The
Kel-Tec P-11 is a relative newcomer to the world of small, easily concealed pistols. Similar in size to a
Walther PPK, the
P-11 shoots a
9mm Luger round, considered by many to be the minimum for a
primary weapon. Because of its small size, however, the
P-11 can just as easily be carried as a backup or a
deep concealment weapon. Of course, given its small size, there are certain trade-offs that one must make. It weighs under a pound, and thus felt recoil will increase. Still, it'll put a 3-inch grouping from a bench rest at 15 yards, which is excellent for any small
pistol.
I particularly like the feel of this gun. Though tiny, it feels like you're holding a much larger handgun because of the exceptional ergonomic design.
Here are some technical specs:
Caliber: 9 x 19mm Luger
Weight: 14 oz. (400g)
Length: 5.6" (142mm)
Height: 4.3" (109mm)
Width: 1" (26mm)
Sight radius: 4.6" (116mm)
Muzzle energy: 400ft/lbs (540J)
Capacity: 10+1 rounds
Action: Semiautomatic
Trigger pull: 9 lbs
There are a lot of nifty modifications that can be made to this gun to improve performance, change the look, feel, or even caliber (with a .40 S&W conversion kit).
The suggested retail price of the gun is $319, but you can pick up a P-11 for about $230-280 if you look around.
