Well, I got one I dont like. Trigger Pull is about 275 lbs.
If I were you, I would continue the search for the Holy Grail of CCW... the Kel Tec P11 aint it.

ive said it befor and ill say it again....reasons i choose the kel-tec p-11 over the other pistol i was considering - taurus pt-111 millinum. these 2 pistols are almost exactly the same in physical dimensions, and thats what i was looking for, small, ccw 9mm.
1. price, kel-tec was $209 taurs was $279
2. size, while not much smaller, the kel-tec was smaller
3. trigger, people complain the p-11 is too long, or too heavy. when i was examining the pt-111 about 1/3-2/3 of the way thru the trigger pull it felt as if something was chaffing, and i didnt like the feal of friction there
3. no external safety, some might view this as a minus, but its a dao, the trigger IS the safety and its one less thing to get hung up on
4. feel in my hands (prob one of the more important things). i have small hands, and short thumbs wich ruled out glock double stackers (not to mention the doubled price tag) and the p-11 just seemed to fit better.
after the fact. ive run 550rnds thru my p-11 and did have a failure to feed problem around 275. i sent it back to kel-tec where i also paid the $20 for the hard chrome slide/barrel and had them chek it out. came back just fine. ive read everyone elses problems with failure to feed and failure to extract, and ive had a few here and there, most likely cause was either a limp wrist or limp elbow on my part. ive read just as many if not worse things about the pt-111. i carry the p-11 everyday with me and have full condfidence in it as a close combat self defense gun.
my 2 cents
