Owners of the Kel-Tec P15 in California often comment that it fills a gap for those wanting a higher-capacity-platform slim pistol within state magazine limits. The P15 is noted for its thin profile, and shooters who prioritize concealment find the slim grip a practical advantage.

The fiber optic front sight is one of the more consistently praised elements, improving target acquisition in varied lighting without requiring aftermarket work. The trigger on the P15 divides opinion, with some owners finding it clean for the price and others describing the reset as mushy, preferring a swap once the warranty period is up.

For California buyers the P15 is often one of the few options meeting both the state handgun roster requirements and a desire for a modern striker-fired platform. The tan and black finish has appeal for range use, though some owners note the polymer frame can show wear in the two-tone areas faster than a matte monochrome finish.
