My opinion & some think it is woth exactly what I sell it for.
If you want a KelTec, I think one that is used, been back to the factory, you can shoot & verify reliable is worth more than a new one. About half are going back.
MY opinion, probably worth about the same as yours...
I have a KelTec P32 and a P11. I have had both for a couple of years and neither have given me one problem. Both have been 100% reliable, and self defense accurate..
I disagree with you in that I would not recommend a "used" KT... At one time KT Customer Service warranted their products for a lifetime whether you were the original purchaser or not. My understanding is that is NOT the case any longer.
Go ahead and pay the $250 (more or less) and buy NEW... Take it home, clean it and shoot the daylights out of it until you are satisfied it is 100% reliable.. Then load it up and cc to your hearts content. Every few months shoot out the old ammo, reload and you are good to go.
If you have the misfortune to get a lemon, and that can happen, call for a shipping tag, send it back for a fix. Should be free, no charge, and check it out all over again. KelTec has an excellent customer service reputation and they are producing thousands and thousands and thousands of the P32's/P3AT's/PF-9's and P11's... Whoever said about half of them go back to be fixed is full of crap.
Keltecs are by their nature designed to be carried a lot and shot a little. They are extremely small and light, and inexpensive...... Understand that, get a good one, and go about your business.
They are NOT target pistols, nor are the pistols for marathon shoot-off's.. They are a last defense self protection firearm, and do a darn good job.
