I received the product a few days before the estimated arrival date which is a plus. I tried out the Kel-Tec P-11 and it met the expectations based on prior reviews of the product. I wasn't sure that I would like it in blue but since this was the one in stock I ordered it. I found that it was acceptable. Recoil was not bad but as expected in reviews. Putting a round in the chamber was harder than expected but reviews did indicate it was tight so no surprise there. After a few hundred rounds it did loosen up some but having to work at getting the first round chambered does offset my concern of not having it come with a safety feature. It is lighter and somewhat smaller than other guns I have bought which is what I was looking for amd can say it comes closer to a true conceal carry than others in the same price range. I might have had one or two rounds misfire but a lot better than some others I've used.

I was looking for a small/compact pistol for concealed carry during warmer months or when my clothing may not be enough to cover larger framed pistols. I settled on trying out the P11. The pistol is decently built and after initial breakdown and cleaning/lubing I took it out and ran 50 rounds through it without any failures. It kicks similar my other compacts/subcompacts so I was not surprised by the recoil. It is controllable and I had no problems with accuracy after getting a feel for the gun through the first magazine. I added a grip extension to the magazine which aids in both handling as well as follow-up shot acquisition. Without the grip extension my hand did not feel as comfortable on the gun as my pinkie had nowhere to rest so it's good to keep in mind if you're considering this and are not familiar with small pistols or have large hands. This pistol is small enough that I can easily carry it with my IWB holster and it doesn't print when I'm wearing a t-shirt.

The only real annoyance/problem I've had was the magazine rattle issue that I read plenty about prior to purchase. Through some quick forum searches I found several ways to adjust the magazine(s) and haven't had a problem since. Just something to be aware of as it's very obnoxious when you holster and conceal your pistol and it sounds like you've got an ammo can in your pocket, at least it's easily fixable.

I read the negative reviews regarding the p-11 on the internet but bought it anyway because of the great price for a concealed carry 9 mm. I have now run several hundred rounds through it with no failures of any kind. I purposely just cleaned the barrel and nothing else prior to using it and that is all that I have done so far. I checked the trigger pull and it was slightly under 10 lbs. That is less than the double action pull on two Smith & Wesson revolvers that I own as well as a Rossi 357 revolver. I am well pleased with the Kel Tec p-11 and very happy with the service that i have received from Buds on multiple transactions.
