Customer Reviews for PTR 9KT 9mm Pistol

Impressive, good construction and materials, a real shooter, solid aftermarket of accessories, all at prices far under the original, and made in the USA by an American owned manufacturer. Zero regrets, this one is a keeper.

Absolutely love this Gun, overall Great quality! Shoots like a dream, Couldn’t be happier. Came in a nice case oiled up. No magazine wobble, ets mags are solid. I didn’t find any burrs. Finish is great and everything is fitted nice and tight. Highly recommend this 9kt. Buds has great customer service as always and the shipping was fast.

I got a 9kt in the 3000 serial # range. It shipped quite fast - 2 days! Arrived heavily oiled, not a problem in my opinion. Shipped with clear plastic ETS mags. So far the ETS mags have not given me any trouble, although they are completely plastic and do not even have steel feed lips. I got a few extra 20rnd and 30rnd made by KCI because I like the black look more and the German ones are expensive.
Before shooting it, I completely wiped out all the factory oil, completely disassembled, and inspected it. I found a few burrs here and there that I smoothed out, and a few milling shavings here and there I cleaned out but overall the fit and finish was excellent. I lubed it back up per the owner's manual and ACTUALLY followed the break in procedure recommended by the owner's manual. I shot a variety of 115 grain FMJ bulk ammo as that was all I had available at the time, and experienced NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. Shot 200 rnds in the break in - followed by another 300 after cleaning. Expect the break in to take 2-3 hours if you want to do it right - I got a private bay at my range so I could take care of business and not be rushed or hassled.
Compared to a blowback 9mm this is smooooth like butter. Could not believe the accuracy - dialed in the sight a little to the right and I was hitting the same holes at 7 yards over and over. Took it over to the 100 yard range and plinked steel man-sized targets with ease. It would seem as though they have ironed out the kinks present in the first gen production runs. I am more than happy with this purchase - this one blows the civy HK version out of the water with features and price. Get it while you can. AWESOME! Now I'm thinking about getting it's longer barreled cousin...
Worth noting - if you want to shoot the 9KT with 147 grain or higher, suppressed, or SBR with a stock PTR recommends you get a #28 80 degree locking piece to reduce bolt recoil speed, and prevent accelerated wear. The main parts that wear out and you should have a few spares around are the extractor springs, and ejector springs. Such a sweet little package - very happy with my purchase

Awesome firearm , great craftsmanship shoots accurately all in very nice package .

Buds service , as always, is perfect. This weapon is fantastic. It is my first PTR, I added a brace and a binary trigger and it runs flawlessly. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Wow! For both the MP5K and Buds. Let me start with Buds - I ordered on a Tuesday afternoon and received the firearm at my FFL and in my hands THE NEXT DAY. Yes, the next day. My FFL called me Wednesday late morning to tell me the MP5K was ready to pick up. I was shocked, especially given that this was the Tuesday after Memorial Day. I figured they would have a slight order backlog - nope. The only small "hiccup" is that the status of the order did not change to SHIPPED until like a week after I had already received it. But I can't complain about that.
Now for the weapon itself - again WOW! Shot about 75-100 rounds through it with NO issues. This thing is compact and just too fun to shoot. The accuracy of the ghost ring front and drum rear is dead on. We are talking literally 10-15 rounds in the same hole. I noticed at one point there was nothing left of the target in the middle to shoot. I found the same accuracy with my HK MP5SD .22lr also bought from Buds. I checked mine for the mag wobble and found no issues. I will put another 200 or so rounds through this weekend to keep breaking it in.
You have to get the SB Tactical Brace to go with it. It completely balances the firearm and make it shootable. And it is SUPERCOOL!!!!

Excellent build quality, perfect fit and finish, ran excellent right out of the box with 147gr flat nose and a suppressor. Everything I hoped for and more
