I fondled one in a LGS last week and it was the first one that I had laid eyes on or hands on. First impression was that it was a water pistol with great sights. It appears to be very lightweight and plasticy which makes me wonder about the QC. It did not have a look of a finely crafted shooter at all but the owner of the LGS said it will not be here long based on the demand for the pistol.

Some guys have talked about the mag capacity of 30 rounds and the fact of a ladies gun with very little recoil as being great selling points. I saw the price of $799 and couldn't find anything in the pistol that sold me, but alas I'm not a 22Mag fan to begin with.

Sorry to hear about the accident with your buddy and hope that Kel Tec makes it good for him. Let us know the outcome.
