And that isn't a good thing.
I will not be shot for lack of shooting back.

That's precisely the reason I traded in my Kel Tec P11, the lightest 9 mm made.
It was very concealable, but misfed at least once every 10 rounds. I was in forum that encouraged new users to put 200 rounds through it before trusting it as well as taking a dremel and polishing the feed ramp and doing light sanding inside the slide, etc. They call it a "Kel Tec fluff and buff". The problems I mentioned are common in Kel Tecs.
Combined with the large amount of plastic and 9 pound and very long trigger pull, it wasn't a gun I wanted to trust with my life, no matter how easy it was to carry.
I've always been a fan of revolvers due to the lack of buttons, moving parts, safeties, etc, as well as the fact they go "bang" EVERY time you pull the trigger.
I couldn't be happier with my Smith and Wesson J Frame.
