I recently aquired a Glock 26 (gen 3) and a Kel Tec P-11 as I've been looking for a reliable very small 9mm for IWB carry that had a minimum capacity of 10 rounds.
I got the Kel Tec first basically because it was around 1/2 the price of the Glock. The pistol feels good in my hand (in fact better than the Glock) an is very small. After 700 rounds I have had no cycling issues with any of the various types of ammo I've tried. The slide stop lever did break but didn't cause a stoppage. Kel Tec sent a replacement. My issue with this pistol is that I just don't shoot it well. It has a long heavy D/A trigger and though its comfortable enough for me I just don't seem to be getting the hang of it.
I bought a G26 last week and have around 300 rounds through so far. No failures of any kind except the occasional ejected case to the forehead. Not a huge deal for me. As I pictured in another thread, the grip didn't fit me that well. A little time with a file and some sandpaper (undercutting the trigger guard and removing the finger groove bump) made it much more comfortable for me to hold. I shoot this pistol well and comfortably.
Pictured below are two groupings I shot last night using Winchester White Box 115 grain rounds. 10 shots off hand at 7 yards (no pinky extensions on either). The diamond is 4 inches and the center square is 1 inch. This was typical of my groupings with these pistols. Its obvious which one I shoot better. The Glock has a very solid feel to me and its the one I'll carry. For self defense ranges (approx 7 yards and in) the Kel Tec will get the job done so I'm not bashing it in any way. I plan on keeping it and probably leaving it in my truck.
