Have two Kel-Tecs. P11 and P3AT.

Both are reliable. Have fired the P11 700+ rounds and the P3AT 300+ times. The P11 ejector broke at around 500 rounds. Don't know for sure but understand they had a batch of weak ejectors some time ago and have rectified the problem. Called them and had a new one in 3 days.

Kel-Tec is neither a range or show gun. However, due to their size, weight and concealability I carry one or the other or both neearly every day and have Sigs, S&Ws, and Rugers in my collection.

Some degrade them due to their cost and looks but that does not matter to me.

That is why I purchased mine. I use a Baretta 9mm at the range.

i have a P-11. I love carrying the thing. Shoot it (usually) when i do IDPA. Other option is my Colt Officers 45 i carried for years. The Kel-tec is easier to carry, harder to shoot (although practice helps a lot) and I have been very happy with it. I will get a P-3AT as a next pistol. Maybe trade my FEG in for it. Maybe not. Haven't carried the FEG much since i got the P-11, and the safety is backwards from my other guns with safeties. Very accurate thoug.
I have found the p-11 accurate when I do my part.

P11-2000+rds, PF9-1500+rds, PF9-<1000rds, P3at-1000+rds. None of them been sent back.

Except purely for the sake of collecting, I wouldn't bother with a LCP if you already have a P-32(3AT).

The P-3AT I own has eaten a small diet (400-500 rounds) of WWB and Golden Saber without a problem.

Add the Kel-Tec belt clip and a finger mag extension, and you have the perfect deep-carry tool.

Enjoy

Jeff,

Nice pocket holster. I have Uncle Mikes #1 for the P32 fits great.

I like the one in the pict with the mag. Which one is it? I can not find it on line. Is it #2

It's a hand-modified Number 1.

Cut the top and outer edge of the stabilizer wing, and re-sew the outer edge by hand with a loop-stitch along the very edge. The mag will fit. It's really tight going in, but leave it in overnight, and take it back out. It will stretch after a little while.

Thanks Jeff. I have something to do tomorrow morning.

In case you hadn't figured it out, Jeff has mad skills with the sewing machine. A certain cargo shorts modification comes to mind.

My wife and I both carry P-11's. Mine has the pinky extension and I modified my mag to hold 12rds. I find the little thing to be a treat to shoot since I added the pinky extension. Far more stable which means better accuracy, which wasn't bad to begin with. We still have to "proof" my wife's, but we're not worried. I did a full inspection and a "fluff and buff" when we first got it, so I'm confident about her carrying it.

You mean my Old Navy Carry Rig for a Full-size gun???




These are mad skills... Note the full-size XD45 Service in the modified right pocket, and the spare mag in the left pocket-sleeve. Took about 15 minutes, and some tan thread... I can carry either my XD9SC (sold the Service), or if I were crazy, my M&P Pro...

Sewed a line up the middle of the right pocket to the base of the trigger guard, and the left pocket was sewn about 1.5 inches back from the front, and to the depth of a full-size mag. No shifting, comfortable all day carry. Wallwt fits nicely behind the mag on the left to balance things out.

Mad Skills...

Try browsing around over here http://www.ktog.org. When I first got my P32 I was hooked on the site.

New to the forum. My wife and I both have Keltec P11's as our primary carry. Just sent off for the CWP so Ill have to wait a bit to tote it on the hip. They ride in the vehicles for now.

Yes, I am a Kel Tec fan.

Just for FYI

Redwolf,

That is very similar to Ohio CC.

I picked up a PA permit so that I could drive to FL and see mom and be legal the entire route.

Am I missing something you're trying to tell me? If the cun is in the case AND in the console which BTW is locked I dont see a problem.

Ive read the law and dont seem to be in violation. Unless you've got something I dont know about.
