I looked at all types of smaller handguns and couldn't decide which one to get, if any. I was able to pick one up for $225 (great deal , usually $325) so I bought it not knowing if I was going to like it or not. The first 6 shots had me wondering if I made the right choice but after having it out a few times you will get the feel for it. The only thing the Kel Tec has feature wise that was perhaps an advantage is a clip that actually can be installed on the gun so you can attach it directly to a belt and carry OWB without a holster. I have to carry IWB so I bought a pocket holster and keep it in my front pocket or use as IWB on my right hip.
