I wouldn't knock Kel Tec quality. I carried Kel Tec's as back up pistols for years and never had a malfunction. I trained hard with them and, when IDPA came around, I used, P11, P9 and P3AT in IDPA matches. They may be inexpensive, but they aren't cheap. Fellow competitors were surprised to see how accurate a P3AT could be considering how small it is.
