Hope you all had a good holiday. The wife adopted the LCP so I have needed another carry piece for those times the G26 is just too big. I have been chewing on another LCP or an LC9. I wanted the 9 but I just really hate the trigger.
New Year's Eve found me in the local gun store and I found a Kel-Tec PF9 for about $70 less than the LC9. Side by side, I liked everything about the Ruger better except...the trigger. For me, the PF9 pulls easier and breaks sooner and that made the deal. I rolled the dice on the Kel-Tec.
I brought it home, put it in the safe and immediately got too busy to touch it until last weekend. I did a quick strip and the poor thing was delivered dry as a bone. I oiled it up a little and took it to the range to break it in on on a box of WWB 115 gr fmj. One of my least favorite boxes of ammo but it was what Wal-Mart had Saturday.
All 50 rounds went bang. There was one minor glitch. I intentionally fired it a few times without the magazine in it and one round failed to eject causing a stove pipe type malfunction. I have no issue with that at this point as I consider it an extreme circumstance and it did fire.
I found it similar to firing the LCP except it has sights and it's easier to hang on to. I find the magazine doesn't seem to go in as instinctively as on the Glock or Ruger and I'm not sure why that is. I'll have to work on it. It shoots four inches above point of aim at 7 yards and that simply will not do. I understand there is a way to adjust for elevation and I'll have to figure that out too.
Overall I'm pretty pleased. The price was right and it works. Now, any IWB holder recomendations?
Blessings.
