A little more on the Kel-Tec PF-9

http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/pf-9/pistol/

This pistol is just fine for my current purposes, and overall is a real POS. Nothing to be proud of, it ranks just above warts. It will NOT chamber either hollow-point or frangible ammunition, those rounds getting stuck and requiring partial dis-assembly and then pushing out with a stick down the barrel. I haven't taken it out to the farm or into the mountains to see how well it handles standard ammunition.

It has a horribly hard pull to chamber a FMJ round, and no safety. What is considered to be a safety is a very long trigger pull which wouldn't occur accidently. Poor excuse. There is a very small, hard release which would chamber the first round of the second clip. In the interest of small, light and narrow it is a little more difficult to operate than one would want when in a situation where they are on their second clip. There is no hammer.

On the plus side it is 9mm, thin, small, light and semi-auto. It disappears into a pocket, even with the laser sight on it. It has an under-barrel rail for that sight.

I'm anxious to see how well the laser works. What a sweet deal! It is easy to adjust to the open sights on the pistol, and if it is at all accurate it solves a lot of problems when dealing with a moving, mad animal. There seems to be a great deal of security in knowing you could hit your target even on the move, while excited and without aiming.
