I picked up a New Keltec last week and got a chance to break it in at the Alarm and Muster shoot at POP's on sunday. I had heard about it being a jam machine until break in and watched the you tube videos .. Well I will say this now aside from weak sights , I love this little gun, fun to shoot, not so bad on the recoil and I hit pretty much everything i aimed at. At about 10 yards i was all center ring and then i was then shooting at golf balls we had tossed out and had more hits then misses. But the best part is that after 75 rounds, not one jam or misfead. The grip needs something like a glock sock and a extra finger extension would be great, but stock it is a very usable close distance back up or even anytime pocket gun.. :+1:
I also had the chance to compare it to a Ruger , the Rugers trigger is nicer but in the 20 rounds i shot I had 2 jams and it was a broken in gun.. So far I am very happy..

I have had no jams with my Ruger, even being rapid fired. I have heard horror stories about that Kel-Tec. For a few dollars difference I got the Ruger. Just a not the bottom floor plates are not interchangeable between the two which a lot of people thought they were. I don't think I will ever range shoot with that gun just because of there are really no sights that are user friendly.

I have heard of jams on both guns, mostly due to the fact people don't clean there guns. I polished my feed ramp just like all of my firearms. You just can't beat the size of the guns, you can stick them anywhere. I have been carrying mine for a few weeks now since I have been to lazy to pull my XD back out of the safe.
