The Kel-Tec KP50 braced pistol in 5.7x28mm (brand part no. KP50BLKB) delivers 50 rounds of on-board capacity in a compact personal-defense-weapon format. Kel-Tec gives it a 9.6-inch threaded barrel, a side-folding pistol brace and a redesigned bottom-insert, drop-free magazine system. The configuration is optic ready, and ambidextrous controls include a manual safety. A B5 Systems grip and an integrated QD sling cup round out the ergonomics. Because it uses a brace and no shoulder stock, it is configured as a pistol.
