Kel-Tec PF9

[Nguyen]

Anyone own a Kel-Tec PF9 and would like to tell me how reliable they are? I had seen some mixed reviews about them, but they were back in 2012. Planning to get this as my CCW gun. I don't know any ranges or anyone that has the PF9 that I can actually shoot with.

I am interested to hear peoples imput on this. I was thinking about picking one up as well. Unfortunately Keltech dose not have a consistent track record. This put me off from buying one.

In CA you also have to SSE the PF9. The cost to SSE a pistol this cheep put me off as well.

Just brought one home. Haven't had it out to the range yet. Initial impressions: it's slim, lightweight, and feels good in the hand. If it runs anything like my Kel-Tec P40, it'll be a winner. Should make a good truck/car pistol.

I paid $299+tax/DROS, including SSE.

It is a point and shoot gun and not something you take to the range and practice with. The lightweight frame gives the gun a lot of recoil. The trigger is long but the pull is decent.

George Zimmerman gave it high marks. But then it only fired one round....

The PF9, when I owned one, was reliable and fairly accurate. I only stuck to 115 grain FMJ. I would buy one again, if given the chance.

Mine runs well- do the fluff and buff job on it yourself, and it should work nicely.

Mine will feed +P JHP reliably- more so than some high end guns.

So a friend of mine and i picked one up on 7/10/14, I took it home and cleaned the hell out of it. It feels great in my hand especially with the +1 extentions from keltec, its slim and extremely light. Took it to the range with 3 types of ammo Winchester White box Tulammo brass casing and Federal Champion. I went with the WWB first and had a FTE every other round, Tula had about the same issues but the federal was flawless, but only had 20 rounds of it with me so wasnt sure. Left the range demoralized and rdy to sell it. But i figured id give it another shot with a full box of federal. Went home cleaned it up again and 3 days later brought a full box of the federal and out of 100 rounds i had 1 FTE which was a massive improvement. My buddy ran Remington UMC bulk box and it was flawless with it.... I really really like the gun. I just want it to be 100% reliable for a carry, feels good in the hand very accurate and yes the kick is substantial but if you know this beforehand it wont bother you. Called keltec told them about my problem and they sent me a Extractor kit free of charge. I want this gun to be 100% because i like the look and feel of it. I carry a Sig938 with me but i want the Keltec to be the gun thatll sit in my car while at work or away from it for extended periods of time and the 938 as primary when itll be on me full time.

btw since seems like people are interested in it. When i got it home to take it apart it was easy enough to field strip, but putting it back together was sorta a ***** because the barrel gets caught and doesnt want to rack back, easy trick to make it work is press down on the barrel itll sink noticably and then proceed to rack slide back to lock in place,
