Questions about Kel-Tec?

[Fud]

Does anybody know if the Kel-Tec models are similar to the Rohrbaugh with a concealed but external hammer or like the Kahr with an internal striker.

Also, do they have a repeat striker capabillity like the Rohrbaugh's or does the striker have to be re-primed like on the Kahrs.

I ask this here because I tried to register over at the Kel-Tec forum and was told that my e-mail had been pre-banned to prevent me from joining. Found that rather interesting -- that I was banned prior to even joining ... that's the first I ever heard of someone being banned before doing anything.

Fudster,

With respect to your problems with registering at KTOG, that is a bit puzzling.  You may want to email the moderator at support@webmastersguide.com and ask him what the issue might be.  

I had a similar problem at GlockTalk initially and asked the moderator/administrator about it.  I never got a response from them, so I just used a different user name and email address than originally attempting to register with, and got right in.

Sorry. Should have clarified that it was the Kel-Tec forums over at http://ktrange.com/.  Didn't even know about KTOG. Let me go see if they will take me. Thanks.

Fud,

KTRange is very particular about the e-mail address you use to register.   If you use anything that is remotely "anonymous" in nature, they won't allow it.  The software may be rejecting your domain name on your e-mail address.

The little Kel-Tecs (P-32 and P-3AT) have external concealed hammers.  They are not a true DAO, and like the Kahr or Glock, the slide has to be cycled to reset the trigger.  There is no repeat strike capability.

I can't recall if the bigger P-11 is the same way... For some reason I am thinking it is a true DAO with repeat strike capability.  Someone here will know if you can't get in at KTOG either!

Thanks for the insight about the e-mail. Since we've moved often (two years ago I was living in FL, four years before that, I was living in NJ, etc.) and since most times a local provider can offer cheaper ISP services, I've been using an e-mail service not related to my ISP in order to avoid uninterrupted e-mail services.

Oh, and thanks for the info on the Kel-Tec. I had the opportunity to hold a couple of them tonight. They felt like I was holding a "toy" in my hand -- nothing like the Rohrbaugh. I was able to see the frame slightly bend by squeezing hard.

Need to think about this some more.

PS: Saw a nice PPK in .380 on sale for under five bills with a really nice & improved trigger -- may just get that instead.

>>Based on everything you've said on this thread, the assumption you are looking for a .380, and that you are in somewhat of a hurry to decide / move on it...  if I were you I'd go with the nice PPK.  Yes.  Yes, that is what I would do, alright - the PPK with the improved trigger, as in...MYHOBBIT...TW<<

Not really in a rush to buy it but I was looking to buy something and when I saw that PPK which I've been wanting for YEARS, I just gave in and got one.

Nice Fud, How ya doin with that Colt P9? Mine is a gem. I'm waitin for a Colt Pony pocket lite, should be here in afew days.

[Fud]

Now that the weather is turning warmer, the P9 is quickly becoming my regular carry gun. The R9 is reserved for DEEP carry.

Sure would like to see Colt make a comeback and re-introduce the P9 or maybe have Rohrbaugh come out with a beef'ed up version of the R9 that's the size of the P9 or the PPK.

Hint, Hint. Are you listening Rohrbaugh?

>>Fudster...  I think it's fair to say the guys back at the factory are on top of things, if not downright waaaaaaay ahead of you...lol...!...TW<<

[Fud]

Don't tease me like that   What have you heard? what's on the drawing board and when can we expect to see it?

PS: Are they rumors off of other boards or something confirmed?

[FireBreather01]

Wow - that's too much to handle - the thought of one Rohrbaugh on the hip and the R9 as a BUG!!!

[R9SCarry]

I rather think the planned .380 will be next - but still some ways down the line.  That's all I know.

Carry of two Rohrbaughs - now there's a thought!
