johnf Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 The price will be the same for me so that's not a factor. This would be a back-up to G19. Kel-tec P-11 10+1 shots 20oz. loaded Kel-Tec PF-9 7+1 rounds 15.5 oz. loaded Accesory rail. Taurus 85 5 shot 38 sp 17oz empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 This would be a CC gun. I'm only 5'6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 For CC ? Caliber on autos? 9mm or 380? Those listed above are 9mm's . Given the choices, it would be the Taurus revolver. Personal picks are the Kahr PM9 and the S&W 642 for CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csualumni21000 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I would not trust my life to any of those.Kel tecs are known for their reliability issues. I have the taurus and it is not 100 percent reliable(light primer strikes). I would suggest a subcompact glock, it can use the same mags.

Rem308 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I personally own the Kel Tec PF9 and I love mine. It's very compact and I can conceal it easily in light clothes. When the conditions allow, I carry a slightly larger handgun, but there are times this isn't possible and I can always carry my PF9. Whether IWB holster, front pocket, jacket pocket, or ankle rig, it's easy to conceal. I shoot it at the range often, have found that (after polishing the rail into the chamber) it feeds just fine and ejects without issue. For a small handgun, it's consistent and surprisingly accurate. I have had mine for going on 2 years now without any issues. I do hear reports and reviews of people not being pleased with Kel Tec, but I can't say I"ve ever had any problems. I think they fixed a lot of issues from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I got home tonight, and removed my PF-9 from the holster and took a few pics to share...again, to each their own, but I have nothing but good things to say about the Kel Tec.

Rem308 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I wrote "Polishing the rail into the chamber"...I should have said 'Polishing the ramp that feeds into the chamber". Very simple to do...some say it's not neccesary, but with hollow points and hydra-shock ammo, they can sometimes get a little resistance and cause automatics to jam...to cure this, a lot of people polish up the ramp which these slide on. I just used a buffing wheel attachment on a dremmel tool and put a little rubbing compound on it, within a few minutes of buffing it up, it raised to a high gloss and felt much smoother. Then, with the normal cleaning it will be lubricated and have no problems at all. Most people just give it a good cleaning and focus on buffing it up with their hands...just a little more time consuming. You are basically just creating a much smoother surface for the bullet to ride as you chamber a round. I hope that I haven't confused you more, doing this was by choice, the firearm is fine without doing this after a good break in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Clear as mud:) Not sure of anything except drimmel tool and buffing wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Does this help John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Does this help John? Exactly as above...notice the shiny ramp leading to the chamber...if it were a little rough, after some shooting it would get a little dirty and possibly cause a round to not slide in immediately. Good picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 That helps a lot, thanks. I was way on the wrong side of the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 John, If you could find a Kel-tec p40, It would be better then the 9, if you can't I would choose the 38. I have the P-40 and use it as a backup and cc, 9 years old with NO problems good accuracy to 15 yards. Even killed a couple of hogs with it.

High Country Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I know this will sound crazy...but why not a second Glock 19? or if size is a real consideration...a Glock 26...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I'm poor and just happened into a great deal. Otherwise I wouldn't have the Glock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
