What about Kel-Tec?

[blksheep 466]

What about Kel-Tec? Who has any of thier handguns and what do they think of them. I was considering getting the PF-9 just to have. Any thoughts?

[Jon 264]

Kel Tec is usually regarded as a sub-par firearm, since they are made cheaply. From what I have read and people I have talked to, I think the PF-9 would make a great carry gun if you put 1-2k rounds of ammo through it without failure. Keltec customer service seems to be very good if you get a dud, though.

j0n- As I agree about testing for reliability and most quality firearms are made to last a lifetime, 1-2k rounds out of a Kel Tec may be exactly what the expected life if the pistol is. Just my $.02

I have 700 rounds threw my pf9 I do carry it. I've never had a jam or misfire. It's fairly accurate for what it is 10yd or less. Full mag at slow pace all in head rapid string center mass no fliers I trust it.

I acuse others of being snobs specifically with AR's. Well, I may be guilty of being a pistol snob in this case. I'm sure that Kel Tec is a very serviceable pistol. I certainly meets the price point for an economical defense gun.

[lunker 274]

I think Keltec may be the most innovative gun maker out there now, and they always price their products for the average buyer. I have liked every gun of theirs I tried. All funtioned without problems. My biggest gripe is how long their products take to get to market.

[blksheep 466]

I had a SUB 2000 a few years back before they became soo popular and sold it. Man now I am regretting that move. Have considered getting another one, but good luck finding them. I had one more permit left and was looking at the PF-9 or another Glock. I just can't help it.

[willsj 1]

I think I'm going to buy a PF-9 next week. Seems like the perfect gun for pocket carry. Reviews seem pretty good too!

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Wait a minute, wait a minute here - you're a Glock guy and you think that YOU'RE a pistol snob You need to get out more.

 

Oh, wait - it was KenW we were supposed to gang-up on. Nevermind.

[notmetoo 41]

Just throwing out there - the PF-9 is on the top three for my carry gun buy.

I have an old P-11 that isn't that fun to shoot, but so far 100% reliable.

I think that crown goes to Taurus, since their guns are actually AVAILABLE. You can say your putting out a KSG or the 308 bull-pup thingy or the PMR 30 but where they?

Taurus gets the crown for what? Innovation? I hope I'm misunderstanding you, because aside from the Judge, there is NOTHING innovative about Taurus guns.

Um, the 22lr and 22 mag revolver that easy to change. The semi auto pistol carbine. The Rossi (owned by Taurus) ranch hand and judge carbine.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Not to mention they just put out a 9mm and 40S&W snubby revolver.

Eh.

 

The semi auto pistol carbine.

You mean the one they announced at 2011 SHOT and no one ever heard anything about again?

Owned by Taurus, but not actually Taurus

Not familiar with those. Are they available for purchase? If the 9mm uses moon clips, then FAIL.

Interesting. Time to do some research.

 

ETA: FAIL - it uses moon clips. S&W needs to re-release the 547.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

The Charter Arms versions doesn't use moon clips, if you really need to have a stupid 9mm revolver!

As far as I know, the 9mm version has never been released. Rumors say sometime in 2012, but considering they were originally announced in 2009 (if I remember correctly), I'm not overly optimistic.

[Caine 147]

Anyway - we're way off topic now. Maybe KelTec will release revolvers some day

No worse than Charter Arms would...
