Interesting new from Kel-Tec

Top loads via some weird stripper clip

Well that certainly puts the dic in ridiculous!

And they have the audacity to say that the drive behind the gun is focusing on the loss of gross motor skills in a stressful situation.

What takes more fine motor skills? Slamming home a mag into a pistol grip or loading and operating TWO stripper clips into a PISTOL. Not to mention reload speed in a kinetic environment.

It's a compact pistol that holds 20 rounds. So what's easier, carrying a 10 round capacity compact pistol with a spare mag or one that just holds all 20.

The idea isn't to speed load the thing, the idea is to not have too.

The former, most definitely...but I don't care enough to discuss it any further than this.

Maybe. I think the idea is more "Use trendy boutique caliber, do something weird distinctive with it"

Haters gonna hate. Top load pistols are the future!

How many 12oz. semi autos before the P3AT?

How many folding 9mm carbines by S&W and Ruger before the Sub2000?

How many folding 5.56 carbines before the SU16?

Bullpup rifles?

Innovative pump shotguns.

Just say, "Thanks, Kel Tec," and move on.

I ain't really interested in any of those things, and this is probably the dumbest of them all, yet I'm still excited for it. Thanks, Kel Tec!

Unusual barrel design too.

 

[rbstern]

It's pretty cool.

I had a very similar pistol 30 years ago, maybe Grendel? Regardless, a PITA to unload when you need to walk into a gun store or gunshow.. loose rounds on my floormat, between the car seats, parking lot…

I just keep carrying. No need to unload.

With a $399 MSRP, if the thing is reliable and accurate, they won't be able to make them fast enough.

Probably too much to hope for. Settle for reliable OR accurate?
