wise input for Kel-Tec P11 please. I saw one for $269, look all right, nice size. I'm not a gun expert or anything. Never own a Kel-Tec before. I tend to stay with the popular lines, Glock, XDm, and M&P.

The P11 is tiny. You could stick it in your pocket if you wanted.The question is, why the 11 instead of the pf9? Unless you "need" the extra capacity, the pf9 conceals better. If you want the 11 for a range gun, I would go with a much larger sized gun. IMO, the 11 doesn't give you any more than the pf9 and the price is the same.
Had a P11 that I've since moved on; sold it to a buddy at our Club. Good points are stone reliability in an adequately accurate gun at a reasonable price. Biggest complaint was the frame pounding on my first thumb joint; suggest bicycle gloves for extended range sessions.
Something else to consider. I have an LCP after having a P3AT; not hard to see where Ruger got the design. However, the Ruger has taken considerable shooting with no signs of stress or peening; the P3AT was showing the miles after very little shooting. It might be worth considering the Ruger equivalent of the P11, if for nothing than the better materials in the Ruger design.

I'll stand corrected on that; my KelTec was single stack. I'll stand by my other remarks; clever (and I do mean clever) as KelTec designs are, they would profit by a little more quality in materials.Ruger doesn't make a P11 equivalent.
They have the LCP which is = to the P3AT in .380.
They have the LC9 which is a single-stack 9mm like the PF9, but no hi-cap double-stack model that's similiar in size to the P11.

Now a small 9mm that's just like the LCP and I'd be giving Ruger some of my money.

Their customer service is outstanding, IMO. Got me runnin' right quick the one time I had an issue. I needed a 12 rounder!I'll stand corrected on that; my KelTec was single stack.
