keltec p15 9MM. 15+1 rounds. 0.875". msrp:$425

For everyone who snubs their nose at Keltec, there's a thousand of us who, well, just get it. George Kellgren is a legend among designers and one of the few who thinks resolutely outside the box. Since the 90's he's shunned the conservative balls and chains of firearm manufacturing and led the charge in lightweight, polymer framed pistols priced for the working man and woman. And we appreciate him. People love his guns or hate them, but the scarce availability of all his firearms is testament to the fact that most are of the former proclivity. Go try and find a Sub2000, or a P32, or a PMR30, or a PLR16! Well, truth be told any firearm is hard to find right now but KelTecs were a challenge to track down long before the current gunrush. When other manufacturers were still selling pistols heavy enough to pull your pants down, Kellgren was supplying the working stiff with featherweight personal protection and his guns were always sold out due to their popularity and price point. But it wasn't long before other makers saw the logic behind KelTec and followed in their footsteps - you might even say copied, but I'd never be so accusatory - and a whole plethora of polymer compacts flooded the market. Now it rather seems the tides have reversed and Kellgren is following the herd with the P15, but his assemblage of features, as always, beats all his competitors! At 14oz and 0.875" thin the P15 must be lightest of the light and the slimmest of the slim double-stack mid-sized 9MM pistols. Kellgren has done it again. Check it out on their WEBSITE.
