My absolute favorite conceal carry. Prefer this over my g43

The Kel-Tec PF9 was very concealable. With a good pocket holster it was virtually unnoticeable without having to tuck your shirt. It's small in the hand and a little snappy when firing at the range, but that's to be expected given it's size. Accuracy was ok, not great. But again, small sidearms are hard to shoot accurately especially with a long pull.

Love it for conceited carry gun.

Way too snappy, not very accurate.
Keep the gun clean and lubed for best performance. I’d have to recommend the smith and Wesson Shield over this fun for sure, especiallywith the price you can get the shields for these days

I have prior experience with the pf9 in particular which allowed me to become rather familiar and well-versed, intimately knowledgeable of the firearm; - so I was confident in my purchase of this one. It did not disappoint. It has a clean, crisp recoil and rests comfortably in my hands. I've never had an issue of misfiring/jamming. Its size/weight makes it ideal for concealed carrying purposes. What's best is that, I find all these positive takeaways with the pf9 and you might think that something offering this much costs an exorbitant amount but quite contrarily it is incredibly affordable. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK (pun intended!)

Bought This as a Mothers Day Gift For My Mom, She Had One Before And Absolutely LOVED It, The Little Grip Extender This One Comes With Is Nice And Fits Her Hand Even Better Than Without, The Only Downside Is It Was A Little Hard To Switch Out The Floor Plate For It But I Got It After A Little Fiddling With No Real Tools, Think I May Have Used A House Key, And Lastly On The Extender There Was A Little Bit Of Flashing All the Way Around It And It Had To Be cut Off, But No Big Deal, Overall, Great Gun, 5/5 Wonderful Little Carry Piece.

Have several of these, great for concealed carry, Parkerized makes all the difference in appearance and easier to maintain.

I've seen mixed reviews of the PF9 in the past, and I was cautious about buying such an inexpensive carry gun. I made sure to test mine at the range for several months before trusting it enough to carry it, and I am extremely happy with it. I had only 1 jam when the gun was brand new: one of the magazine followers got stuck inside the magazine body and didn't push any more rounds up. I took the magazine off and trimmed a little bit of excess flashing off it. The gun has never jammed since then. Speaking of excess plastic flashing, the very tip of the trigger had a little pointy piece that I removed with a little piece of sandpaper. After that, my finger is happier. I carry the PF9 every day, and I even sold my Glock 26. This feels so much slimmer and lighter. The trigger pull is rather long, but it doesn't stack towards the end. It's smooth, but I can't shoot it as quickly as a single action gun. Because the gun is so light, the muzzle does rise quite a bit more than most 9mms. It isn't a gun I shoot very many times at a given shooting session, but I practice to keep proficient, and I move onto a more heavy gun for range time. I'm very happy I got this. It's so wonderfully slim and light, that carrying is comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone who finds themselves wanting a smaller 9mm for carry rather than just shooting for fun.

I love the gun, but it malfunctions very frequently / FTF, FTE, light strikes / I thought it just needed breaking in and have now fired around 400 rounds and same problems. Used various types of ammo mostly law enforcement ammo of different MFG and still the same. It ships back to company tomorrow. I should have sent it back right after I bought it. Hope it comes back working good, cause it is a great carry gun, but I cannot rely on it in this condition.

As usual Buds was awesome. My dealer got the gun within 2 days after my payment cleared! The gun is a great little gun. It is extremely accurate for it's size and weight. I added the usual grip and bought the clip for it so no holster is needed. This is a very well constructed firearm for the price. My only gripe with the gun is the finish of the slide. I paid the extra money for the parkerized finish and I regret it. The finish looks awful. It looks as if something was spilled on it that left a film but it doesn't clean off. Closer observation shows little pits in the finish. I contacted Kel-tec about it and they said it wasn't normal and that I could send it back. I would have had to pay for shipping to their facility be without the slide for 3-4 weeks total with shipping and them refinishing it. I really feel like Kel-tec should have sent a replacement slide to a local dealer for me to exchange it at so I could continue to have and use my gun while I was waiting but apparently they didn't agree cause no one has gotten back to me in a few days about that suggestion. Even with this issue I have with the gun and the way which Kel-tec wants to correct it, I'm still happy with the purchase over all and if I had to do it again I would have gotten it in the blued finish as that's harder to mess up.

Boght the PF9K and am very happy with the pistol. PROS: * Thin design and light weight easily carried in pocket, no holster. * Weighs in about a pound, loaded. * Shoots quite nicely not nearly bad recoil as others say. * Black finish is good. * Shipment was quick to arrive (2 days) * For me effective range of groping up to 15 feet. * Not the slighest problem in ejecting or misfire. * Really like the larger size and round size compared to LCP * No problem with factory grips and no comfort problem with first 50 rounds CONS: * Clip spring pretty stiff but probably helps ejection. * Short barrel makes pistol good only for close quarter protection * Would like a trigger safety that would allow a shorter trigger pull. Without a safety the long trigger pull is the next best thing. Not sure what all the compalining is about but my experience with this CCL firearm and Buds is outstanding. Kel-tec is a fine gun.

Had heard good and bad "Opinions" on the Kel-Tec PF9. Just got back from the range with my new PF9 and it performed flawlessly out of the box with the 70 to 80 rounds I put thru it. Used Federal FMJ and JHP rounds with no failures. Of course, I need more practice, but this handgun is reliable.

Put a couple hundred rounds Federal through with no problems. Hard primered, steel case Tula caused FTF every other round or so. I'm going to put another couple hundred rounds of cheap Federal through it to see how it digests the steel cased stuff. Great shooter with the proper ammo. It does it's job at social distances. Added a shoe and belt clip. Grab a cheapo pocket holster at WallyWorld and this one slips in the front pocket of your cargo shorts no problem. I'll be picking another up for the wife.

This gun jams up on the 3rd or 4th round every time. Do not waste your time with this junk. I will never buy another kel-tec again.

BEST CONCEALD CARRY.WITH THE SPRING CLIP IT SITS IN MY POCKET AND COMES OUT LIKE A ROCKET.IT HATES 147 GRAIN FLAT POINT BUT LOVES 124 JHPS AND LRNS. NOT A RANGE GUN, TOO MUCH RECOIL TO BE FUN TO SHOOTMORE THAN 50 ROUNDS.HAS SOME TRIGGER GAURD BITE ON THE INDEX FINGER FIRST KNUCKLE.GUN IS TOO SMALL TO SIGHT AND 2 HAND GRIP SO ITS A POINT AND SHOOT GUN, SO LASER SIGHTS ARE A MUST!THE MAG EXTENSIONS ARE OPTONAL(USELESS) BUT A HOGUE HANDAL JR IS ANICE OPTION. ALSO THE METAL GUIDE ROD IS AMUST IF YOU WANT TO SHOOT +P ROUNDS. AFTER 500 ROUNDS THE TRIGGER IS SMOOTH AND EASY TO READ.LOVE BUDS HATE UPS.

I recently received this gun from Bud's. Excellent service as always. The Bad: Took it to the range for break in. Shot 2 boxes of 50 rounds through it. Near the end of the first box, the last round in the mag did not eject. In fact it stayed fully in the chamber. I was hoping this was a fluke. However, while shooting the second box of 50 I had at least 1, sometimes 2 FTE's complicated by the fact that it was not the last round in the mag. The next round tried to load which held the spent cartridge in place and would not allow me to drop the magazine. I had to hold the slide open, push down the live round back into the magazine, then drop the mag and shake free the spent cartridge. A couple of times I even had to use another spent cartridge to pull the stuck cartridge out. I guess now I get to find out first had how good Kel Tec’s customer service is. I have heard good things about them, but hoped I would never have to find out. The Good: The three dot sights work well. I was shooting reasonably tight groups after I put a couple of magazines through it, and got use to the feel of the gun. I knew in advance the grips could be a little harsh, so I immediately bought and installed a Hogue Handall Junior Universal Slip-On Grip Sleeve (upside down), so I had no issues with that. The gun is small and light, and easy to conceal. I bought this as a carry weapon, so that was very important to me. The magazine comes with a flat bottom installed, and a grip extension that you can easily install yourself. It’s not really a pinky grip, because as I stated this gun is small, but it gives your third finger a little more room, and you have a very good grip on the gun. Your pinky rests comfortably underneath the magazine. All in all, I really like the gun if they can fix the FTE issue. However, after a gun malfunctions, it takes a long time for me to trust it enough to use it as a carry weapon. I’ll report back on my experience with Kel Tec’s customer service. Wish me luck.

Great gun from Bud's. It is very easy to conceal and so far has no issues. Bud's follow up service was excellent.

Just got my PF-9 and I couldn't be more pleased. Ordered on a Tuesday night, picked it up from my FFL on Friday afternoon and it was just as described. Can't wait to get this thing to the range and break it in. I know these things operate, as I've shot them before (as you should always do before buying a gun), but I'm ready to get mine broken in for the trigger pull I know comes out of a few hundred rounds down range. As for Buds' service- impeccable as always! I hate to see that others have mistaken the stock photos with representation of the gun they were to receive, so make sure to double check the listing! This was a tough choice between the PF-9 and the LC-9, but once I shot them both and felt the difference in frames (both are great guns), I knew this was the one for me.

I have nothing to say but positive things from this purchase from buds, I received my kel tec about five days after ordering and the was in excellent condition, No burrs, scratches, machining marks, ect. Right out of the box I fired close to 100 rounds through the PF9 and it functioned flawlessly without so much as one hiccup, I will be carrying this weapon CCW and I have no regrets. I would recommend this firearm to anyone who is in the market for a subcompact 9mm. Also wanted to mention that the trigger is not near as heavy as some might say, Its pull weight is half that of a S&W Sigma and is smooth throughout. The PF9 breaks down and goes back together with ease and very easy to clean. I would although recommend the HOUGE HANDALL JR grip it has adequate palm swells and is very comfortable , The pistol does have some snap and the serrated polymer can be rough on the hands for sustained fire without some type of grip. Last thing accuracy, I am mostly a rifle shooter and am new to the CCW world, I found the sights were that to be expected of a full sized pistol and were very easy to read, I started at seven yards and ended up at close to twenty yards and was easily hitting paint cans- pepsi cans - ect, anyway all around great firearm and I give it high marks across the board and am very happy with my purchase.

This is a nice gun, and the deal was too good to pass up. I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and am really glad I bought it. I like my pf9, hadn't encountered any probs yet but seems to be a nice purchase,manageable, and pretty accurate.

Awesome pistol. This is my second PF9...thought I could live without so sold my first one, now just ordered another. Reliable. Easy to carry. Reasonable price. 9mm. American company. If you're looking at a LCP or P3AT, you owe it to yourself to try the PF9 on for size. About the size of a PPK 380 but much much lighter and 9mm. For the price you can't beat it. No FTF or FTE in 500+ rounds with my first PF9. Recoil is not bad and no different than a PM9 or PPS or Solo. Great price and service from Bud's as always. Thanks again.
