Design and key specifications

The KELTEC P15 is a striker-fired, polymer pistol engineered specifically for concealability with no compromise on capacity. Weighing just 14 oz and measuring 7/8″ wide, it is the lightest, thinnest double-stack 9mm on the market. The 4″ barrel is optimized for a balance of sight radius and compact overall length: 6.6″ long and 5″ tall. Standard configuration includes one 15-round magazine (patent-pending magazine extension enabling the 15+1 total), plus a flush-fit 12-round magazine for the tightest carry pockets.

Sights, safety, and controls

Sight package is built for low-light confidence: a fiber optic front paired with a fully adjustable tritium two-dot rear delivers fast target acquisition and backed-up night capability. Controls are modern and simple—a backstrap safety and familiar striker-fired ergonomics—making the P15 intuitive for new and experienced shooters alike. An accessory rail accepts lights or small optics for tactical versatility.

Why 9mm works for concealed carry

9mm remains the go-to defensive caliber: wide ammo availability, manageable recoil, and proven terminal performance across modern defensive loads. The P15’s 15+1 capacity gives a shooter meaningful firepower in a package that still conceals easily under a range of carry methods. At 14 oz, be mindful of muzzle flip mitigation through grip technique and follow-up training to offset lighter weight characteristics.

Range performance and everyday use

On the range the 4″ barrel provides a stable sight radius for practical accuracy while keeping the pistol compact for everyday carry. The polymer frame keeps weight down for pocket or IWB carry, and the accessory rail adds flexibility for low-light setups. Priced at $425.99, the P15 presents a compelling cost-to-capability ratio for those seeking a modern concealed-carry 9mm with exceptional capacity.
