Keltec pf9

Mine has been reliable. The small frame and stiff DOA trigger that makes it a good pocket gun makes it hard (for me) to shoot well. 6" at 10 yards is about average for me but I only shoot it every 3 or 4 months as it is not a fun gun. When I find a good holster for my new Sig Ultra 9mm it will be my CCW most of the time.
 
Onward, agree about "some 1911s". Wouldn't want a 3 inch .45 version of those either, though some here say the Colt Defenders are good.
 
I have a PF9 and a P32...haven't had a problem with either one.
I Keep them clean and oiled and shoot ammo that they like.
My PF9 doesn't get used as much anymore,but my P32 is my bug gun everyday.
 
I had an unusual occurence. I gave my PF 9 to my son. I had not fired it in perhaps a year but had no problems on my last outing. He called me and said nothing happened when he tried to fire it. I suggested he look at the firing pin, that perhaps it had broken. He called back and said he couldn't find the firing pin. Later, when I examined it, both the firing pin and its spring were absent. I have no idea how they could separate themselves from the gun without either of us noticing . Works fine with the new pin and spring .
 
I have 4 ,P-32 1 , P3AT and a PF-9 Its 5 yrs old. Passed a 1000 trouble free rounds long ago. It has become one of my most carried pistols. My CW-9 is in its case. Haven't carried or shot in a while. I like the PF-9 better . Yes a little recoil. So do lite weight 357 mag snubs . So what still easy to control . I shoot mine 1 handed as I believe when its Oh S##t time. That way you will likely be shooting . Not the nice face on, 2 hand hold taught today . Sorry but at 70 I still shoot as I was taught years back.
 
I have two Kel-Tec pistols. A P32 I bought used, in the original box. I don't think the previous iwner even cleaned the factory protectant out of it. Maybe even didn't shoot it. Lots of ftf problems with the first couple mags. Also failure to return to battery. After a good cleaning, and lube it got a lot better. My other Kel-Tec is a PMR 30. Similar, but not as sever problems at first. I haven't shot it a lot, but it did show signs of improving.
I think maybe their guns just need a good amount of running in to work reliably. Not used to that. My Ruger LCP, Kahr CM9, Springer XD40 Sub Compact, even Hi-Point C9 all ran 100% from the very start.
 
I have never personally owned a PF9, but I have shot a few. Most worked great, but a friend of mine did get a dud a few years ago. It couldn't go through a magazine without an issue. I think he ended up giving up and selling it.
 
I own 2 Kel-Tec's a .32 and a 9m/m, they are simple basic pocket pistols both with very heavy triggers, but are accurate enough for self defense use. Can't say they are fun to shoot with the 9 being the worst but have never had a f.t.f. with them and had a jam once with the .32. They are not my first chose for a carry gun but when size & weight become an issue they work very well in a pocket holster. They will never replace my light weight commander, B.H.P., or my 3 inch S&W's but are in the trusted carry group.
 
reading all...it seems that girls have a hard time shooting the PF 9 because it kicks too hard. My P-32 is way less recoil.
 
I bought a new P32, parkerized, at a good price. The P32 has a good reputation and I have found it reliable and very easy to shoot and conceal. It's not as nicely finished as my gen 1 LCP, but for the money I like it a lot, and trust it.

I did a bit of fluff and buff before firing a shot because I like my guns to run as smoothly as possible.
