KelTec does not ride on past accomplishments. They are always looking to what the market wants and coming up with innovative designs to fufill those needs.

KelTec says the RFB possesses a good trigger as well (unconfirmed). Also reviewed in this KelTec booth review by Nutnfancy is the KelTec folding D2 steel bayonet (maybe a ...
