Amazon had the Fortis MFG SHIFTTM Short Angled Grip w/ KeyMod, sold by primary arms. The chinese knock off was around half or less the price of the Fortis ($66.00 ish when I picked it up).

For the keltec, recommend either a solid full sized vertgrip, or nothing at all. The verticals and anything other than just hand on fore-end tend to cause malfunctions due to drag/friction/leverarm not designed into the system.

“For the keltec, recommend either a solid full sized vertgrip, or nothing at all. “

While it hasn’t happened to me, I have heard a few people saying that the small mounting area of a vertical grip will break the handpump plastic. The recommendation is whatever device has the most surface mounting area. It makes sense to me.

The man handling of the pump action is something that I scoffed at until I tried it. I’m right handed, and I actuate the pump so firmly that I use the gun in my left hand. In fact, the whole thing is more pleasant in the left hand. The gun is an oddity for many reasons. The bullpup design lends itself to ease of portability and storage. I can use an SMG case to carry with plenty of space to spare. I can put it in my backpack. I wrote a bit here about a year ago about the grey-man need for a short overall-length firearm for modern SHTF scenarios.

All in all, the KelTec is truly a jam-o-matic. To prevent the jams and FTF conditions you just have to work it like a gorilla.
