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.
