Getting back to the original intent of the thread and sort of re-inforcing my first statement:

What's "in" ? Well, that could be debated six ways till sunday.

What's "best": again, very subjective.

So, now we come back to having a gun you can fell confident in and take pride in; and I'm sensing that's what you're really trying to get down to.

So, with that in mind, I can say the Seecamp is really a great pistol; very high quality.

The Kel-Tec is not the quality of the Seecamp for sure, but it's a great little pistol that is lighter in weight and a fraction of the cost.

So the rest is for you to decide what you really need in a pistol. I think pride of ownership is never to be overlooked, so I could never fault you for such a thing. If you don't like it, you're much less to be enthused about it, and therefore much less inclined to take it out and enjoy it in the way of shooting. And at the end of the day, a pistol that is never shot, is pretty much worthless.

So buy the one you think you're going to shoot and shoot a lot.
