Keltec P-50

Anyone see these yet?  I've always been interested in this cartridge, but FN's prices were always just too high for me.  Ruger's entry was interesting, and this one is too.  Still doubt I'll get one, but i do like it.

I keep checking with my LGS but no luck yet. My collection needs one of these.

Keltec is one of the most frustrating companies! They come out with interesting designs, but damn, you can never find them in shops!

I swear they’re low key the industry’s R&D department. If it was revealed that the big US manufacturers all threw them some coin to keep them afloat, I wouldn’t be surprised. I swear selling guns is a side business to coming up with goofy #### that will be a hit a decade or more down the road.

The muzzle is threaded for a suppressor, and comes with a thread protector installed. As the 5.7 round depends on velocity for its effectiveness, this is a good thing. With a boost of some 250 to 325 fps.

The Gun Crew in Old Hickory normally has them in stock. I've held one there.

The gun is somewhat clunky due to the 50rd mag & gun size requirements to make it fit. It opens with a clamshell action, which is not my fav. But they sell every single one they bring in, so there's a demand for them. Retail is around $1100-1200.

I have a Kel-Tec PMR & CMR-30, so I like the brand. While no where near as refined as a H&K, they certainly think outside of the box. Their KSG shotgun was a game changer as well.

I finally got one at G&L. I can't wait to take it out and make some noise.

Is there an arm brace made for those?
