    I already was a big fan of KelTec but this video just cements what I thought were the values and hard work brought out by KelTec. My personal favorite is still the Sub2000. For a long time I thought it was a gimmick gun and a waste of time. Once I actually fired one and saw how accurate and how much fun they were, I immediately went out and got my hands on one or two. Let's not forget that KelTec also makes their products affordable so that most Americans can own one. KelTec is a great example of what hard work can do for you in America. The fact that George Kellgren is so proud of America and so proud to be an American makes me an even bigger fan of KelTec.

    P-32 was my first carry gun around 2000 or so. Always liked keltec. I actually was just given a non functional P-11 and ordered all new internals directly from them. I expect it to work just fine when done.

    If I ever have to go and live in Cocoa Beach I absolutely will try to find a job with keltec. I am a certified fanboy of their weapons and I encourage others as well. There's something beautiful about something that is made From America herself from an absolute beautiful success accessory it makes my day better. Yesterday My brand new P17 came to life and had about a 150 rounds put through her

      Very rarely do they hire and when they do they usually promote from within. They don't pay well as most in FL but they actually have good benefits.

    • @michaelschiff2596
      @michaelschiff2596 2 года назад +2

      I LOVE my P11 my first 9mm from 24 years ago still going strong and looking new! Still,,, 24 years later the smallest, lightest high capacity 10 round double stack mecgar magazine, most concealable 9mm in the world! It was the FIRST polymer 9mm handgun specifically made for concealed carry. And the safest and most ready for action than any other gun. The trigger pull is very high making it impossible to accidentally or prematurely fire like the crappy trigger on all glocks which has the highest rate of accidental discharges due to no real safe, safety engineering outside of a bogus trigger safety which means nothing since you're finger is Always depressing that tiny trigger in the trigger. But now most guns have that setup so the P11 is the safest! Yet some Pussies will moan and criticize the heavy trigger pull on the P11 because they either have weak hands or just are,,, pussies. It's that extra pull that gives you the split second to stop if the threat is no longer a threat. Either that or a super light trigger pull and,,,,Ooooops too late! There goes the rest of your life. Keltec will continue to lead the competition in innovation unlike some other well known lame "Dinosaur" of the gun industry. Keltec's designers and engineers have visions of the future in weapontry. Others live in the past 40+ Years,, Lack Luster, No Good Ergonomics or Looks, No Modern Designs or ANY Updated Features or Quality Workmanship and Never Move Fwd while not even trying to keep up with All the other Modern Competition ,,, I won't mention any particular name,, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, Lol...

    I own a P-11, P3-AT, SU-16C, Sub 2000 and a PF-9. The PF-9 is the only gun I have had problems with. The others are as reliable as any brand. KT is a great company.

    • @wesleymailhos8415

    you'll always be able to laugh at aspects of a keltec gun, but you'll also always be able to find things to praise as well. nature of the game when most of the stuff they make are so much more innovative than whats on the market.

    It's too bad more firearm manufactures don't work so hard on creating new designs. I've never had a single issue with any of my Kel-Tecs and I love their unique guns. Now knowing the story behind the the great American who created the company makes me love them even more.

    @michaelschiff2596 2 года назад

    VERY VERY COOL COMPANY, VERY VERY COOL GUY AND GUNS! I've owned my first 9mm, a P11 since 1998, it's my EDC and in all my guns over the years, lots of cool guns I've bought and traded for other guns, I would NEVER get rid of my P11,, iconic and although copied through the years by the likes of "copy cat" RUGER, and even Sig,, they fall short of the P11 either by capacity, size, weight or,,, History! I wish I still had my P32, but traded it in and got a Taurus PT738 since same size and the .380 is a more formidable round. Taurus is also an innovator that doesnt follow the crowd, they think out of the box as well. All I can say is Long Live Keltec,,, thank you George!!

    Just recently was able to purchase a P-17 .22 pistol that i had been wanting to buy for over a year. Covid had made these inexpensive guns impossible to find except at prices that were 2 to 3 times higher than list price. Love kel-tec but its often a catch 22 situation with them because they make a lot of good guns at very reasonable prices - but because of this their guns are usually out of stock at virtually every place that sells them. It's very frustrating to say the least

    @bdphourde 2 года назад

    Being from Satellite Beach in Brevard County, FL, in the early '60s, I was partial to your eventual close proximity in Cocoa and your innovative designs. My first purchase was a Grendel P-30, followed over the years by an RFB-24 Hunter, RDB-20, PMR-30, & CMR-30. I only got the "Hunter" because the "Sniper" (now changed to "Target") wasn't being sold yet. AND IT STILL ISN'T! Mr. Kellgren, I have seen your picture on your website with you holding one, and in writing to your company years ago was told it would be later. There is a market for the "Target" for competition shooters as well as for military/law enforcement sharpshooters. Why not make the 3 RFB barrels field-interchangeable and add a .300 WinMag chamber to that long barrel as another option? You have what seems to be a perfect platform for a modular system.
    I tried adding a front hand guard to my "Hunter" but gave up when you kept sending the wrong barrel nut for the barrel.
    I would like to see the new P-90 in a bullpup with a 22" barrel.
    Thank you for providing us with what we've always wanted, innovation.
