Got Kel-Tec or Kahr experience?

I have a bunch of KelTecs and like them, but I also have a Kahr K9 and a Kahr PM9 and in my opinion the Kahrs are well worth the difference in cost.
My PM9 is the tightest pistol I have ever owned (I've owned a lot of pistols), but still has been 100% reliable right from the beginning. The PM9 has a lot less felt recoil than the PF9 I own and also has a better trigger and is more accurate, although the PF9 certainly has a much better trigger than the two P11s I once owned.

If you don't want to pay the higher price of the Kahr, the KelTec will be fine, but from my personal experience and IMO the Kahr is well worth the difference in price.

Disassemble a Kahr and a KelTec, look at the innards and the firing mechanism and the Kahr oozes with quality when compaired to the KelTec.
 
Not a big fan of conceal carry guns which only hold 7 rounds.....The Kel-Tec P-11 isn't that much thicker than either of the two you mentioned yet it's 10+1....The extra rounds could make all the difference.
 
I am also a PF-9 lover and I carry it daily. I have put 200+ rds of FMJ and 100 of my carry load...Corbon 125 +P through it and it eats it up without a hitch. I am proud to say I own and carry a Kel-Tec after first being shy to admit I bought one. The fit and finish isnt top notch, nor is it a fun gun to shot. But it functions perfectly so far and I trust it enough to carry. 7+1 is acceptable considering this thing is a little over 4/5ths of an inch wide and dissappears bether then most 9mms

Next on my list of guns to buy is a KT P3AT...can't wait
 
I have no experience with Kahr. But I have 3 Kel-Tecs and love everyone!! They have proven to be ultra reliable and they have replaced most of my expensive Colts as carry guns. The P32 is the go everywhere gun. I carry it when wearing elastic waist band shorts to the kids soccer practice/games. It also good for wearing on walks around the neighborhood with gym shorts. The next level up is the PF9. Its carries 7+1 rds of 9mm and only weighs 12oz. Its incredibly thin to boot. The next level is the P11. It carries 12+1 and only weighs 14oz. Thats nearly one round per ounce. Thats unheard of. Actually I dont think its ever been done. Now, they do have very long heavy triggers, and they are not real fun to shoot. I dont take them to the range just for fun, I put 100rds or so throuigh them each outing, just to make sure they are functioning fine. Here are a few pics
