Yes, jump all over that!

They are good guns for the money, and great at half price.

I bought one, and use it for hiking, camping, fishing, when I don't want to tear up a "good" gun.

They do have a deep break-in period, though. It'll take about 500 rounds to get the frame rails in the shape they need to be in.

I have a P11. It's a good gun. I used to carry it until I got my XD40.

Absolutely not! In fact, give me his phone number so I can make sure he gets it to me for extended testing to make sure it's safe.

I have a PF9 and love it!

My P11 was not comfortable in my pocket and showed plainly. Likewise my CZ82 and Taurus 85. It might be different if you stood all the time because as soon as you sat down everything changes for the worse including the removing of the gun from the pocket.

Wow. Now mine is a P-11, the older version, but it sold for $240.00 brand new.

I have a PF9 that has quickly become my everyday carry just because it fits everywhere.

Usually I carry it IWB, but I can also carry it comfortably in the front pocket of my jeans. It does print like crazy, but I also like my jeans to fit rather tight. In dress pants it absolutely disappears.

I did a basic fluff and buff per GoldenLoki http://goldenloki.com/gunsmith/keltec/fullrp.htm
and have not had any problems at all.

Excellent gun.
