I owned a PF9 years ago that had peening issues on the slide. It didn't have any malfunctions, but I didn't own it long enough to find out. Being on this board long enough and being able to search online makes it easy to find out that the PF9 has been a host of problems for some and perfect for others.
I decided to give the PF9 another try and won a brand new blued model for $170 shipped, $195 total with transfer fee. I'll be picking it up this Friday and I'm wondering if the usual procedure needs to be done. I'm not sure if these will be needed, but I still have brand new extra parts like extractors with springs and longer tool steel extractor/firing pin retainer bolts that have the exact same head and allen key size as the original. I bought a 25 pack of these from a local fastener company many years ago since the factory bolts seemed to shear and the tiny bit of extra length was not only a good idea, but necessary if you had to double up the extractor spring. I always replaced the frame pins with the ones from the pocket clip set as well which I also have on hand. Is the fluff and buff still the regular procedure when buying a new KT semi-auto?
I've had a P32 for years that's been flawless, but I did the ol' fluff and buff the day I got it. Having owned a few other flawless KT products like the P32, PLR-16, SU-16c, P3AT and two G17 1st gen Sub2000s, I'm hoping it stays that way.
