I know this is S&W land. But have any of you got one of these?
I handeled one today. Liked it a lot.
Think my wife might like it. She says my S&W- 22 is too heavy.

Did not watch the whole video, but I do have a KelTec 2000 in .40 S&W. I like my rifle and think the company puts out a pretty good product. Like anything else brand new and hard to find (like the 15-22 was early on), it pays to hold off on buying one until some other reviews are out and the price comes down a little and any early kinks get worked out by the company. I think you should buy a S&W 15-22 now and then buy the KelTec in a year or so and then do a side by side comparison for us. (I just love to try to get other people to spend their money!!) Have fun.

Hello guy22,

The SU-22 is a nice shooter. It's light weight and very accurate. It would be perfect for your wife to use. I have both the SU-22 and Sub 2000 S&W 9mm. I have put well over 1500 rounds thru each without any major problems. Kel-Tec makes a good product at a good price point. Service is for a lifetime and they will take good care to fix any problems that may come up. Not to worry. Here is some info.(chrono) and pictures (SU-22 & Sub 2000) @ 50yds., Standing free hand.
