Thanks James, I should have recognized that.
I've owned several revolvers over the years but this year bought my first auto. KelTec pf9
It has good and bad opinion's but the price was right for me.
My dad has a KelTec p11, which is a subcompact 9mm. He likes it, and like you say, the price is right. It's made in America 100% (Florida company) and though there are some gripes about them, I think it is mainly by people who just won't like anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I shot my dad's gun a few times and found it to be pretty reliable, so long as you don't limp wrist it while shooting. That can cause the slide to not fully compress the recoil spring and not go far enough back to catch the next round, causing a failure to feed, or possibly a failure to eject the spent casing.
I like KelTec, and the only thing I ever seen about them is that sometimes there may be a few parts that need a little buffing or deburring, and that was only with new-to-the-market products before they got their stuff 100% nailed down.
There are some guns out there that are as cheap as, or cheaper than, KelTec which aren't worth half the price... but KelTec, I think, is a lot of value for the economical price.
