Most people I've seen can't put 200 rounds through that gun without breaking it. Watch some YouTube reviews and /or shoot it at the range and see if you can get any more usage out of it.

I was always under the impression that Kel Tecs were only sold on the black market in the hands of criminals.

Sorry, couldn't hold back!

I think that $358 price on the G43 is Blue label pricing.

I think you're right. Need. More. Coffee.

I stand on my point though. Even at $450 it's a better value.

the G43 will be my next purchase.

I guess if I'm going to knock a firearm I should recommend some alternatives.
Pocket carry is very subjective. Some people can pocket carry a double stack 9 like a G26 (I cannot) and some people can't pocket carry a .22 derringer. So I will try to keep my recommendations to subcompact single stack 9s.
The first that comes to mind is the CM9 which I think is actually a little smaller than the PF9 IIRC. Others that fall into the $300 - $400 range would be the Nano, LC9, And the M&P Shield.
Others that will be well north of $400 include PM9, Sig P938, G43, and the Kimber Solo.
I'm not a huge Tauras fan either, but I would carry the PT 709 before I would the PF9.

You were more guarded with your answer than I would have been.
