I've owned several and they have all been fine. One P11 I bought from a friend who didn't like it and had problems with it. The only thing I saw was a cosmetic flaw with the gun and I got a new part for free and he had an aftermarker mag. I'm thinking operator error from him plus crappy mag. Keltecs can be a handful to shoot and are not for everyone. All manufactures will have a problem gun from time to time and keltecs will too. Don't buy any gun without reviewing it or shooting one first if possible. My P3at looks like crap from being carried so much but it works. It needs to visit Honeybee for slide plating or refinishing.
