Is there anyway to check the serial number on a gun to see if it's "hot" or anything? I'm also lookin at a hi point 9mm

Call your local PD with the SN, they should run it.

I bought an "early" 2001-vintage .32 cal KelTec. It was accurate enough for its design intention, but by the time I could shoot it to my standard of proficiency, I'd pretty well worn it out. Takedown pin migrated out while I was at the range one day, and damned if the whole upper half didn't fling itself towards the target, guide-rod, spring, barrel, and slide! Recovered most of the parts, but, the good folks in Florida sent a freebie replacement for what was missing.

Kel Tech are junk pistols...not worth it...

Ya want a 380..take a look at the kahr line of pistols....hands down better than Kel Tech

Oh and make sure ya have a great life insurance policy....cuz if ya shoot somebody with a 380...ya are going to do nothing other than **** them off....it's a **** poor cartridge...

Keep shooting until his attitude changes. If you only shoot him once, you deserve the asskicking that might ensue.

I don't like kel-tec, I've had issues with two of them, plus all the recall and quality issues.
