So the trend in micro 9 pistols is smaller and smaller. Lets just cut to the chase: wrist-mounted watch-style micro pistols with ring triggers. Kel Tec make it happen.
@@iansanchez331 I know, right? Deadshot has already done the design. We just need the geniuses at kel tec to build the guts and, you know, make it actually work without blowing your hand off.
Looks like an Austin hipster that throws a prissy bitchfit because the organic, fair-trade coffee bar ran out of the non-binary soy milk for his latte.
I like how he’s just like “Yeah we kinda just found this sitting in the office after drinking one night. So yeah, apparently it works and it’s the smallest micro double stack. We don’t really know what it is but yeah, it’s going to production I guess”
That's how it should be, it doesn't mean you have to use optics but it means that the rest of us don't have to cut up our slides or get rid of factory coatings just to have an optic.
I dont understand a company not incorporating some optics option into handguns these days. Unless its a very special purpose gun or where it ruins the form/function somehow or it would somehow add significant cost to production(not likely starting at the design level)
@@pittwm that's how my dad is too. He got cataract surgery that helped for almost a decade, but now that his vision is getting worse, a red dot is imperative.
Never thought I'd see the day Kel-Tec make a metal frame gun. With all these companies making metal frame pistols lately I'm starting to think we're going to see aluminum and steel pistols competing with polymer pistols again, we really are living in the 90s again.
Keltec P11 was ahead of the completion by about 25 years. And it really still is. 11 Round Micro Compact 9mm weighing only 14 oz. Please bring back a new improved P11
As an aside, the P-11 will take S&W Model 59 magazines and work flawlessly. At least in my example. The additional length helps with those having larger hands so the Pinkie finger isn't sticking below, but there is a gap due to the longer length. When I carry my P-11, it has the original flush magazine and I carry the Model 59 mag as a spare. The downside is that since I've gotten so used to the HORRENDOUS trigger, I have to use utmost caution if I pick my nose. I could end up giving myself Dain Bramage. But the Girls are usually very satisfied for "that" reason. Heh, heh, heh. 😉😎😈
@@user-td1zo3tv9p Are you talking about the 400 pound trigger pull that is so long that is does not break until you pull the trigger through the grip of the gun?
I appreciate what Kel Tec does. They're always on the cutting edge and doing things first. This may be at the point of diminishing returns since you can get a P365XL with 12 and 15 round mags, but it's nice they're doing this regardless.
A 365xl is nearly identical in dimension as a 43x with 15 rnd mags. Different grip, trigger, etc but very very close in size. I'm curious to see what the actual specs are and how it feels.
@@justsayin7937 the 15 round mags cost 40 bucks, the mag catch you need to use cost 35 bucks or so, the shield arms mags are aftermarket and not as reliable as Glock factory mags….. I own the 48 (fuck the 43x) and I still carry my sig 365 XL because it’s better. Not only right out of the box, I mean in every way except one, aftermarket parts.
I liked my P-11 because it was capable of firing again if a misfire occurred: no need to recycle the gun because it was DAO. And it was my most accurate 9mm despite the short barrel and the heavy trigger. Sadly, it was stolen and I couldn't replace it because it was no longer sold in California.
I think the almost $800 MSRP for the aluminum frame version is a huge misstep. You're starting to get away from concealed carry gun and budget gun prices towards collector prices. They aren't the same market and the former are not paying almost $1k for a handgun and the latter are not paying almost $1k for a KelTec. It looks really cool though and I hope they succeed.
FWIW it'll probably be more like 600-700 range in stores, but I do agree that seems a bit high. Definitely suffers a bit when you have to ask if you should just get a Beretta 92x or something at that price point if you want a metal alloyed pistol.
Agreed… so someone sell me on these vs a Glock 43x with s15 mags or the P365x or XL with the MagGuts kit. Both of those are from companies with a much better track record and would cost far less leaving funds for training, ammo, and holsters.
@@Toddinlou well for the aluminum frame obviously that's a bit different from a polymer framed gun. The polymer version being 425 actually seems like a great deal when you consider it'll probably be 350 or so street price and then compete with like the Beretta APX and Taurus G3C.
It’s always exciting to see what Kel-Tec comes up with. How about they retrofit/redesign James’s favorite Kel-Tec pistol the P-32 and P3AT and produce an updated version of the most reliable firearms that they have ever made.
Well don’t be surprised if it’s another unreliable piece of shit like their PF9’s and other POS’s. They innovate really neat piles of dog shit though….
Amen on the comments about the P11 trigger. Good reliable little gun but heavens to Murgatroyd that trigger was terribly awful in every way possible. However after practicing and getting good with it, any double action revolver I pick up is a total piece of cake. I recommend it as a training aid, hand exerciser if nothing else. Looks like they’re really stepping up their game. That might help them be taken more seriously in the mainstream. I’d love to see that. As long as they keep being innovative.
I bought a P-11 when they first came out and carried it for years. I never had any issues with it, It was like carrying a small double action 10 round revolver.
The P-11 was a great gun. I bought one of the first ones. My only complaint has been the rear sights. After my first 200 rounds it was reliable. The trigger pull was not as bad as you guys say. It was light and easy to carry and conceal. It beat a snubby revolver by having 11 rds instead of 5. I was in a gunfight where it saved my life. I hit the tree that was between us2x , (there was a physical scuffle at first). I may of hit him with my 3rd shot, but I do not think so. BTW he was pointing a full size revolver at me. It looked like a .38/357. I promise I did not notice the pull weight during those moments. I know I cut my teeth on a revolver as I was trained in the mid 80s on a .38 revolver. I have been laughed at about my kel-tec many times but I do not care. It worked when I needed it. I am disappointed that this new gun is a striker fired. Everything now is a striker fired....they are not as safe as a true DAO. People just need to learn how to pull a 9 lb trigger. It is not as hard as it pretended.
I have always admired Kel -Tec's innovative drive, however, it would be a stretch to say that I would trust my life with anything that comes out of their factory.
Bless Kel Tec! They make the firearms world so much more interesting. I used to hate Kel Tec products before because I believed anything so bizarre and cheap wasnt going to be good however I was wrong and they make some of the most successful classic guns of all time! I never expected it in a million years but my crazy little P-11 and my tiny super micro P-32 are two of my favorite pistols of all time. The P-11 and P-32 are still very relevant all these years later and in many ways still better than a lot of the new guns on the market today. There slogan of innovative and quality at this time holds true for now. All I can say is dont hate until you give an un-biased try. One of there products may become one of your favorite of all time like what happened to me.
I had a p-40 back in the day. They were pretty limiter and brutal recoil. 300 rounds and the slide busted off. Keltec fixed it for free. I have several keltec guns to this day and will be adding this one to my collection.
Who is going to pay $700+ for a Kel-Tec? I admit that these new releases look much better than previous offerings but I think there is ground to make up before we are approaching that price range. Lots of other much more proven and better trusted quality options out there. I like the direction and wish them the best.
YES YES YES FINALLY !!! SOME INNOVATION KUDOS TO KELTEC. Aluminum frames, slides designed around the optic mounting priority BIG FAT YES. Just give the aluminum frame picatinny rails already and facelift it a bit to look pretty also improve the grip ergonomics to a more PDP style.
It pisses me off that so many people are going to see this pistol and think that they're being late to the game, instead of giving them the credit they deserve for being the first. The P11 was by no means perfect, but it still deserves credit.. Especially when you bring up the spec sheet of the P11 and the p365 and look at the two of them side-by-side. Sig just perfected the P11 before Kel-Tec did....
A micro compact 5.7 sounds like a bad idea. Ballistics aren't great and an even shorter barrel drops it down to .22 mag levels. Until 5.7 ammo gets cheaper there's little point. A 22 TCM wouldn't be too difficult though, and prices are more inline with keltec owner budgets.
@@MrClassifide That, a .40 S&W as well as the new Federal .30 Carry. If you're going to look at one you may as well look at all of them. Of course no shade upon .45 ACP or .38 Super. :)
I've had a P32, P3AT (380acp) and P11 Great lightweight small guns for summertime and motorcycle carry. ( That current role is filled by a Kahr PM45 series now ) Really glad to see the striker trigger by Keltec now. My P11 was a stapler. These will be a really great daily carry gun. Nice alternative to P365, Hellcat, and glock 43/48.
Kel Tec is just great for coming up with unique guns . I have owned the 22mag pistol and the P17 and the sub 2000 and the shotgun and loved them all . Almost lost them in a boating accident but they are so light I think they would float.
Thanks for the video. I'm guessing that I won't put this one all that high on my list, but I like knowing what's happening. If I were going to get a Kel-Tec, I'd get the RBD, the CMR-30, or one of those tiny pistols.
I have an RDB and a KSG 12 gauge. Both are fun and reliable. I'm considering the p50, but the price of 5.7x28 is insane right now, my Ruger 57 just sits in my safe with two 50 round boxes which are enough to fill one p50 mag two times.
@@crankyyankee2475 The KSG with the double-tube doesn't really appeal to me. The one with the single tube could be worthwhile. I like the lower weight of that one.
Does it have a standard rail? Because I didnt realize how annoying it would be finding a light for my P365. Sig refuses to make a grip with a standard rail.
@@a.juarez9770 thanks for that info. Will check that out. Great little gun, and truly debatable if a light is needed on a deeper concealment weapon, but damn... I sure would have liked the option. The stupid proprietary rail is exhasperatingly frustrating.
Love Kel Tec. Been wanting to get a smaller pistol for CC (been carrying a full size HK p2000 for awhile now) and now Kel Tec, one of my favorite manufacturers, is releasing this around the time I wanna get a new CC. Great timing.
A 14 oz keltec pistol with the beach plastic and potmetal they make these out of it sounds like lighting an M80 in your hand. $795 for the metal version. You can can buy a Beretta 92X or a SA 35 for under $700 ! Are they insane ?
Kel Tec always has cool interesting designs and ideas, then they put it in production and like half of the finished product functions properly Meh.5/10
Gonna have to see one of these get tortured before I buy but man do I want one. Kel Tec is exactly what the industry needs as far as innovation and setting the status quo
@@xavierh.5102 Makes no sense because grip safeties are the least intrusive safeties (if done properly). I can see this being a nice feature for those who carry appendix.
Very cool! I love my P11 but understand a modern revamp. I wish instead of striker fired they did a greatly improved hammer fired (maybe something like an HK LEM ish). Still want one of each material already.
When James said..."a sweaty lust..." the Kel-Tec guy's expression is priceless, he just let the remark hang there, then he brow rolls the camera...lol...
I haven’t been very excited about 2 things kel Tecs and micro hand cannons. But the p15 might actually be the first kel Tec and micro pew I like. Imagine finding both in one.
Great Video Chad and James! Dude you guys Rock.. I'm getting one ! Great Review/interview Overall! Concealed Carry finest choice! Bravo George and KEL TEC!
Very exciting. I wonder how much heavier the metal framed version is. I bet it looks and feels a lot better. It's really cool to see such a cutting edge micro-compact design have an aluminum frame and wood grips version. I'm sure it will be popular, it's probably more fun to shoot and yet still lighter and smaller than rival polymer-framed guns from other companies. I always love seeing wood grips because it enables all kinds of customizations. Different woods, thicknesses, styles, silly cosplay grips, photographic "sweetheart" grips, and translucent "window" grips that let you see how many rounds are remaining (if you cut a window in the frame and magazine, like on the ASP pistol). That the rail isn't on the metal framed gun makes it less practical for defensive use. It was probably chosen for aesthetics, given that the polymer gun is an option for people who want the most efficient and practical design. I'm not sure how I feel about it. If it's only any ounce or two more, I might prefer to carry the aluminum and wood gun. I bet it's a better and more comfortable shooter, as well as a more beautiful object. Many will prefer it for reduced recoil alone, since I'm sure the lightest 9mm double-stack handgun on the market is a handful.

I was excited about the all metal version until I heard that MSRP!
Does it have a standard rail? Because I didnt realize how annoying it would be finding a light for my P365. Sig refuses to make a grip with a standard rail.
Get the icarus precision grip, that comes with standard rail.
@@a.juarez9770 I'm waiting for one. Very pricy for what Sig could make for $50, but still.
The p320 series has standard 1918 pic rails.
@@a.juarez9770 thanks for that info. Will check that out. Great little gun, and truly debatable if a light is needed on a deeper concealment weapon, but damn... I sure would have liked the option. The stupid proprietary rail is exhasperatingly frustrating.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz Yes it is expensive, but it is a solid grip out of aluminum. I like it a lot on my p365XL.
I have an old P 11. It uses a 15 round mag from a S&W 59 series. Also, excellent service from Kel Tec!
"second quarter 2022" = shipping to dealers sometime around October 2025.
Love Kel Tec. Been wanting to get a smaller pistol for CC (been carrying a full size HK p2000 for awhile now) and now Kel Tec, one of my favorite manufacturers, is releasing this around the time I wanna get a new CC. Great timing.
A 14 oz keltec pistol with the beach plastic and potmetal they make these out of it sounds like lighting an M80 in your hand. $795 for the metal version. You can can buy a Beretta 92X or a SA 35 for under $700 ! Are they insane ?
I have carried a keltec for 10 years. You can pull it full of pocket lint and rust from sweat it has never failed fire or feed.
I want to see it compared to other guns in size, primarily the G26.
Kel tec stepping their game up...💯
I mean, I just bought a Sig P365 XL so I think I'm good.
Same.. we good.
My daily pocket carry for 20 ish years is a Kel Tec P3AT. I've put over 600 rounds thru it and it works great. I just may be considering an upgrade.
Kel Tec always has cool interesting designs and ideas, then they put it in production and like half of the finished product functions properly
Meh.5/10
The coolest most innovative company! Nobody ever said about keltec!
James is a MUCH better Kel-Tec salesman than the Kel-Tec representative.
My first gun was a keltec pf9 I bought in 2011. Haven't gotten another keltec since but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this p15.
Gonna have to see one of these get tortured before I buy but man do I want one. Kel Tec is exactly what the industry needs as far as innovation and setting the status quo
Will this pistol work well in neighborhood watch “self defense” situations?
Looks great! I can't wait until an actual gun manufacturer makes this!
It's such a cheap shot. Kel-Tec is a real manufacturer. I'm a happy owner.
@@WALTERBROADDUS how many times have you sent it back to the factory?
@@spocko2181 Never.
Loved my p11. one of the best shooting guns I've owned
This could be my next EDC if it's proven to be reliable. They are the most innovative gun company....
Extreme innovation typically comes at the cost of something and that is normally reliability.
George is the man
Lightest, slimmest, most prone to malfunction 15rd 9mm ever created!
Every Keltec pistol should come with a prepaid FedEx or UPS label for sending for it's initial warranty service!
Comes with a Dremel tool for the fluff and buff it will require to function.
So far this is the gun I'm most excited about 👍
Putting a grip safety on any modern gun is pointless
Yeah, that is a deal breaker for sure.
Ok John wayne
people really have to look for things to complain about these days don't they.
@@xavierh.5102 Makes no sense because grip safeties are the least intrusive safeties (if done properly). I can see this being a nice feature for those who carry appendix.
Putting a grip safety on a modern gun with a hammer is pointless. Striker fired pistols greatly benefit from having them
Chad is the man!Love Kel Tec!!
Gross 🤢
Manufacturers brought their A game to this Shot Show. Lots a cool products.
I love Keltec as a company, they never follow always lead , the sub2k was awesome .
Keltecs the bro gun designers n I love how they react with content creators, always chill n laid back.
Chad is literally the chillest dude of all time.
Gotta love kel tec they are always looking to innovate and compete.
The Kel-Tec guys are great. I hung out with Matt and talked about shooting sports and guns it was fun.
Keltec is always... interesting
I love it
Im loving these ShotShow updates for TFB!! Keep up the good work guys!
Very cool! I love my P11 but understand a modern revamp. I wish instead of striker fired they did a greatly improved hammer fired (maybe something like an HK LEM ish).
Still want one of each material already.
kel-tech is just an all out awesome company, huge fan
The metal and wood=insta buy... if GunShorts likes it of course.
Interesting. I have the Mossberg Mc2c and it came with a 12 & a 15 rd. mag. I ordered it with night sights. Love it.
Mine came with a 11 and a 14 round mag
@@gmoney313. Mine may have also. Maybe I counted 1 in the pipe.
When James said..."a sweaty lust..." the Kel-Tec guy's expression is priceless, he just let the remark hang there, then he brow rolls the camera...lol...
James is so damn funny. I believe he could make anyone smile.
I’m sure it will work flawlessly with zero problems.
Im not a huge keltec fan but they always seem to innovate. I cant wait to see what this gun feels like and how its all put together.
i love watching TFB TV at shot show i dont even own a gun maybe never will still love it
Gonna be weird if this ends up as small as the new crop of .30SC pistols.
As long as the barrel rifling doesnt like like I did it in my garage, like so many Keltecs I have seen do, Im intrigued
That keltec guy is very down to earth I like he wasn't trying to act just talk like normal
KelTec. They ALWAYS innovate. Sometimes where they shouldn’t. But THIS I’m looking forward to!
Kel Tec has some creative engineers, they are like machines.
I was never really a kel tec fan but honestly this looks pretty nice
I haven’t been very excited about 2 things kel Tecs and micro hand cannons. But the p15 might actually be the first kel Tec and micro pew I like. Imagine finding both in one.
That said I want the aluminum and wood version.
I love this dude’s “yeah I work here but I don’t really know what’s going on“ energy 😎
Great Video Chad and James! Dude you guys Rock.. I'm getting one ! Great Review/interview Overall! Concealed Carry finest choice! Bravo George and KEL TEC!
Very exciting. I wonder how much heavier the metal framed version is. I bet it looks and feels a lot better. It's really cool to see such a cutting edge micro-compact design have an aluminum frame and wood grips version. I'm sure it will be popular, it's probably more fun to shoot and yet still lighter and smaller than rival polymer-framed guns from other companies.
I always love seeing wood grips because it enables all kinds of customizations. Different woods, thicknesses, styles, silly cosplay grips, photographic "sweetheart" grips, and translucent "window" grips that let you see how many rounds are remaining (if you cut a window in the frame and magazine, like on the ASP pistol).
That the rail isn't on the metal framed gun makes it less practical for defensive use. It was probably chosen for aesthetics, given that the polymer gun is an option for people who want the most efficient and practical design. I'm not sure how I feel about it. If it's only any ounce or two more, I might prefer to carry the aluminum and wood gun. I bet it's a better and more comfortable shooter, as well as a more beautiful object. Many will prefer it for reduced recoil alone, since I'm sure the lightest 9mm double-stack handgun on the market is a handful.
Yesss! This is one of the first pistols I wanted in a while. To bad hi-point has been hyping up the Yeet Cannon for yrs and hasn't delivered.
Nice. That’s pretty cool that they’re starting to offer metal versions as well.
I've had good luck with Kel Tec handguns. Two I own have been good to me.
That will be a big hit! Thanks for sharing that with us
