Why buy Kel-Tec?

So then where's your hate for Glock? Springfield? Magpul?

All have mil/LE contracts. Which to me, is a good indicator that they work.

Unattractive and unlikely to be handed down to the grandchildren since all plastic has a half-life.
But they do fill a need as a relatively inexpensive tool. I carry a Glock on the bike - don't mind if it gets wet or dropped.

Same reason I don't buy NC-Star. I'll save up my hard earned cash to purchase something that is proven reliable and hopefully will last at least a couple of generations.

I like high end equipment but equipment snobs annoy me. If it works for you and meets your needs, then great. Excessive complaints should make you wary but Kel-Tec and Taurus have both produced well-engineered products that people shoot regularly without complaint. If it's your choice, just make sure you function test it -- but that applies to any manufacturer of any equipment.

The gov't will make your polymer guns inoperable LONG BEFORE nature does.

I like my little P11 9mm. At the time that I bought it(3 years before the Ruger LCP), it was fairly unique in the industry: an inexpensive, light weight pocket pistol in 9mm (not .380). It is smaller and lighter than a PPK in .380(and less than half the price!), and carries 11 rounds of serious defensive ammo. They also offered it in .40 at one time, but discontinued it due to complaints about the recoil. Mine may have the worst trigger of any weapon I've ever owned, but it is reliable and reasonably accurate, holding about 3-4 inch groups at 15yds freestanding. Is it a Glock 26? No, but it is about 60% of the bulk, and conceals nicely in situations where my Glock might be too bulky. It wouldn't be my first choice as a defensive weapon in most situations, but it definitely fills a need for me.

Totally agree here

Because KSG.

So only AR's you'll own are for most part are colts? ha.

Yes, apparently you are a caveman, regardless of a persons opinion of keltec guns.

Sure, older guns do have a beauty in their engineering and work. But then again technology progresses and things havnt changed the way they have for no reason.

All plastic is going to outlast any wood or steel in storage or in a landfill.

Following The OP's logic, he should be driving anything 72 or earlier, you know, sans electronic ignition.

Not sure where you got Colt only from.
If by "technology progresses" you mean profit margin increases, I'll agree.

Seal up a plastic gun any way you like. It will become brittle over time. All plastic gasses - at different rates. Stress, heat, and UV will speed the process, but nothing will stop it. This has been discussed on numerous boards.
Grease up a metal and wood gun, seal it in a dry container, and it will outlast many lifetimes.
