4 Kel Tec Handguns You Should Consider Adding to Your Collection

By

It is always exciting when one of the major gunmakers introduces a firearm or piece of firearm technology that is truly innovative and unique. Kel Tec seems to do so with every gun they release. And somehow, these almost experimental-seeming guns remain both tough and reliable. That truly impressive combination is represented by the following Kel Tec handguns, worthy additions to any collection.

Kahr PM9
 Maximum Concealment: Kel Tec PF9

Kel Tec’s effective use of lightweight polymers is one of their defining characteristics and it is never put to better use than with the Kel Tec PF9. Kel Tec convincingly asserts that the slim, ultralight PF9 is the flattest and lightest pistol chambered for 9mm that’s ever been mass-produced. The only 9mm pocket pistol that seems to approach the comfortable, effective concealability of the PF9 is the also phenomenal Kahr PM9.

Lord of Plinking: Kel Tec CP33

Imagine a group of adolescent rimfire fanatics are brought together in one room and given nothing but some paper, pencils, and a whole bunch of espresso. They are directed to design the awesomest, most tacticool 22 LR handgun possible. Also, they are engineering geniuses. The result would be the quadruple-stack rimfire masterwork that is the Kel Tec CP33. The Kel Tec CP33 is a true monument to plinking with a 33+1 capacity, a suppressor-ready threaded barrel, and a charging handle rather than a slide. It is fun in gun form.

Pioneering Performance: Kel Tec PMR30

The Kel Tec PMR30 is notable for its almost startling lightness and for being chambered in the respectable and underrated 22 WMR, or 22 Magnum. It also stands out for its whopping 30+1 capacity. However, perhaps most impressive is that Kel Tec was able to engineer a 22 WMR pistol with a double-stack magazine that feeds like a dream. That is a true accomplishment.

The Game-Changer: Kel Tec P50

When the word spread that Kel Tec was working on a new handgun chambered for an iconic cult favorite—the bottleneck hot-rod 57x28mm—many assumed it would be similar to the PMR30. Being Kel Tec, they blew everyone’s expectations out of the water. The Kel Tec P50 is like nothing anyone has seen before. It is a 15-inch top-breaking semi-automatic pistol that accepts a horizontal FN P90 magazine sporting a 50-round capacity that is sandwiched in the middle of the gun. Somehow, Kel Tec managed to dwarf the previously epic-seeming handgun capacities of 30 and 33 for the PMR30 and CP33 respectively. The only question now is—what will they think of next?

When you are headed to the range, there are some pieces of tactical gear you will want to bring with you. They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand. When you are doing quick transition drills at the range, you will not want to have to toss your DPMS AR 15 in the dirt so that you can draw your Glock from the table. Here is everything you should bring to your next range outing.  A Holster for Your Handgun If you are still keeping all of your guns on a table at the range, you are losing time. You want to keep your guns close to you. For pistols, that means a holster.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

How to Fly with Your Firearms

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
