With a sling attached, the P50 can consistently make accurate shots from ranges up to 100 yards (91 m). The bolt is longer than that of an average handgun, which helps reduce recoil, making the P50 "significantly more accurate than 9mm machine pistols or their semiauto lookalikes". At 50 yards, the P50 has an average shot grouping of 1.5 inches (38 mm). Kel-Tec has stated that they have no intention of creating any braces or other accessories for the P50, leaving the aftermarket to "do their thing". At nine inches, it is over double the length of the barrel of the FN Five-seven, and only one inch less than the P90's barrel. The P50 has an unusually long barrel for a handgun, helping to improve its muzzle velocity. The barrel and moving parts are made from steel, with a polymer frame and lower receiver to reduce weight. A Picatinny rail is located on the upper receiver, and a second rail is located below the magazine. Like the P90, the rounds are rotated at a 90 degree angle from the magazine into the chamber.
The P50 is a straight blowback semi-automatic pistol that feeds from FN P90 magazines. In January 2021, Kel-Tec's official website revealed details about the P50, saying that the weapon was going to begin shipping in March 2021, with an MSRP of $995. The image advertised the pistol's ability to feed from 50 round 5.7×28mm magazines, and it is described as the "most unique Kel-Tec yet." The image subsequently spread to the rest of the Internet, which coincided with a trademark of the name P50, registered by Kel-Tec in February 2020. It’s a damn accurate gun.In December 2020, an image of a magazine cover showcasing the P50 was leaked on KTOG, an online forum dedicated to Kel-Tec.
KEL TEC P 11 PRICE UPGRADE
It completely upgrade my opinion of the P11. Then a couple years later I shot Countertop’s. you and I shot a P11 from the rental counter at Coal Creek Armory. The fine Mec-Gar mags are a loose fit in the Kramer, so I slide the mag in alongside a doubled-over Q-tip to provide tension (and give me something to clean dirt with if I need to).īTW, my primary mag holds Ranger 147-gr, but my secondary is 124-gr NATO ball, for static urban work against a harder target. I carry mine in a Don Hume #30-1 belt-slide, and the spare maggy in a Kramer single open-top mag carrier made for Glock 19 mags. Grip is very important, as this little pistol WILL give you a nasty slide bite, especially during peek-and-shoot work from behind a low barrier (where you HAVE to alter your grip). The trigger pull is VERY long, but smooth and NOT stagy. I’ve not found any ammo the gun won’t like, and have shot Federal Classic, PMC HP and Winchester Ranger in it, as well as 115-grain ball for practice. The price point is excellent, with these pistols being available used for $200-250. I like the three-dot sights on mine, and can hit metal silhouettes at 25 meters almost every round, and easily “walk” fire onto the 50-yard clangers during tactical practice. I’ve had one for several years, and it is my primary carry piece, and yes, I’ve qualified with it for LEOSA national carry. I saw one at a gun shop recently (You can’t buy them new here…at least for the moment) and I’m starting to kick myself for not buying it. Posted in uncategorized on November 10th, 2009
