I'm a dealer, why can't I get Kel-Tec firearms?
We are asked this question a lot, actually. Kel-Tec is a distributor exclusive manufacturer, which means we have no control over which dealers receive our weapons. We have over 30 distributors nationwide that we rotate shipments between regularly. Once the shipments leave our facilities, we have no say as to where they go.
There is a high demand for our weapons as well, which definitely contributes to the lack of availability. We are always working to increase our production to meet demand.
So the short answer is: demand outpacing supply in conjunction with our inability to control the product distribution passed the wholesale level.
