Local gun shop had two in the case for $99.99.  I bought the better looking of the two (Of course).  

One 10 round magazine and a trigger pull that's longer than my ex-girlfriend's tiddies

I think I may pick up a factory 12rd and possibly a MecGar 17rd 5900 magazine.

I had a P40 back in the day. Thought about converting it to 9mm, but ended up trading it in. Man, that thing was brutal. And I totally hear you on the trigger pull.

Trigger pull from he'll. Buddy had one, sold it.

If you have an AD from pulling THAT trigger, is it really an AD?

you can shorten the follower and get one more round in it. i'd buy another if i could find one for $100.

Any reliability issues doing that?  I know they upgraded to the 12rd OEM magazine.

I had a Kel-Tec P-11 back in the early 90’s when my Agency issued the 5904.  I carried the P-11 in an ankle holster for a BUG.   My P-11 was accurate and reliable.   The P-11 was the ideal back up gun for the 5904 since it was inexpensive, reliable and used the same 5904 spare mags on my belt.  I put a belt clip on my P-11 but I rarely carried it off duty as I preferred my 3913 NL for plain clothes.

A Friend had a Gun Shop and sold some after market 59 series blued mags.   The body of these mags would not fit in the P-11 grip but fit the S&W 59/459/5904 fine.  I think the mags were Mec-Gar but I can’t be sure.   Just a heads up but Aim Surplus has used LE 5906 stainless steel mags for $20 which isn’t bad since S&W no longer sell these mags.

I still have the one I bought new for my first carry gun.  Its serial number is less than 600.  I shoot it every once in a while and sometimes carry it when I need something very small.

I've had one for some time now. Look up "fluff and buff". Will help some. With this type of pistol the secret is to pull the trigger quickly not slowly squeeze it. Also I attached a piece of abrasive tape to the slide. So much easier for my old hand to rack it.
With a that it's not the most pleasant gun to shoot but I still take it to the range now and then.

I forgot all about the "fluff n buff".  I was a member of the KTOG 20 years ago when I was first thinking of getting one and the F&B was the #1 thing to do after buying one.
