Kel-Tec started in 1991 as a manufacturer of concealed carry handguns and has grown into one of the largest firearm producers in the US and the world. George Kellgren, the founder, is a Swedish gun designer who participated in several Swedish and American firearm businesses before the Kel-Tec incorporation in Florida.
Today, the company builds innovative semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns for competitive and tactical shooters, plinkers, and people needing a firearm to defend themselves and their loved ones. The first Kel-Tec pistol was the P11, a semi-auto polymer-framed subcompact pistol in 9mm that was hard-hitting, easy to conceal and carry every day, and easy to use.
Kel-Tec Pistols
The company’s range of handguns includes subcompact and compact pistols for concealed carry, full-size pistols for target shooting and small-game hunting, and innovative sport utility pistols.
If you’re looking for an EDC weapon, consider a Kel-Tec 9mm pistol, the P15. The striker-fired trigger is easy to shoot, and 15+1 rounds will be enough to stop that threat. People who have issues with handling big-caliber handguns may want to opt for the Kel-Tec P17. Chambered in .22 LR, it gives mild recoil. Want something bigger? Why not consider the Kel-Tec PMR 30. It’s a Magnum pistol chambered in .22 WMR, ideal for plinking, open-carry, home-defense, hunting, and backpacking. The Kel-Tec CP33 is a great pistol for tactical shooting and competition since it holds 33 rounds and features a long slide for mounting your favorite optics and accessories.
For savvy gun enthusiasts, the company has introduced the beasty Kel-Tec P50. It’s a one-of-a-kind pistol with a mind-blowing capacity of 50 rounds of the 5.7x28mm.
Kel-Tec Rifles
The company builds rifles featuring innovative systems and components for tactical shooters, hunters, and sportsmen, from Kel-Tec 9mm rifles like the suppressed SUB CQB and the folding SUB2000 to bullpup rifles in .223 Rem and .308 Win.
Kel-Tec Shotguns
The company has two shotgun models at this time, but these two will definitely impress the savviest shotgun shooter. The Kel-Tec KSG and the Kel-Tec KS7 are bullpup pump-action 12ga shotguns with completely ambidextrous controls.
