The same place that has them for $149 has the Taurus G2C for $179; I think I'd come up with the $30.
You will get your $150 worth.
The other Kel Tec spin of was DiamondBack, Taurus bought them up.
.
Well, he did have one issue with a mag and SCCY sent him two for free. .
Are the SCCY mags made by Mec-Gar?
Mec-Gar makes the K-T mags.
Diamondback has no connection to Kel-Tec, aside from being a half-mile or
so down the street. They've been an airboat builder for about twenty years,
and just entered the firearms design/mfr arena a few years back.
Makes ya wonder if the DB guy rubbed elbows with George Kellgren at
a few chamber afterhours, and thought "I can do that, too."
Santa brought one for Mrs Thunkit (Ida is her name).
The weapon is well sized, she likes it as a range gun.
The trigger is long, but after a few hundred rounds it's smoothing out. It's accurate for a pocket 9, easy to disassemble and clean.
At $150 I think it's a good purchase. If you want a pocket 9 you could do worse.
My friend owns one. I discouraged their purchase and suggested they just spend the small premium for an M&P Shield or anything similar. They persisted because of the lower price. I have personally witnessed it failing to feed or eject more than a hundred times on steel cased wolf 9mm, and not always easy to clear. It functions ~90% on brass wwb or similar. Heavy recoil for size and not a great, although usable, dao trigger. Accuracy is fine when it works. Feeding is a huge issue even with fmj. I've read that the mags are to blame and the owner tells me that one mag is much better than the other, but buying one to save less than a hundo over a proven gun was a stupid idea. It's not enjoyable to shoot and I would never trust my life to it. Afaik they have never contacted the factory for service.
My son bought one a while back and he is actually using it as his EDC. I know at first, SCCY got a bad rep, but they have come a long way in such a short time. My son's CPX-2 has had zero issues and has about 1000 rnds through it now. Well, he did have one issue with a mag and SCCY sent him two for free. I know he has bought (3) 200 count boxes of federal aluminum cased ammo, 2 boxes Monarch steel cased ammo, 2 boxes of blazer brass and 2 boxes of his carry ammo, prolly some more I don't know about. All of that ammo has ran without issues and all is pretty accurate out to 15 yrds. Once you get use to the trigger pull, this pistol shoot very good and accurate. I was "this close" to buying me one, but found the Taurus G2C at a better price, which is also a great shooter. All in all, it is a reliable shooter.
The same place that has them for $149 has the Taurus G2C for $179; I think I'd come up with the $30.
If the G2C isn't too large for the OP's needs, they are good pistols. I have a G2C and a Glock 26. After I shot them side-by-side I preferred the Glock, but just barely. The Taurus is a better design and better executed than the Kel-Tec 9mm that I owned.
