saw this "dinky looking thing"in the new guns@ammo magazine today.10 rounds of .223 or it will accept a ar-15 magazine ,why would a person need 30 rounds to whack a ground hog?this looks to be more of a assault weapon than a "hunting rig"...kel-tec.com...jim257

In case they charge???

Seriously, what does NEED have to do with it???? We all have stuff we don't need......and it's not an assault weapon unless you assault somebody with it.........

I sometimes predator hunt with an AR15......very accurate and great when several coyotes come in at the same time!!

That is one cool looking handgun. I would probably go broke just shooting that thing.

I saw one of these pistols and handled it yesterday. Pretty hefty pistol. It had a factory installed bipod on it also.
I think I could make use of the high capacity when busting PDogs. Gun shop wouldn't let me take it out back and run a magazine through it.
I may go back next week and see what I can get him down to.
He didn't even have a price on it yet.

I stopped by their booth today and had a look at the gun. It has a pretty decent trigger for what it is but from what I was told by the rep, they are marketing it as a tactical pistol and not really a hunting handgun. When I asked about the accuracy the guy was sort of evasive. It has an optional accessory kit with a threaded muzzle break and a tactical forend with a rail system for mounting a tac light under the barrel.

One word...YUCK!! Not my flavor...but I do not own one semi-auto handgun.

Gary...it says on the site that it is a "Tactical and hunting pistol." Maybe the rep needs to read the website.

Dan I saw that too and I admit their guy in the booth was sort of a goober.
