Kel tec p 11 assembly
Although sometimes faulted for insufficient production of hot sellers, Kel-Tec is gradually expanding the employee head count and the facilities as much as the space, the electrical grid and the plumbing permit.

The names Kel-Tec CNC and Brevard County Robotics, the two companies comprising Kel-Tec industrial campus, speak for themselves. As the complexity of the designs increases, so does the share of CNC and robotic tools in the manufacturing process. Even the inexpensive polymer-framed handguns were widely emulated, including some nearly direct rip-offs of the P3AT, the 380ACP variant of P-32. From the humble origins as makers of budget carry pistols, Kel-Tec moved to making mostly precision semi-auto rifles and high capacity, twin magazine pump shotguns. Today, Kel-Tec is one of the largest US gun makers with nearly 200 employees. Since then, I’ve become an even greater fan of the company and the people who run it. In 2010, I went to the Kel-Tec factory in Cocoa, FL, to see it for myself. Having had that rifle before its official release, I got to see the iterative process of refinement that made it ready for consumers. Later that year, I started working with the unique RFB 7.62mm bullpup, a battle rifle that ejected empties forward like the Maxim machine gun. In 2009, I got to meet George Kellgren at SHOT show, and we talked. Kel-Tec wasn’t the first company to use clamshells, but they made it mainstream and successful. Following in the footsteps of the metal clamshell Sub9 folding carbine, SU-16 used the same assembly method with lightweight plastic parts.

When the SU-16 series of rifles came out, I bought one of those as well. Few gun makers were as helpful to the customers when they couldn’t effect a repair. Kel-Tec tried to fix haphazard ejection direction and eventually refunded my money, a move that impressed me. By then, I also bought Kel-Tec’s first product, the P-11 pistol, which worked out less well for me. Over time, I started paying attention to the origin of that design, and George Kellgren came to my attention. I was sufficiently impressed by that gun and started an fn web page: Kel-Tec P32 The pistol was available for around $200, in itself an impressive feat by comparison with the heavier, more primitive Seecamp, which was ammo-sensitive to boot. It was the first gun to combine a very light weight of 8 ounces with excellent accuracy and minimal recoil thanks to its locked breech.

That’s when I came across the Kel-Tec P-32, a diminutive pistol that was a true breakthrough in self-defense technology. 22 rimfire or possessed of painful recoil. All options on the market seemed to be either dense and heavy, chambered for the inadequate.

My interest in Kel-Tec began in 2000 with then-restrictive Minnesota laws and the need to acquire a hideout pistol.
