New Kel-Tec Pistol

[alamo]

No, it's not a single stack 9MM.

It's sort of a cut down SU-16 and looks like a Broomhandle Mauser:

This looks promising.

Don't know what the hell you would do with it, but it does look neat!

That looks bada...... I may have to look at one of those. If only I could mount a vertical grip on the picatinny rail adapter....

It looks very Star Wars-esque.

I know you're no Kel-Tec fan, but I may have to agree with you on this one. P-32/3AT has a purpose. The giant, short-barreled .223, not so sure.

 

[Justang]

Is that gonna be California legal? Doubt it.

 

[wally]

The AK-like bolt carrier and gas take off hybridized with the AR bolt and barrel lockup is interesting from a design standpoint. Does the full sized SU-16 use this system? if so I might look for one as the main complaint against the AR design is it "poops where it eats" because of the direct gas impingment system.

As to its use, I bet its be a fun way to empty magazines

[MartinS]

Yeah, I like the cut of that bolt carrier. I think I could figure out a use for it, something involving crab people or zombies. It looks so cool I know my son would not allow me to stand in the same room with it.

 

[pauli]

i agree with the mauser reference - this thing is the broomhandle from hell!

i could warm up to this a lot more easily than an ar or ak pistol.

 

[Moonclip]

I want one and I can't see why it would not be CA legal except for the fact KelTEc has not submitted any other of their pistols for testing.

 

[shermacman]

Oh, Lord give me strength.

Another gun that I need...

 

[Moonclip]

Actually I forgot, it is illegal in CA because the magazine is not in the pistol grip.

 

[Justang]

oh yeah... it has to be in the pistol grip. Damn the commies!

 

[bubbygator]

Put a Crimson Trace VF-302 lasergrip on that fore-end picatinny & you're ready for a little urban warfare.

 

[otomik]

It looks very Star Wars-esque.

Scope it out and it would make a decent rendition of a Blastech DL-44, actually it would be pretty useful in a SHTF scenario for "rebel scum".

 

[rudolf]

Funny that everyone is asking what this thing is good for. I thought you guys like to have fun

 

[Jeff Timm]

I'd rather have a Kel-tec carbine in 10mm Automatic. More short range punch.

Who would give up long range for a big moderate velocity bullet.

 

[Gillster]

"What's it for" I used to look at those AR-15 pistols and think the same thing. Then some guy brought one out to the range and let me put a few mags down range with it. Now I know what it's for: to put a big shi@-eating grin on my face Think this one would do the same.

Just a fun note--it would be legal to carry it concealed in Idaho. I would never replace my P-3AT with it. But for those folk who have to hunt varmits with pistols...

 

[Deadman]

Damn, I need to move to the U.S.

 

[M2 Carbine]

I've got the Bushmaster .223 and AK pistols and I'll have the Kel Tec as soon as I find one (unless they want a scalper's price).

What's it for?
Simple, it shoots bullets. A LOT of powerful, accurate bullets (judging by my guns ).

Just a fun note--it would be legal to carry it concealed in Idaho. I would never replace my P-3AT with it. But for those folk who have to hunt varmits with pistols...

I made a sling, much like the one shown at the Kel Tec site, to carry mine to my range. Hanging from a sling the gun would conceal easily under about a 3/4 length loose fitting coat.

If you had a need to carry something like that.
