Kel-Tec PF9

So far: Two range trips, 168 rounds, three failures to extract (one with WWB, two with Fed 115 gr FMJ), one gratifyingly simple experience with Kel-Tec customer support, two replacement magazine followers due to arrive in seven to ten days. The mags won't drop after it's been fired. Maybe it needs a new extractor, too. The screw on the extractor spring won't go any tighter. Maybe that's just Loctite.

So, joy not quite unconfined here. But I think shooting that jumpy little gun with its DAO trigger is making me a much better shooter with my Glock, so I'll stick with it for a bit. At least until I can hit something smaller than the backstop with it.

UPDATE

120 more rounds today. Eight more failures to extract. Something is very wrong here. Contacted Kel-Tec.

UPDATE 2010-06-22

They want me to ship the gun back to them. No BS with those guys. I appreciate it.

UPDATE 2012

They "fixed" it and shipped it back to me, it still didn't work for spit, I sold it.
