KelTec P15 Metal grips
KelTec P15 Metal grips
The KelTec P15 Metal was introduced as a premium variant of the groundbreaking P15 pistol, which debuted at SHOT Show 2022 (announced January 2022) as KelTec's first striker-fired handgun and the lightest/thinnest double-stack 9mm on the market
Building on the polymer-frame P15's success—rooted in founder George Kellgren's legacy of innovative concealed-carry designs since the 1995 P-11—the P15 Metal features a machined 7075 aluminum alloy frame with removable checkered walnut grips for enhanced durability, refined aesthetics, and a classic "European styling" look. It retains the core specs: 4-inch barrel, 15+1 capacity (9mm Luger), ultra-slim profile (≈1.27 inches wide), striker-fired action, grip safety, reversible mag release, day/night sights, and lightweight construction (≈19.2 oz unloaded)
Announced alongside the polymer model but positioned as a higher-end option (MSRP $699.99), the Metal version elevates the platform with all-metal lower assembly and wood panels for better feel and recoil management while preserving concealability and reliability. It appeals to enthusiasts seeking premium materials in KelTec's signature compact, high-capacity format—continuing the company's tradition of bold engineering for modern carry
