Review of Kel_tec PF-9 (Pics) - XDTalk Forums

Popa75 · 09-03-2008, 10:09 PM

I got this gun last Thursday and finally got to shoot it today. I have to say I am VERY impressed, after reading alot of things good and bad I was in the mindset to expect a couple of ftf and fte but I am happy to report that this gun ate 100 rds of Umc JHP without a hitch. I shot with two hands I shot with 1 hand and it would not fail. Prior to shooting I cleaned it and polished the feed ramp and that is as far as I wanted to take the fluff and buff before shooting it, I am pleased to say that there is no more needed to make this particular gun proform. It was more accurate than I am at 10 YDS and the recoil was not as bad as I expected overall I have to say this gun is a great value and I see myself buying more Kel_Tec's in the future.
Thanks for reading this

I actually held one of those in a store today and I wondered how the recoil might feel with such a slim grip and light frame.

I am also considering grabbing one up. Do you think it would make an acceptable pocket gun? Or do you think its a tad to big and the .380 version would be better?

It fits into a pocket about the same as a J-frame but is much thiner. I prefer iwb but I will pocket carry it when I need to. The 380 and 32 are alittle smaller but for iwb the 9 is the perfict size. The recoil is snappy but very controllable (less than I expected)
I wanted to add that the sights on this gun are very usable unlike the smaller models where I had a lot of trouble using them.

Mine is inside pocket all the time (Me being in FL, I have to wear jean shorts or khakis year round)

Im in the +700 rnds now and still ticking.
