Great, my second one is a replacement just in case. When I got it, there was fierce competition in getting conceal tools at the time, they were challenging to get. I had to sell it because of moving to a place where gun rights were not friendly in 2010. That changed in 2019. Now I can get my tools back slowly but surely. Lots have changed, and better tools are available. This was a defense tool, but some people got into the habit of believing this was a range tool. No way in shape, or form. Better to have something than nothing. I see they are not making anymore. Oh well!!!!

The PF-9 is a perfect carry gun. Holds 6 rounds which keep the gun light and easy to conceal. Things you need to know: The gun is not ready to fire when you receive it. I have read other review where the gun will jam, and the ammo gets stuck in the receiver. The fix is easy and does require a little time and will worth it is to buff the barrel where the ammo enters to a smooth shine. I've fired over 100 rounds without any problems. Buds costumer service has been great, and shipping was fist.

My gun looks great and fired about 7 out 8 rounds fired. It did not like Armscor ammo and Winchester slightly better. It had numerous fail to extract and lockups. I had to hit the slide forward to lockup the las 1/4" to fire. Sent back to Keltec and had to pay shipping with a mild improvement. The gun likes higher quality ammo and needed about 400 rounds before getting 80% reliable. If I had known this I would have spent more $ on another gun. Buds process was good, just a lemon gun.

Perfect gun to conceal, be it on your ankle on in your waist band, this little beauty fits in the palm of my hand and can easily fit into my pocket of my jeans, if need be. shooting is accurate for a little pew pew.

As usual, buds shipping was reliable and can't be beat! About the gun... I'm not a fan. I am hard on guns, and anything I carry and trust my life with I shoot many rounds thru. Well, after maybe 200 rounds I had an issue and the gun was sent back to keltec. Another 400 thru it and the frame cracked. Back to keltec and they replaced the gun. About a year of shooting later and the gun started shooting way way right, and groups opened up to softball sized at 7 yards. Not acceptable. Sold it and bought a Ruger LC9s.

Runs great. No problems after 50 round break in period. With weight less than a pound you can expect a little kick, but it is not a range gun. An excellent pocket pistol and it is accurate as you are. A great buy.

Good value and reliable shooter for the price. Have shot 150 rounds of reloaded ammo without a single malfunction or miss feed. Only complaint is the fairly hard double action trigger pull and at the end of the trigger pull - my trigger finger gets pinched between the trigger end and the trigger guard. Other friends trying the pistol don't get pinched - so this is something peculiar to only my fat fingers. Otherwise, would have given 5 stars. Also, BudsGunShop delivery and FFL locating help is second to none!

I just ran 100 rounds of Federal ammo through my new Kel-Tec without any failures. Gripping it tight I believe is the answer for those who had feeding problems. A great little carry piece.

Nice gun for the price, alittle stingy on the hand but average for such a light pistol. Trigger is alittle uncomfortable on the finger and pinchs alittle with larger fingers. I replaced the trigger with an aluminum one, good improvement. Probable the smallest 9mm double action pistol you can find. Do not expect better than 3 inch groups without alot of practice. Overall a good gun to keep in the car for protection, not a range target gun.

My 11th purchase from buds, all went well as usual! And for the kel tec, its the 3rd one I own. I love all 3. If you take care of it , it will take care of you. 400rds in one week....not one problem! Love them like 3 different colored kids, green, grey, and black.

I received my Kel Tec PF9, Grey / Blue last week from my FFL. THIS PISTOL IS A GREAT CCW. I had absolutely no issues at the range with a 100 rounds of 115gr PMC. I shot the pistol both two handed and one handed with no sore fingers or hands. It does bark some but much less than I expected. I will get another 100 rounds thru it this weekend and then load it up with some 115gr defense rounds for cc. Great gun, hides easily with very little "printing" in my owb holster. Go buy one!

First off thanks buds for your fast service. Ordered 03/18/2014 picked up from my ffl on 03/25/2014. Gun was perfect. Took it strait to the range. Cleaned it and put 100 rounds threw it and worked perfect. The gun is light and thin great for CCW. Has a pretty good kick to it due to being so light and small, but still very spot on and easy to conceal.

Me and the wife took the new pf9s out today and they shoot great little more snappy than I was expecting but easy to adapt and for a gun straight out of the box from the factory I was impress that I don't have to adjust the sights. definitely a nice little gun for the money

Took it down to the range immediately after picking it up. Was fortunate to get 2 rounds in a row off about 4 times before I was only able to get 1 round off before failure to extract every time. It would not pull the spent casing out of the barrel to eject and therefor jammed the slide open with the next round unable to load. 2 types of new ammo, PMC and Winchester. Sending to Keltec now I guess. Will update with that experience.

Extremely surprised! I have put 100+- rounds through this gun and it has been flawless. Easy to shoot and easy to carry. Far superior to the Nano I purchased at the same time. This will be the last single stack 9 I buy. I have my carry 9.

Smallest 9mm I ever had. Lots of kick with standard velocity ammo. Never tried plus p in this gun. Good for the range if you do not mind failures to eject. This gun is NOT reliable enough for self defense due to jams. I sold mine for what I paid for it. Good riddence.

Got this gun yesterday and put over 100 rounds through it today. I was shooting Monarch Brass and Steel 115 grain bullets (that's right the cheap stuff). I was shooting both slow and rapid fire and the gun never had a FTF or FTE! I had 1 inch groups at 5 yards and 4-6 inch groups at 12yards. Overall I'm very happy with both the size and performance of the gun. The trigger did take some getting use to and it does have a lot of recoil, however this is gonna be my daily carry and if I have to use it neither one of those will matter.

Well what can I say for $260!? I've read a lot of people either love em or hate em. Well, I picked it up today and took it out to the range. Put a hundred and some rounds through it, not 1 single issue, shot good. You can definitely feel the recoil (to be expected from such a small gun). Fits VERY comfortably in my back holster. I highly recommend Kel Tec firearms!

Great Gun ..Very small and light..a lot of recoil but it's to be expected with a 9mm this small..A great EDC or backup gun BUT NOT for a Range day gun..your hand will feel it..Iv put 250rds of all types of ammo with not one problem ..wiil shoot +p ammo but you will feel it..gun field strips and cleans easy..the only tool you need is a 9mm case..Over all its a GREAT LIL GUN FOR 262.00$....Buds was great as always..

I love the size and feel of this gun especially with the 8-round mag extension. It is louder than my 5" .45 Para and recoil is impressive. It is accurate (Tack-driver given its tiny size) and easy to operate. UNFORTUNATELY, I could not get it to reliably feed (FTE) with any ammo from day one. I ran a few hundred rounds through it before I contacted the factory. They sent me a new extractor that arrived promptly. I replaced the new extractor, spring and screw without any significant difference in reliability. I recontacted the factory, sent it in and It was returned 6 weeks later with a new slide with all internals and took it to the range and restarted the break-in period and thought it had been repaired, BUT after about 300 rounds it started failing to eject again. In all fairness, my brother has carried a PF-9 and has had no reliability issues. When I researched this gun for purchase, it sounded like if you get a good one you got one, otherwise sell it and buy another. That is what I am doing, and the only reason I can do so in good conscience is the lifetime factory warranty. I am replacing my PF-9 with another Para... this time it will be the Para Ord .45 ACP 6 + 1.

Awesome small carry pistol in 9mm!! The Kel-Tec PF9 is a sleeper! It is a cheap and reliable pistol that is small and easy to carry. People who bad mouth this gun simply hate it's cheap price. It is reliable, very well made and accurate. Why carry a 380 auto when you can have full 9mm protection?
