Thanks to you all in this section I bought my very first 9MM today, a P-11. I carry a G23 and like the .40 cal round. I wanted a smaller framed pistol for easier carry in the summer and after reading this section and others here on ARF, I decided to go with Kel-Tec for a couple of reasons. Reliability was high on the list. Size of gun versus number of rounds was important. Then it was customer service. I am really impressed with the experiences you all have had with your KT's and it was because of that I bought one. I have not shot it yet, but plan on it next weekend. Does anyone have any advice or break-in procedures. |

You need to check out www.ktog.org and look at the section on "Fluff & Buff", this will help get your new Kel-Tec broken in a little quicker and easier. It will also help familiarize you with your new pistol. I wouln't suggest trying any of the trigger tricks until well after break-in and you have complete confidence in your pistol, especially if it's going to be carried on a regular basis.
Practice as much as you can and get used to the double action only "staple gun" trigger. It won't take long to find that a straight through pull is easier and more accurate than trying to "stage" the trigger, trying to find the break point. Bear in mind, this is not a target pistol, don't expect it to behave as such. You might think I'm bashing on your new pistol, but I'm not, I carry one every day. I'm just trying to get your expectations set into a proper framework. |

I took my P-11 to the range today and put 150 rds through without a hitch. I read the fluff and buff article. The only thing i did before shooting was polish the feed ramp with a jewelry wheel on a Dremel. I cleaned it real good, bore and all, lubed with WeaponSheild CLP and operated the slide about 50 times. My G23 kicks less than this thing, but it was a blast to shoot and was accurate enough for me. I want to shoot it a few hundred times more and will do that over the next few months before i need to carry it in the summer. |
