Kel-Tec Pf9
Kel-Tec Pf9
Anyone have any experience with a PF9? Good, bad or ugly. I gotta know.
Re: Kel-Tec Pf9
I shot one this past Wednesday. Revolver-like trigger pull, a little snappy, but the recoil really isn't that bad.
Good enough for SD distances.
I ordered a P11, and plan on buying a PF9 next time I get some extra money.

I own one. Views similar to k5mitch. Long trigger pull but not hard, a bit snappy, recoil is enough that you wouldn't want to fire hundreds of rounds in one session. I'm fond of it, especially due to its size.

I took a look at one this past weekend at a show. My thoughts on that gun are in the post a linked above.
One thing that is great about that gun is the weight, which really sets it apart from the competition.

Re: Kel-Tec Pf9
Until recently, I owned a PF-9. I loved the size, weight, fire power and ergonomics of the pint sized 9mm. It was very easy to conceal while wearing darn near anything. Sure, the recoil was snappy but expected for a 12oz weapon.
The only thing that (for me) prevented it from being the perfect CC weapon was it's reliability. MINE, was truly horrid. The only shot that I could reliably expect to go bang was the first round that I kept on the pipe. After that it was a crap shoot, with the odds of a malfunction increasing with each round sent down range. Keep in mind, I hear that Kel-tec has an awesome customer service dept and will bend over backwards to make them work as designed. I never gave 'em a chance to fiddle with it as I sold it "As IS" to a friend who is a Kel-tec affectionado. Like I stated IF it was a reliable weapon I'd still own it. Instead, I now have a 100% reliable Walther PPS. I was about the cost of damn near two PF-9s but it goes bang Every Time.

Re: Kel-Tec Pf9
I have one and for some reason the PF9 seems to me at least to me, to be more prone to 'Limp Wristing' than most other plastic guns. As long as I focus on my hold, It runs pretty much 100% - If I slack off on my grip, It's a Jam-O-Matic.
I like it and it's a Great carry gun once you master it. I have other Kel-Tecs that are all great guns as long as you realize they are made to be carried alot and shot a little, Range guns they aren't.

Re: Kel-Tec Pf9
keltec's customer service is less than stellar. there was a guy on KTOG (kel tec owners group forum) who had his PF9 at keltec for ten weeks getting a magazine release installed.

i consider such times completely unacceptable for customer service.
a good friend of mine had a PF9 right when they came out. the plastic magazine release quickly deteriorated to teh point that the magazine would drop out of the gun with every shot, even if held in place with the other hand. the frame on these guns are prone to failure. newer models have the problematic section of frame removed, and it looks they hacked it out with a dremel tool where it usually breaks. i guess its not a totally necessary part of the frame, but still it seems like a half-assed way to fix the problem.
newer PF9s have a metal magazine release. they did this after two pistol packer on KTOG started making and selling his own CNC machined metal mag releases which fixed the problem of the early model plastic ones failing.
as others stated, its not the most plesant gun to shoot. it turned the webbing of my hand red after just a couple of magazines and it was painful to put an entire box of 50 through it. i'd call it one of those guns that you carry a lot and shoot a little.
