Overview
The Kel-Tec PR-380 is an ultra-slim .380 ACP semi-automatic pistol introduced in 2026. It uses a rotating barrel to help manage recoil and an internal, non-detachable magazine loaded by stripper clips, a design that lets the grip stay exceptionally thin while still holding 11+1 or 13+1 rounds. It is aimed at the deep-concealment carry market.
