Disclaimer: I have drunk no one's KoolAid.
After narrowing down my first ever handgun about 6 years ago to a Taurus PT-111 or a Glock, I spoke with a gun shop owner about what he carried.
He and 3 others in the store at the time pulled as either a primary or backup weapon, a P-32.
He encouraged me to consider a P-11 at that time.
I told him I'd give it some thought, and began researching them via the web.
I came across KT's website, then KTOG, which was in full function at the time. I read and read reviews, owner experiences, and the amazing stories about KT going over the top to repair/replace and make it right if someone happened to get one that was not 100%.
I also saw the amazing level of owner support, step-by-step repair how-to's, easily achieved mods and improvements that could be done.
So faced with all of this, I took the plunge and purchased a new P-11, parkerized with night sights.
It had the typical ridiculously long DAO trigger pull, and I did the 2-3 easy trigger mods which were detailed on the forum, and to this day, I still have people tell me it's the sweetest DAO trigger they've ever shot.
I bought one of the last purple P-32's for my wife, and a black one for me, as well. Both are reliable and disappear in any pocket.
I then bought a 2nd Generation P-3AT. It is now my everyday carry, and I can't be happier.
I also have purchased several other carry guns, including 2 Sigs, a Kahr, and a Taurus.
I can shoot the P11 more accurately than anything else I own.
I can shoot the P3AT nearly as well. It is totally reliable, and it will do its part, if I do mine.
Your mileage may vary, but my experience with KelTec (the company) and KelTecs (the guns) have been 100% positive.
Sorry so long-winded. I hope this helps.
