I must apologize in advance.

"Good for the price", and "cheap but reliable" just don't move me to want to buy a pistol. Those statements sound good if I'm shopping for a new sprinkler head, hammer, or wheel barrow....but not a gun.

I would use one maybe one day as a range beater such as my now Taurus 740 Slim, as I always keep at least one "it's so cheap that of it breaks I'll just chunk it gun". But, if KT can put a reliable pistol in the hands of a citizen who does not have Glock money...then that's a good thing.

The one KT that's interesting to me is the P32, but my LCP trumps it.

No offense taken here as varying opinions are the spice of life if you will (provided proper etiquette). That being said, cheap does not translate into poor quality. Here's the definition of cheap via an online dictionary:

[cheap] At or for a low price: "a house that was going cheap".
Adjective: (of an item for sale) Low in price; worth more than its cost.


That is precisely how I look at say my P11 or Sub2K. Are they the same build as their more expensive equivilant, say a Ruger LCP and Beretta CX storm carbine? Absolutely not. My needs necessitated the 'cheaper' alternative much the same as a 'cheaper' Ford Expedition is not a more 'expensive' Lexus RX 350.

Obviously everything is 'subjective' but that's life.

-Cheers

I have a P11 for a truck gun. It is reliable. I hate the ultra heavy trigger. It was a gift so I am not complaining at all. It goes bang if the trigger is pulled, and there is a live round in the chamber.
