But yeah, the only time I am going to go below 9mm in caliber is when it's limited by the overall size of the gun... like the LCP. Though I don't discount the .380... I'd never want to be on the receiving end of one.

The craftsmanship on the Ruger is a bit better than the Kel-Tec. Better fit and finish and overall better out of the box reliability. I have read plenty of issues with all of the Kel-Tec handguns. If you check their forums the diehard owners recommend some intensive "fluff & buff" sessions before you fire your first shot... including a dremel, sand paper, filing...
They all definitely require some sort of break-in/testing period before you decide that they are worthy of carrying. I myself don't think I'd ever get the P3AT.

Love my glocks but I want a black chrome 1911, polished .50 AE and maybe a benelli in the future...

Kel-tec's love to jam. My P32 brand new did it constantly, the feed ramp needs to be filed down.

But I sure as hell don't want to buy a gun that I need to polish/file to make it so.

I gotta say, I love my Glock but I am not in love with it. I love that it's dead reliable, shoots well, and really just does whatever I ask of it... but aside from that it's really boring. It will remain my primary carry gun and it and my future Glocks will be my workhorses, but **** me if they aren't boring! Love 'em for it, though.

Raven Concealment OWB or maybe a belt slide. She had a holster maker fabricate a leather SOB belt slide with reverse cant. It's pretty clever. She uses a Blade-Tech drop/offset on an instructor belt at the range. The Kydex light-carrying holster in the photo above is one that I made for a low-light course she took a couple of months ago. She never uses it otherwise.

Yes a pair of 1911's! Shoulder holster with no jacket and a large mustache is required
