Does anyone here have experience with Kel Tec or this gun in particular? Reliable? Worth the $280?
I can vouch for Keltec from my personal experience. I carry a 1st generation hard chromed P32 as my BUG(BackUpGun), as far as I know it is the lighest commerically avaliable .32ACP in market. Having played with both the P32 and the P3AT, size and weight is very minimal. My .32 goes bang everytime I squeeze the trigger, I practice with it at 7yrds max hitting center mass damn near everytime, whether its single shots or mag dumps. With such a short barrel trying to hit anything beyond 15yds accurate would require some Godly skills. Another option is the Ruger LCP which is also $280 from aimsurplus.com, though the first batch of LCPs did have a lot of problems I think Ruger has fixed the bugs in the design.
