she shoots it, but hates the recoil. I shot it, it's snappy but not unmanageable.

I had a P3-AT. I liked it but the cost of 380 ammo was a bit too much for me. The cost for 380 ammo is coming down so I many pick another one up. It's a great summer carry. You hardly feel it. Recoil is snappy. Not a gun you want to shoot more than 50 rounds at a time. The sights are poor but there are laser options for the Kel-Tec and the Ruger LCP which is pretty much a clone. Mine functioned perfectly. Trigger was a long pull but you got used to it. I really miss it. IMO it is a great gun.
 
I have a P-3AT with a Crimson Trace laser and I carry it in a Crossbreed Mini Tuck holster. Loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 90gr FTX.
When I carry it under just a t-shirt nobody knows it.
At first I asked people that know I carry to check to see if they could see it and nobody could. Now I don't worry about it and sometimes forget that its even there.
The P-3AT hasn't had any problems, the CT laser keeps it on target, the Crossbreed is great.
I have other carries but for a t-shirt day this works.
 
I have 2 P3AT's and a P11.
One of the P3AT's is in my pocket all the time--usually not as primary carry but as a back up.
I haven't carried the P11 in awhile just because I've been carrying something else.
All of them shoot just fine and are great for what they are--a self defense gun.
Not good range guns and not really fun to shoot and I think that KT had to work extra hard to make a trigger that bad on the P11 but...
I like them for what they are designed to do--small and easily concealed and they work
 
My son and i both have one and both work very well not a target gun but a nice backup. I do not thank you could go wrong with one.
 
KEL-TEC makes wonderful products. Can't wait for the new PMR30 to come out. Should be a great target, varmint gun! I am also considering carrying it for CC as it is a 22 WMR with a 30 round capacity.
 
I've had Kel-Tec's for a long time. Let's see...I have two P11's, a P40, A P11 with a 357 sig conversion, a PF9, a P32, a P3AT and a Sub 2000 9mm with Beretta mags. I have a PMR30 on order waiting on their release. I'm also looking for a RFB but haven't been able to find one. For the money, customer service and lifetime warranty you can't beat a Kel-Tec!
 
i had a p3at and sold it to a friend..i dont know why i did that cuz i miss it..put many rounds thru it with no problems at all..just kinda uncomfortable to fire cuz its so small..keltec is worth the $ and would buy another
 
I picked up a used P11 at Cabelas for $100. It had some surface rust and pitting on the exterior of the slide, along with some light rust on the underside of the slide and inside the barrel and feed ramp. A little rust/blue remover and a lot of sanding and polishing and it turned out pretty good looking.

A good thorough cleaning and it's good as new. I've put about 300 rounds through it so far with no problems whatsoever. I had never intended to buy a Keltec because of the mixed reviews I've read. Granted, they have a great reputation for customer service, but I don't want to have to send it away for repair to begin with. Well, for $100 I couldn't resist. Now I'm glad I bought it and would not hesitate to buy another one.

One of these days, I'll get a picture of it uploaded.
