Shitty design. Drops the brass at your feet, think about a self defense scenario. Ever step on a leggo with bare feet?

That seems like a solid deal. Maybe the price has dropped as I see a couple on Gunbroker for close to the same price but $35 shipping

Thought I got a decent deal at 900, would do it again.
I wouldn't call the trigger good, just not bad Suppresses OK but the hammer is pretty loud, with my head in the shooting position it's loud just dry firing. Seems like it would almost be quiet enough for no hearing pro if it wasn't for the hammer. Doesn't feel super high quality, but mine runs just fine Accuracy is OK, best I can do with hand loads is about 1.5MOA but still throws the occasional flier. Most factory ammo is 2-4 MOA. Objectively my 10.5" grendel ar pistol is better in every way, still think is a fun gun to own because it's different. |

Yeah. Tell you what tonight before you go to bed throw a dozen entry shell casings on the floor and step on them. Let me know if you think it's not a issue. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: If I’m stepping on brass with my bare feet, and that’s my biggest concern, then things have gone decisively my way... If a pile of brass is at your feet in a home defense scenario, it means you've already been shooting. If you've already been shooting and that brass is anywhere on your radar, things are good. It's also worth mentioning that this RDB isn't significantly different from other conventional autoloaders in this regard. With most, regardless of whether it's a rifle or a pistol, there's not that great of a chance that your brass is going to fly meters away into the clear. That brass is going to ricochet off walls and furniture. Some of that will come back at you. Hell, some firearms seem to send their brass back at the guy behind the trigger by default. Unless your HD gun is a revolver, this isn't something to get hung up on. |

Not buying a gun because you are afraid of stepping on the hot brass it produces has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Don't use it for home defense then.

Trigger is better than mil-spec.
Highly adjustable gas block works great with suppressors. It is the only mainstream bullpup that doesn't weigh as much as my mom's old Buick. If it was license built by a reputable company like Colt, FN or Steyr, it could be my only rifle in 5.56. But...it's a Kel-Tec, with all that the name implies. I can't bring myself to trust that something won't fall off after the next shot. |

I love mine!
The hand adjustable gas system is really a great feature - especially if shooting suppressed. The longer barrel (17.7") allows me to use my Liberty Mystic 9mm can to suppress it! And it fits in a tennis racket case without the suppressor! I'm wondering if there's a generation 2 around the corner with this new lower pricing! The wood stock version never came to market.
