Many people who bad mouth Kel-Tec firearms have never owned one and assume they are poor guns because they are inexpensive. I own several: P-11, PF-9, P3AT, P32, Sub 2000 in 9mm, PMR 30. I like mine and all have functioned reliably when loaded according to recommendations. That said, a local big box store that I visited this morning has the Ruger LC9s for $299. $50 or so more than the P-11, and for that difference I'd buy the Ruger.

As another poster noted, the light weight 9mms of any brand are not fun range toys because of the recoil.
