Well this is something different from them, I don't think they've ever done a striker-fired pistol before?

Okay.

If I were in the market for a not-glock glock, I'd look at this well before I'd look at some of the imported not-glocks.

Definitely interesting, to me.
"Thinnest double-stack"? Be curious to see one in person.
Curious what the MSRP will be on them.

Sho is fugly


The back end of the slide looks to be plastic, guessing firing mechanism and firing pin are in there

Over on KTOG, they're speculating that the polymer-looking rear section may give way to swappable/modular options like an optics mount.

Also read that this is effective replacing the P11, PF9 & P3AT which are all discontinued or slated for end-life.

Not as ugly as the rest of their line-up.

Hmmm. I wonder how it'll compare to a Glock 48 with those Shield mags.

Well, it sure has that Kel-Tec "look"!

The P11 and the PF9 I get, but why the P3AT? Seems like a completely different form-factor, and a different caliber. I remember when the P3AT was the .380 to have...did Ruger steal their lunch that bad with the LCP that they're just giving up, or do they have something else in the works? Because this sure doesn't seem like a suitable replacement.

I'm not up on Kel-tecs but if that is not their ugliest pistol then I'm very glad I'm not familiar with the others.

Looks cool, similar to my PMR30, which is light and has a decent enough ergos and trigger.

At least its a USA company with the plant here in FL making the product so there is that.

CMR33 is pretty cool as well, have one of those, the P3AT I had early on never failed, ugly, poor construction, yep, work, yes...

Still want a P17 but it's unobtainium unless you want to drop $400 for a $199 msrp pistol.

Made a mistake an kept putting a Sub2000 back down, used to be sub $400, not anymore.

if it's like most Kel-Tec items it will sell out fast, be hard to find and over priced for 3 years...

Lots of Torx head screws! Thats interesting.

Allen head

Pretty obvious that it will take a shorter slide.

KelTec tries things no one else will. That’s a good thing. How the execution in engineering and industrial design are often lacking. I’ve tried owning them twice.

The “innovation” I see here is a return to the grip safety. That could be a better solution than a manual safety on a striker gun

Someone on FB did a cut down compact/carry version.. Looks pretty good

Not bad, maybe that's the plan for the P3AT replacement?

I'll agree with that. I won't carry a gun with a manual safety that I have to manually disengage, but a grip safety, if properly designed, is automatically disengaged when you establish your grip. Best of both worlds, IMO. I've never had a problem with one, although I haven't had much experience with them outside of 1911s and a few XDs.

I really doubt the P3AT is going away here.

This looks to me like the replacement for the PF9 as someone mentioned before.

That's how Kel-Tec does things; they mold two clamshell-type halves and screw them together with Allen screws. I don't think any other gunmaker does that, do they?
