Keltec pf9

Just picked one up for fun.

Shot through 100 rounds o cheap tul ammo perfectly.

Shot about 8 inches high at 21 feet.

Any others have the same issue?

Trigger killed my finger but I will mod it to fix the issue.

Had one, sold it. Mine shot POA and was reliable while I had it. Plain and simple just didn't trust my life to one.

Recoil is pretty darn snappy too.

Tempted to try out the glock 42 but need to give the keltec a fair chance first.

Howdy,

I have one. I use it when I cannot carry a real gun. I've run about 1,500 rounds through mine without a hiccup using everything from 115gr steel cased Tula to NATO spec 124gr JSP, Win 147gr JHP, to my crappy reloads.

I'm not a 9mm fan but for a pocket size pistol it's hard to beat.

If it's good enough for George Zimmerman, it's good enough for me.

Seriously though, I agree with Stengun. I carry it when I can't carry a real handgun. Such as when wearing boardshorts...

I've experimented with several PF-9 pistols that I owned and had one that I trusted but did not keep. The company will send you shims to raise the rear sight to correct your problem. Their customer support is excellent. Unfortunately, they get a lot of practice. With mine, I observed that almost all failures could be traced to the extractor. Installing two springs and slightly relieving metal from the extractor's inner side solved the problem. The extractor screw is notorious for getting loose. The two spring trick requires using a longer screw from the hardware store. Filing metal from the extractor to increase its bite should be tried first. Hopefully, your pistol will run. The Kel-Tec forum has useful info. Don't criticize the product too much if you wish to be loved.

Had one and it got sent back to the factory in the first 500 rounds. They fixed for free never told me what was wrong. I didn't feel like I could trust after that so I sold it. You get what you pay for.

Gun runs great. Just shooting high. Shims won't help as it just makes it shoot higher. Would need a higher front sight. They told me to send it in. Going to try different ammo and another shooter before sending in.
