My favorite thing about all of these Kel Tec tours is how much pride the employees take in their work.
I have to say Kel-Tec has been my favorite gun company since i saw the 1st sub 2000...then i found the KSG and i was KEL-TEC crazy plus the PMR 30...amazing ...plus its a AMERICAN company with lifetime transferable warranties..They make guns that r practical, dependable and innovative....whats not to like??? GO KEL-TEC...GO AMERICA!!!!!!!
"with lifetime transferable warranties"
Not anymore. The warranty now only applies to the original owner.
Hank; Thank you for what has to be one of the best You Tube videos I've ever watched. Thanks to the Kel Tec family for letting us get an experience of what has to be the American dream. A few years ago at Shot Show, when Kel Tec was introducing the KSG and Barack Obama was doing his nonsense, I talked to one of the Kel Tec machinists who had worked for another gun mfg. In the area. He was genuinely concerned about the problems Washington was creating at the time, as Kel Tec was just in the process of expansion. I asked him how he liked working for Kel Tec and he genuinely stated that it was a wonderful company to work for. Good luck to Kel Tec and their continued success.
As an armorer it is really nice to see the process from raw materials to mailbox. Great interview, as always!
I respect them for letting you guys in there, and I love that they carry while working. Trust is important with employees Thumbs up guys!
I just bought my Kel-Tec CMR-30 rifle. It was apparently the only one at the local gun show, the dealer did not replace it with another on display 5 hours later. I had already checked ever pawn shop and gun store within 25 miles, none. I cleaned it overnight and fired it next day. I had no problems except those caused by a failure to properly load the magazine. I added a short scope, a 3x9 at 40 mm. I 'zeroed in' using a barrel laser and a few shots at 25, 50, and 100 yards, maximum available space. I was very pleased. I added a homemade carbon fiber forward hand grip. I will add a white light and perhaps a laser for close counter.
It is a very well made rifle and is much fun as well as a serious weapon. Recoil is straight rearward, allowing quick access to target again. I do recommend a firm pull-in grip to shoulder. When firing from a non-shouldered position it handles very well. Instinct shooting at close range is very attainable. The 22 WMR at 40 grains was a good choice for this rifle. I had no misfires and only a few failure to fires. I began at 20 rounds in each mag. Fired 400 rounds for the day. I want to thank Kel Tec for making a fine rifle. I have fired a few other of their guns and riles, but not a bull pup as yet.
I feel really lucky to have met Chad when I took my Sub2k in for a quick tweak. He greeted me as he did you and was very timely in servicing my rifle. The smiles and demeanor of Kel-Tec employees in this video is definitely not staged. Great video!
I love kel tec...I always have. If I need help they give the best advice. And I can take care of most issues with their guidance. Great group of people.
I just bought my first Kel Tec. PLR 16. Love it. I was going to build an AR pistol when my gun dealer said let me show you something... Yeah worth every penny so far.
Also as a plant manager of a small manufacturing company it is nice to see a company with American manufacturing and happy employees. I have had the privilege to tour several places (non-firearms related) and when employees take pride in a place they work (like they seem to at Kel Tec) it is very nice to see.
Good Video Hank
I'm glad to see that they're manufacturing sub2k's still. You'd never know it by how hard it is to find one.
Yeah especially the glock 9mm version
I so appreciate Kel-Tec allowing you in and showing you around! Very nice to see all the activity/expansion and meeting the folks making it happen! Some very nice products and its nice to see the company growing.
Great video! It really shows an entirely new view of KELTEC. I know of a lot of people who are mad because they cannot find their guns, but this video show that they are trying to meet the demand by growing, R&D, and the quality of employees that they have. Thanks, subbed. Long Live the Republic
I really loved this video and just ordered a Kel Tec. Great people great customer service, and really American !Thank you guy's
Last night, one of my best friends bought one of the few Burnt Bronze PMR-30s; beautiful piece. He has owned a PMR-30 (black) and a Sub 2000, and I like the way they feel and fire After watching this entire video, I know my next pistol will be a Tungsten PMR-30. The care you all take in making your products is amazing! I'm hooked!
The folks that work there seam happy and take pride to build kell tec guns. God bless Kel Tec
Proud owner of the Sub-2000 and a KSG...absolutely love them and the reactions from ppl who have never seen such innovative designs...kel tec buyer for life here
Love my sub 2000 glock model. It worked flawlessly with a pro Mag 33 rounder.
Awesome video Hank! I bet that was really cool getting to see that facility... quite impressive kel-tec! You guys have come a long way and I love all of your firearms!
I'm only 1/3 of the way through, and this is easily one of the most epic videos ever. Amazing job and it's so freaking cool seeing the innards and people from KT. I hope this video gets a million views.
Thanks for not editing out too much of this. It almost felt like I was there touring it with you. I love seeing stuff like this and it gives me more respect for KelTec.
When i first bought my P11 it had feeding & extraction issues, ammo was near impossible to find at the time, so it took me over a year to get a few hundred rounds through it. After determining it was definitely not a break in issue I sent it in for repair & I have loved it ever since, & after a few range trips I completely trust it now. Thanks for an awesome affordable product! I own 2 reliable compact 9's now for less money than it would have cost me for 1 glock
I just bought my first Kel Tec the other day. KSG25. I love it. It is literally the most fun gun that I own. Thank you so much for what you guys do. I now want an RFB and and RDB. I got to hold them today at my LGS and i think they feel awesome from my initial impression.
Thanks you for the great tour as well Hank!
I actually like this company now..... thanks Hank
It's a beautiful thing to see Americans manufacturing. I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks for bringing us along on the tour, well done.
My gen 2 g17 sub 2000 is one of my favorites. Great vid Hank. Makes me glad to support these guys.
Gen 2 definitely better than gen 1 with slimmer profile. I have both gens...but prefer 2nd gen
Sweet! I've waited 7 months for my PLR-16 (and it was well worth it). Very glad to see them upping production. I had heard great things about the PLR-16, watched many videos and was sold after one of our SWAT trainers was raving about it's functionality and ease of use for cornering and clearing buildings. After 29 weeks, I finally can say from first hand experience that she's everything she's been touted to be. Great share, Hank
Awesome video Hank. This is better than regular tv. Long videos like this are perfect for when I'm brushing my teeth and getting ready for work etc etc or at my desk at work writing reports. I just prop my phone up and watch a youtube video! Congrats on being the first cameras ever to be allowed into keltec.
***** I hear a lot of guys complain about long gun videos but I like I said sometimes I actually want a long video from time to time. Long videos are my version of music playing in the background lol.
I would love to film a factory visit of Arsenal here in Vegas but they dont even let Nutnfancy or GunWebsites in there so I dont stand a chance.
Came across your channel today for the first time and saw this keltec tour. Been thinking about a p11 or pf9 for concealed carry in the summer months, something a little smaller than my 26. Was about 75 percent sold after watching sootch00 videos on both of them but this put me over the top. Fantastic video and hats off to keltec for giving you the tour. It's great to see the human side off this companies and I like the somewhat relaxed atmosphere, keltec t-shirts and I do believe all those folks enjoy working there. I saw one comment to picnic like or something like that, make no mistake about it, those people are working hard and everybody's work gets checked right on down the line. They have had problems in the past but they are striving to be top notch and getting that new certification proves that. But most gun manufacturers have had issues at some point, even glock with the gen 4's, Springfield had the recall on the xd-s and the list goes on. Besides, you gotta have faith in a guy leading you around with a rifle slung over his shoulder. I love the out of the box thinking in a lot of their guns too, sub 2000 is pretty cool and on my bucket list, hopefully they will get geared up and be able to keep up with demand. Glad you kept pestering Chad about doing this tour. Most of the videos I watch on RUclips are all very good, most are on firearms as I am kinda new to semi-auto pistols, old wheel gun guy so I watch to learn, but this one is up there with the best of them. You have provided some insight into the name keltec, and I think that counts for something. Good job Hank!
great American company and in Florida! Thanks Kel-Tec, great service.
I just acquired my 2nd Kel-Tec and while doing a little research I came across this video. It made me feel pretty Dog gone good about the company backing my warranties. Thanks for your time and for sharing, I felt as if I was watching a show similar to Guns and Ammo, great job.
The owl is on the shed. 1:00:14
As an employee of the only distributor that offers the burnt bronze, I say a huge thank you to Kel Tec! I love that coloration!
Thanks for the tour!
This video really makes me want to support Kel-Tec.
Thank you for sharing this tour. I can't wait to get my RFB and looking at where its being made makes me proud to support American workers.
That was a nice tour of a good company with great people. I now feel proud to support this USA Florida based company that provides lifetime warranties on its products. Thanks Hank and the people at Kel-Tec for providing this video tour,
Like Kel-Tec a lot more after this video. Thanks Hank nice work
Really enjoyed watching this Hank. Thanks for getting this to us. Take Care.
Awesome video! It makes me truly proud to see skilled American craftsmen building cool products right here in the USA. My next firearm SU-16CA.
Hank, you're a true patriot, sir.
Really enjoyed this...thank you for making this video!
I like Kel-Tec's innovation, and the fact that they're American-made, and most of the employees are just regular everyday folks! Makes me want to support the company!
Also impressed that they're now ISO-certified... I know that Kel-Tec has not really had a rep for ultimate quality, but this makes me optimistic that they're doing their best to improve things!
I am currently in the market for a KSG, which is what led me to your channel, Hank.
+Hank Strange, I picked up a KSG last week at a gun shop. $760 plus tax & background. Can't wait to shoot it!
Thanks. They're on GunBroker for $739 Buy-It-Now, so, not a killer deal, but acceptable. So, the prices have come down now that the factory has stepped up production.
Just ordered a set of Magpul BUIS II sights and one of the Kel-Tec hand stops for the front of the pump. Almost everyone puts a vertical grip on, but I like the low-profile, compact nature of the shotgun as-is, so I'm going to see how I like it like that first.
Also a side rail to mount my TLR-1S and a barrel lug tool. Trying to decide if I want to mount a muzzle device; again, I like the short length of the gun, and hate to add any length to it.

Awesome!!
This is nice. Because I kept thinking about putting maybe an action scene into a gun factory in a James Grider novel but I had no idea what they are like. What I will need to do is write a novel where this enemy of the state James Grider with his Wykkdik of Fhekris is stealing firearms and giving them away to mentally ill people who the law might be forbidding from owning firearms otherwise. James Grider is like this pro-school shooter kid. Then there is a villain who has an Infucknal Device that allows his hand to project an energy blade and he is running about destroying guns in gun stores and gun factories. People should buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel so I can afford to move into a forested place like the one in which this factory stands.
Wow!!! Awesome tour video Hank and Lola! Congrats on being the first to do it. I was glued to the screen the whole time LOL. Very interesting. I don't own a Kel Tec firearm, but I will be buying many in the near future ha ha! Thanks for all your hard work bro!!! We love the Hank Strange Situation!
Serious equipment. Great tour. Tours should be casual but most of all the employees are acting themselves. I would assume they truly enjoy their jobs.
Proud to be a regular and continuing KelTec customer! Incredibly, positively informative piece about KelTec! 👍🇺🇸
That Quick Turn Smart CNC lathe goes for $80,000... USED... rack the numbers up, whether new or used they are dropping millions on new machines.
Awesome tour! Learned a lot! Really appreciated this!
Wow. Nice. I love a freedom factory. Thanks!
Loved to see the factory and the great folks that work there
Hank Strange and Lola - good people and real Americans - thanks
Thank you for this Hank Strange, very impressive. I have ordered and am patiently waiting on my very first Kel-Tec purchase, a PMR-30
Never owned the pmr30...but that will b my next Kel-Tec purchase...22mag with 30rd cap...amazing
Great video Hank. It's my first time viewing your channel, I'm really impressed that you take so much time responding to viewer comments!! I just subscribed and look forward to viewing more videos.
This was VERY informative, such a cool video. I gotta hand it to ya, though I haven't yet bought a Kel-Tec firearm myself, seeing this work environment and how the people interact with eachother is such an eye opener to the company. Good to see a down home American company working very diligently to put quality firearms in people's hands.
Thank y'all for putting the time and effort in to going through and lifting the veil on such an interesting company, even if it isn't the whole picture.
Hopefully you'll be able to keep on with the factory tours. I've got customers who'll ask me what a company's ethics are, and I'll definitely point them to some of your videos on here to let them decide themselves.
As for me, you've got a new subscriber. Keep em' rolling, keep it Strange.
Very interesting video, and much appreciated ... the locals haven't been able to get me a PMR-30 ... but the video shows that Kel-Tec is pumping them out as fast as possible.
Thanks! Very interesting and good to see an American Company do business the right way!
Great video, thanks for the tour.
Very cool to where I watched the whole thing. Nice to see the human aspect to this Co and where it all happens. Well done.
I have a very positive view of Kel-Tec after this video. It's obvious that they are very proud of their company. Kel-Tec is now on my radar!
People bash keltec but I have always been a fan of the innovation.. Over the last 100 years not much has changed in the gun scene.. Companies like keltec push the envelope and they are not afraid of failure and I love it.. Guns like the ksg, sub2000, plr are so damn cool
Thanks Hank for the vid! Thanks Chad for the exceptional tour!
I've been waiting for this, thank you all.
Have a P32 for sevreal years now, at least 1000 rounds thru it, only a couple of failure to fire, perhaps were hard primers. Sent it back to adjust mag button so I could insert mag without needing to depress the button, they also did a "fluff & buff", came back quickly, now it's super smooth...
Great Video Tour Hank d'ont get to see this kind of tour on tv great one on one with the employees had me glued to my seat for the full duration keep the great vids coming Hank!!
Six years later and look what they've become. So proud of this small American company and their success! Love the P17 btw!
Yea I finally found one amazing little pistol
What a GREAT company! Makes me proud to be an American and five decade FLORIDIAN! All these people seem like they do a fantastic job and they also seem appreciative for our support! :-)
I love the fact that kel-tec is very professional and all about performance thank you for the videos.
I just purchased a P-32 and Kel Tec I am impressed. Never saw a semi-auto this small and thin. Great pocket pistol.
Thanks for the video Hank..up in Canada here..i have a Su 16 and a Sub 2000 Gen2..love both of them.
Great video... Good thing I watched the sub 2k gen 2 video and read the comment section where you posted the link.
First time visitor. An excellent and professional factory tour video.
these guys and ladies know their stuff in manufacturing , it is good to see the skill level as a one time engineer and programmer ,
Nice!!
Nice to see their workspaces personalized to an extent... seems moral would be higher than at most factory environments.
Great stuff! I havent seen a video this awesome in a Looong time!
Mr Strange it appears I am late to the party, 2014 damn. This is a great video good job.I just got myself an RDB that was produced in April of 2019, taking it out for its initial test run and break in this weekend. I'm hoping that all of the reported issues have been ironed out, fingers are crossed. BTW I just subscribed to the channel and rang the notification bell. Keep up the good work 😎.
Another cool video Hank I loved the tour !
Great video brother I fully enjoyed it!!!
Cool tour, thanks for doing it.
What an excellent video and tour my friend. Any employer that encourages firearm carry even at work has the GlockerBob seal of approval!!!!
Fantastic video Hank and Lola. It really helps to demystify Kel-Tec and correct some of the rumors about them.
Love my Keltecs I have been carrying a P3AT for 4 years everyday. Took 200 rounds to break it in.. after that its been rock solid. Has about 1200 rounds through it up to now no failures after the break-in. Also own a Sub 2K in .40. Its also a good gun. Did have one jam that required an inspection by Keltec... service was very good and fast. Thanks for this video I really enjoyed it.
Wow, thanks for the tour, its amazing how big that place is.. great vid.
thanks for the great vid. i'm glad to see kel tec seems like a friendly place considering i need to contact them about a trigger issue with my sub2k
thank you so much for putting up such and amazing video. i have always wanted to see this place, and probably never would. i am glad to hear the truth about kel-tec and dismiss all the rumors that other folks say
As a former Cocoa resident, I am glad to see you guys doing so well.
I just bought a SU-16 today at my local gunshop, and its my first Kel-Tec.
Great video, thank you for the insight. Awesome to see a great American company in depth. Do more American factory tours!
Hank, first time seeing one of your videos. You put an amazing amount of energy and time into this and it shows. I have just gotten into the Kel-Tec fan club. I don't have a Kel-Tec yet, but I will be soon. I think that this video was very good to show people how advanced this manufacturing process is. So thanks for all your hard work.. Mission accomplished.
watch 8 watches.
Wow great video, makes me feel so much better purchasing my rfb, thank you
Awesome vid, very interesting, thank you!
Awesome tour. I can't wait to see what Kel-Tec comes out with next.
AWESOME Hank. I'm a new sub comin over from MAC.. This video is one of a kind .. Thanks!
A genuine gun guy /gun gal company, confident to do business with !
I want to thank you for introducing me to more than the sub-2000. I am impressed.
This is a great video really brings back the memories of the professional CNC machinist environment. I am a CNC programming Machinist by trade for the past 25+ years I would give my eye teeth to work in a shop like Kel-Tec this company is one of the last good American Gun companies left making affordable firearms for the everyday man I have quite a few guns including a couple SU16's and I love them all after seeing this video I am definitely going to be in the market for an RDB BullPup .556 thank for the video and the great tour of the shop.
I have a Kel-Tec p3at, I love it, a marvel of design. Thanks for the video.
Excellent journalistic work, very didactic and clear I wish I was part of the Kel-Tec family
Never change personal customer service no matter how much they grow, which is obvious what will happen.
Cool tour. Whether the guns work correctly or not, a lot goes into building guns.
Hank...you brought it on this one man...too cool.
Cool vid man. Always wondering what Kel Tec is coming out with next
Great Job Hank and Lola!
this video gives me a whole new respect for Kel Tec...I didn't disrespect Kel Tec before, I would have still bought a KT before a bersa or Taurus anyday but this is a prideful business with a lot of craftsmanship....they still need a lot of help on their slide finishes...
You Rock Bro! Thanks for this video, I'm a fan of the Keltec brand.
Great video. have a bunch of KelTec products. just got a Bronze KSG this week.
One of America's greatest companies. Innovative R&D department, superior no hassle warranty for life and producing truly unique light weight fire arms in the world. I truly love the SU-16c and wish I had one. Pf 9 perfect conceal carry pistol, the RFG is a superb tactical defense weapon, KSG is a bad ass and Kicks Butt. Sub 2000's are super cool, versatile guns that are quick to deploy. Hank your the best. Please consider me the recipient of the KSG your giving away:))))
