Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm 7+1 CCW carry pistol - 151.48 shipped or 4-Pay

I'm not familiar with this pistol. It reviews well.

https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/kel-tec-pf-9-semi-automatic-9mm-31-barrel-71-rounds?a=2199140

Using $20 Coupon code WARRIOR

I tested it.



The only drawback to the $20 coupon is it gets it below the threshold for 4-pay. And if you spend the $9 to get it up to 4-pay, you have to pay shipping on whatever else you buy, but if you want 4-pay, it would be worth it.

Anyone familiar with the gun? I've seen some 4.6 star reviews for it.

Here's the Hickok45 video on it. Basically he says it's a good gun, but too small for him. (he's about 6' 8")

It was my first conceal carry pistol.  I HATE it.  Apparently, it's a crap shoot on whether or not you get one that jams a lot (like 50%) or one that's fine.  I was the unlucky 50%.  Couple that with the recoil being way too hard on my hands (you're just a tiny bit bigger, so maybe it won't be a big deal) and it's just in my safe for a rainy day.  You're welcome to come try it out any day.

Thanks for the input!

I'm seeing a lot of mentions dated from 2010 to 2014. One of the later ones I see is a guy who called Kel-tec and they gave him a choice between sending it in or them sending him a new ejector. He elected to take the new ejector for a DIY fix, and with a little more fiddling, got past the problem.

I hope they're doing better with newer models if they were sending out fixes circa 2014.

Not to try to talk you back in to liking it, but have you called them? If you're going to relegate a gun to the safe, it might as well be in working condition.

I found that while scouring Sportsman's Guide to spend a gift card I had to use by 12/31.

So if I bought guns, I'd have gotten that for $126.48 shipped with free transfer.

I'll just buy some, uh... pajamas instead.

Good point - I'll give them a call.  Thanks!

Apparently it's a dangerous gun. If you shoot someone in California, they could get cancer.

If someone has to 4-pay a $150 dollar gun, they're living their life wrong.

I'm surprised YT still allows HickOk to be on the internet. Jolliest guy of the bunch, but guns are evil, ya know.

I wish I could shoot like Hickock.       It's one thing shoot straight with a pistol  you know well but he picks up different sized and types of pistols with different triggers and always seems to shoot pretty straight.

I met him once. I said "It seems funny that you don't know who I am, because you feel like an old friend".

I figured that was probably creepy/stalkerish enough... So I didn't ask him to adopt me.
