THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I had a very early version of the P11 that I just could not shoot. It shot two foot low with every sight and ammo combination I could come up with. Had a trigger issue which they fixed but just couldn't get on the paper with the gun. It ran fine with whatever ammo I ran in it we just didn't agree.

Saw one today at CTD in Mckinney for $259 and was rethinking the whole thing. What's the word?

Ive carried mine since I got it new 3 years ago. Runs good, chewed through about 500 to 600 rounds before the extractor took a dump and broke. Simple enough to fix. Trigger is improved from the first production model, but still long. I suggest the chrome version. IMO 12 rounds is a good little wallop from such a small pistol.

The trigger hurts my finger, but I still carry it everyday. Shoots in to a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper at 7 yds no problem

Mine runs great. It has been flawless since day one, bout 600 rounds through it now. It certainly is not a range gun, but I carry it daily and it does great for that purpose. I feel very confident with it.

I like mine, but I only have about 60 rounds trhough it so far. 13 rounds in such a small lightweight package is nothing short of remarkable given the MSRP.

I think my P11 is great for the role it performs. it is concealable, 11 shots, inexpensive and mine shoots well. Believe me, MUCH 'mo betta than an 8 1/2 X 11" target at 7 yards! For the baby barrel, the accuracy is good! Mine shoots anything, lead head reloads, FMJ's and Federal factory so far. NOT one jam yet. Not a range toy, and yes, the trigger is awful, BUT, it does what it purports to do. Also, inexpensive as well. I bought mine used.

It is what it is, as they say. A get off me gun and its hard to beat 12 rounds in a package that small.

I carried one every day 13 years ago in a thunderwear holster.

I have shot a lot of double loads in it. Very tough pistol.

I don't carry the P11 anymore, because the new single stack version of the P11, the PF9, fits in my pocket.

Just replaced a broken extractor, but otherwise works great, and with the right holster, you can stick it in your pocket.

I love mine.

It's a fantastic carry piece, IMO.

The trigger is the one thing that makes it tricky to shoot. I have to practice with it and concentrate on on my pull to be accurate with it.

I just switched out the trigger on mine for a northwoods one. it's like night and day, I highly recommend it.

I'll be looking into that. Thanks!

To Google!

Edit: Found it and post about it on KTOG. It's officially on my "list" of parts I want to buy in the near future.

Thanks again!

I have had mine for several months. I bought it to carry in the warmer months IWB. I found a great holster from http://n82tactical.com/ that is super comfy.

I have several hundred rounds through it and so far zero malfunctions. I cant say that about any other handguns i have, including glock. Im not saying my Glock jams now, but it did a few times when brand new (gen2).

The only thing that broke is the rear sight. I dropped the gun on the cement from my pocket and the sight dislodged from the dovetail and now its real loose. I am fine with using it without the sight and just looking down the ridge on the top of the slide.

I've had mine for about 6 years. I've tried to replace it with an HK P7 (which is a fantastic shooter), but the firepower/size of the P11 is hard to beat. Mine holds 12 (11+1) because I was too cheap to buy the 12 round mags when you can trim the follower legs on the 10 rounders to easily hold 11.
