I've shot the Ruger LCP and the Kel-Tec. The Ruger is okay but in my opinion the S&W I have is better balanced and has the heft it needs to make it comfortable to shoot, and accurate. A friend has the Kel-Tec. I can shoot it very accurately but I handed it back to him after one clip and don't care if I never shoot one again. It's just too damned small and the thought of shooting a hundred rounds through it at a range is a turnoff. I understand that in a defensive situation it doesn't go beyond the first clip but I just do not want a gun that I don't enjoy shooting.
