In numerous threads of discussion, both online and in person, a topic comes up that ends with "Why not just get a Kel Tec Boomenshooter model #2746.3b mod II?"
Well, I've never SEEN a Kel Tec anything in the wild apart from the ubiquitous P3AT .380. Seen lots of those. It was the model that brought Kel Tec into the big leagues and they sold a bajillion of them while other companies designed clones to meet the consumer demand for such a thing.
Yeah, they can ride the success of that little pistol to design new guns and expand production to keep up with demand.
Well, they have come up with intriguing designs, like that Bullpupish .308 and the KSG and a .22 magnum semi pistol, but, as most everyone realizes now, they sorta dropped the ball on expanding production. Which is good, as I would have bought a few things. Now the novelty has worn off and I've reconsidered for more prudent options.
Some models of Kel Tec, I think they have like a dozen made TOTAL. And 2 or 3 of those live in Oleg's safe.
[update: fixed one grammatical nightmare in the opening sentence. yeesh.]
Want!

I tend to agree with you on this topic.Some of the PM 30 pistol's are showing up here but no .308 or 12 ga. bull pups.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that have some interesting Designs, but I think they need someone who knows how to set up and run a Large Modern Production Facility to make it into the Big Leagues.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its just the area, I've seen several of the PF9s, P11s, SUB 2000s (still want! Wheres the 45 version though?), SU16s PLR 16s and PLR 22s.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I've not seen any of the newest bullpup toys, which is probably good for my wallet.
