Got a P-11 as an alternative to my J-frame .38 ... took it out for some test shooting and got a little worried when it exhibited misfires galore with Sellier and Bellot ammo. About 1 out of 3 rounds I had to pull the trigger twice before it would fire. Everything else seems to work fine, though; no misfires at all on Winchester white box and some other stuff I had. I guess that means I need to stay away from S&B ammo, huh?
I understand early P-11s suffered light hits on primers all the time. This one is a brand new hard chrome slide version. I wonder if I need to send it back or just monitor what ammo I load in it.
FWIW, while it's no P-7 or Glock, I like the Kel-Tec piece just fine for its intended purpose; close up and personal. Trigger pull is a bit long and seems more than its advertised 8.5 lbs weight. Still, at 7 meters I got groups that were just as good as my P-7; like I said, up close and personal.
If I keep it some customizing will take place. Had to do a bit of sanding inside the trigger guard to get rid of blister-raising sharp edges. That, and put on a hi-visibility set of sights ... Ashley Express or something similar. Pretty good for under $300.
