I have two Kel tec P11s - one for practice and one for carry. The previous poster pretty much hit the nail on the head. They are easily concealed (I usually pocket carry), lite, and inexpensive. However the trigger is pretty bad and they do have a lot of recoil. SPS in Carrollton did a trigger job (put in a lighter spring) on my carry P 11 which improved it tremendously. There are also a lot of things you can do yourself if you like to do that kind of thing. Like the 1911, the Kel Tec is a tinkerer's gun.

The other issue is that you will need to replace the ejector at about 2000 rounds. Kel Tel will send you them for postage and they are easy to replace. Also in my guns, even when the ejector breaks, all but the last round will eject apparently because the pressure from any rounds still in the magazine is sufficient to push the shell out of the slide.

While I like it for carry, I know I would go in a different direction for my wife. But then, she is partial to revolvers, especially Rossi.
