This leads to less support of the case and possible kB's. Other pistols have similar support. Is the Kel Tec really that different from a Glock?

Shrug.

Yeah I know, but it seems you hear more about them with Glocks.

My main gun dealer (someone who really knows his shit), really doesn't like Glocks either. Say's he's taken too many out of the box that "rattle" and he's sent too many back.

The Glock is undoubtably better than a Kel Tec, but you're comparing apples and oranges. The Kel Tec is meant as a back up gun (which a lot of Glock carrying cops use), not a main service revolver.

I note (with some smugness) that Glocks have never been in the running for any serious govt. contracts and they've lost many police dept. contracts because of quality issues.
