Kel-Tek 9mm handguns still being manufactured?
Kel-Tek's PF9, P11, P3AT, and P32 are not to be found since Ruger copied and marketed their design. The Kel-Tek forum is no help.
Is Kel-Tek still in business? Inquiring minds want to know.

There are plenty of them on Gun-Broker. Kel-Tek is still in business, but their web-site is down until 1/5/17 for the holidays.

Kel-Tec is still in business and the site is up, Mr. George has just given his employees a nice holiday.
Kel-Tec will be closed from December 22, 2016 through January 4, 2017 in appreciation to our employees during the holidays.

Not only is Kel Tec still in business, but they also like to put out "new" designs like this Sub-2000 fun gun in 9mm!

I own several Kel-Tec firearms. Given the price point, they don't stay on the shelves long at local gun stores. A Google search will find a ton of various models for sale from various on line vendors. I've heard that Kel-Tec will make a "run" of specific model, then shift manufacturing resources to another model. I was on a waiting list for 18 months for my PMR 30, now they are for sale in many places and in many colors.

My sub 2000 was hard to find and i paid a premium price for it. There are lots of .40 calibers out there, but 9 mms are much more scarce, especially in the mag style that you want.

I carry a Kel-Tec P-11 daily. Their waistband clip is wonderful and keeps the weapon concealed under a t-shirt.
Never a jam,misfire.
I also have a P-40 with the same waist band clip.
I retired with both.

The P32 was their "first"; a design so successful it was copied by Ruger ( law suit ensued in which Kel-Tek prevailed). I've owned a little P32 for years, the only Kel-Tek I've ever owned, buts it's a well made, totally reliable, pleasant to shoot, and very light.

I still have a P11 sitting in the safe. It does not come out to play much but it has been perfectly reliable and has good accuracy once you get used to the trigger.

My every day carry P11 has a 3 digit serial number. I had a local gun shop order it for me many years ago when I first read about KelTec. In fact, I brought it around to a couple of GS that had never heard about them and they ended up carry the KT line. I have never had a misfire or failure of any kind after many, many rounds of all brands of ammo. It is small, light and perfect for CC.

I find it interesting that there seems to be a fairly large group of people that seem to be KelTec haters. From what I can tell, most of them have probably never shot, much less owned any KelTec. They simply parrot what they read on some forum or other. KelTec products are designed to work reliably, not to look pretty. I have had three KelTecs firearms and find them to be completely reliable. My latest is a Gen2 Sub2000, in 9MM. It was not an easy find and I love it.
KelTec is a family owned business that refuses to go into major debt to simply "up" the production numbers. I can respect that business model. They have increased their output over the last year or so, but still can't keep up with demand. That tells me they are doing something right.
