Here is a reminder to the people that do not know. The Keltec P11. RIP. God Bless !!!

I shoot with a guy every week, good friend of mine for years and he's a millionaire.

He carries a P11 daily.

Well, that was an odd video.

A P11 was the first gun I purchased with my own $$
Still my go-to pocket carry option.

Much more bearable to shoot after replacing the bendy plastic trigger with an aluminum replacement.

I thought so too, until I thought about the fact that the Founder and owner was Swedish born and the video showed a Norse Funeral, something native to Sweden and other countries.

Thus, he gave the P11 a proper viking funeral.

Another unfortunate boating accident...

The Kel-Tec P11 was the first pistol I ever bought. I carried it for a little while, and then traded it in on a S&W 6906. I later bought another P11, and then added a P40 to the stable. Aside from the heavy DAO trigger, they were not bad little guns.

I wonder if Kel-Tec has something else planned...

Keltec is an odd company. Proven even further by making commercials for things you no longer sell.

As far as being improved by an aluminum trigger, I'd say that probably applies to everything they make. Certainly every one of them, pistol or long gun I've ever fired.

Are they still making guns for people who drink their own piss?

(a failed advertising campaign from a few years ago)

I bought my P-11 when they first came out. I took it to the range every week for years. I still own it and it rides in my pickup. I have fired over 6500 rounds through that handgun, and never had it let me down. It has proven itself to me as far as I am concerned. Two mags of Black Talon ammo with the gun.

It’s a play on the company’s founder/owner George Kellgren being from Sweden…

I had a P11. It was more fun to carry than to shoot. The trigger would put my finger to sleep. I still wouldn't mind having one.

Prior to my P320, I had planned on getting the other 3 conversions for the P11.
P40, & a 357Sig slide, and there was a 3rd party making 22lr kits.
Have heard the 357 is pretty stout.

I have 2, sequential serial numbers but bought them 3 months apart in 2003. $200 each. They suck to shoot but work. 500 & 800 rounds thru them. Keeping them because what else am I going to do with them. Might come in handy some day.

I stepped in thinking we would be talking G26....

I'll see myself out

It’s funny how a small double stack 9mm flew under the radar for years while other gun manufacturers churned out small single stack nines. Then Sig makes one and everyone is scrambling to get their own to the market.

My P-11 rides to work with me every day now. Also occasionally is my concealed carry. Bought mine used. No failures of any kind over several years.

P-11 is the only gun I've sold on. Jam 'o' matic POS.

I refused to own a Bryco, Lorcins, Jennings, or other saturday night special piece of shit. I ended up buying some Keltec, though, and determined after several thousands of wasted rounds, just what crap they were. From the plastic trigger that literally crumbled to bits in my hand to the nearly countless malfunctions on multiple examples, to Keltec's absolute piss-poor customer service (refusing to service it without proof of first ownership, losing the pistol for months, claiming they never received it, to their all-time low for a predicted service life (who makes a pistol expected to last 6,000 rounds?)...never again.

There is no proper adjective for keltec but shitty. Nothing else properly describes it. I dont' care if a millionare is stupid enough to carry one. They're shit. Friends wouldn't let friends carry one, let alone own one.

Seriously.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

Have a buddy that has a Keltec .380 that was reasonably accurate, reliable, and a surprisingly soft shooter. Since I’ve owned THE subcompact to have since the early 2000’s, the G26, I’ve never made any effort to get any of Keltec’s lineup.
