 Play with a KelTec what?  I've got a Sub2000 in 9mm.  Very fun, very nice. 
Would have preferred it in .40 but all I ever saw was 9mm.  
 
 Have a Grendel P12 and a Grendel P30, both made by the George Kellgren company
that immediately preceeded his forming of KelTec.  The P12 is actually my
backup carry, and on the rare instance that I wore it in an OWB holster it was
amusing to have a gun store employee spot it and ask how I liked my P10. 
Simple enough mistake but I was surprised and impressed to note that he HAD
recognized it as a Grendel, just be viewing the exposed portion of the grip.
 
 The P30 is quite fun to shoot but very finicky when it comes to ammo.  I find
it really like Armscor 40 grain.  Seems to feed and eject pretty well, but like
any .22 rimfire it gets pretty dirty pretty fast.  I usually keep a cleaning
brush in the shooting bag just to be able to scrape off the worst of the
residue in a lengthy shooting session.  The Grendels aren't the only ones that
gum up quick, I do the same when shooting any of my .22 autoloaders, Colt,
Ruger, Marlin,  all the autoloaders do the same thing.  
 
 Anyway, like I said, the only Kel-Tec I have is the Sub2000 and it's a nice
little camp/hiking gun.  The folding design makes it easy to stow, it's
"accurate enough" and with a rail on the bottom you can mount a laser (I did)
or a tactical light.  I can easily see the Sub2000/light combo as an effective
campsite security combination and the fact that it accepts Glock magazines
means that the number of available rounds should NOT ever be a concern.  A 9mm
carbine with a fully stocked 30 round magazine is an effective way of
protecting one and one's own.
