One sweet firearm...
Bought mine back around 2012. It was my first real firearm. Bought extra mags before the ban took effect. It was a blast until all of a sudden it wouldn't feed ammo from the mag.
I tried different mags and different ammo but nothing fixed the problem. Like I said it was my first firearm so I had no idea what was going on. At that time I was buying whatever I could get my hands on so the Kel-Tec ended up in a drawer for ten years until yesterday.
I had given it a good cleaning before putting it away but pulled it out and started messing with it. I started racking the slide numerous times without a mag in place. All of a sudden this brass cylinder drops on the floor. I came to realize the last fired round never ejected. The rim and primer on the casing broke off leaving the rest of the brass stuck in the barrel.
Like I said it was my first firearm and I had zero experience in diagnosing any problem that occurred. I thought at the time that what I saw in the barrel was just part of the feed ramp.
I gave it another cleaning and tested a mag with one round in it. It worked as it is supposed to after several test feeds.
So today I went to the range with 8 fully loaded mags. The firearm functioned flawlessly. Not one FTF or FTE.
Maybe it was an omen because if it never malfunctioned I might not have the collection that I own today. Then again I might not have cared if I ever owned another firearm if it hadn't broke.
It is an accurate flame shooting firearm that draws attention with the best of them. My PMR is back in the lineup in it's rightful place that it lost 10yrs ago.
