I bought mine used from Gary's Guns for $219.00. I don't think it's possible to beat the size and weight of this pistol in the 9mm caliber. Beware that I've already sent mine back to the factory. The pistol has several major design defects. Note that they are being addressed, but if you intend to use this pistol for self-defense, I'd strongly suggest you check into these.
The Kel-Tec Owners Group (ktog.org) has very detailed information, but the summary is this:
1) There's a known issue where the ejector pin can "walk" out of the hole and in front of the hammer, preventing the pistol from firing - repair requires disassembly... Better hope this doesn't happen if you ever have to use it. This issue is resolved by a new frame design that makes the ejector pin hole "partially blind."
2) The feed ramp is redesigned on newer model barrels to prevent "nose dives"
3) There's another known issue with the frame cracking, but I didn't read much into that.
Mine is in Kel-Tec's possession at the moment. I'll give a report back once I have my pistol back in custody.

Well, it took them just about the 6 weeks that they promised, but I did get my PF9 back. It still shoots high, but they polished the feed ramp and made the ejector pin hole "partially blind" so that issue should still be resolved.
After much pondering, I think I'm selling this gun to a friend and buying a Kel-Tec P3-AT and carry it with very good ammo loaded.

You should update that you got a P3-AT.  Post a review of that handgun! |
