Kel Tec p11

[bushwacker73]

Hey Ya'll, I just bought a new Kel-Tec P11 9mm. pistol. I would like to know some of your thoughts or opinions on it..

 

[cubsfan1984]

I heard it's a solid shooting gun. Some might need a fluff 'n buff to feed and eject properly. I would like to check one out myself.

I carried one for a couple of years. Not a target gun or real fun to shoot, but it served me well as a carry gun. Never had any problems with it functioning.

I have no experience with them, but would love to read your range report when you get a chance to take it out and have some fun.

 

[bushwacker73]

I just bought it yesterday, I may get to shoot it in a couple of days.. I'll give you a report soon....

i had one it felt good to shoot but i couldn't group with it for anything

10 shot 9mm in a very compact package.

Not what I would call a target gun, but the Kel-Tec P-11's I've shot and owned have been reliable and easy to carry. The only reason I got rid of mine was the fact that I couldn't find any laser sights for it that I liked.

Had one did ok with it functioning couldn't get used to the trigger pull though. But it went bang every time and the price was right.

love mine, no problems yet and 11 rounds in a such a small carry piece is sweet! i have the parked slide.

I have one, been my CC gun for about a year. Conceals well with a good IWB holster and you never know its there, neither does any one else. Very light as well.

Some require a fluff and buff as said earlier. I went ahead and done mine before going to the range and have not had any issues with it feeding or FTF. I would suggest polishing the feed ramp though, they are pretty rough from the factory.

Like others have said, they are not a range gun. But they gobang when you pull the trigger. The trigger pull is loooooooong, very long. But after a few rounds you get used to it. I have the mag extender for my extra mags but keep a stock mag in when i am carrying it. I have a metal guide rod for mine as well, but if you plan on shooting quite a bit you may want to keep the plastic one in it as some have had issues with themetal guide rod wearing the hole out by the muzzle.

Accuracy is not one of its finer points. But Ican hit a 8.5x11 piece of paper at 7 yards and that is all I expected of it.

I have owned a P-11 for several years. Great self defense carry weapon. I had jamming issues with the gun at one time. I sent it off to Kel-Tek, they took care of all the issues, and works great.

I owned and carried one for a little over a year...this was a few years ago, now.

I bought it used from Bradis. I don't remember a single thing wrong with mine. There MAY have been some light primer strikes, though. Something tickles my memory about S&B FMJ ammo not liking the small/fast hammer of the P11.

It was accurate enough for it's intended purpose.

Carried like a dream, too. I wore mine in a High Noon Holster's Split Decision. It was so light, even fully loaded, that I often forgot that I had it with me.

Reassembly was a little tricky at first, but once I learned...piece of cake.

I bought an older version and had the assembly pin launch downrange last year. After contacting Kel Tec, they sent me a new pin. So far so good. I highly recommend the "eraser trigger stop" mod, and the Hogue Handall Jr., along with the finger rest floor plate. The trigger pull takes some getting used to, and regular practice is recommended. This is mine:

Trigger pull is meh, but can get used to it quickly. I liked mine, carried EXTREMELY well.

For fun, go get yourself some Smith model 59 mags. You can carry one as an extra and have a TON more ammo on hand than a factory mag. Only thing is: Due to the slide velocity (very fast), you will need to upgrade the factory Smith mag spring with a +10% power one from Wolff. The rounds can't come to bear quick enough with the factory Smith mag spring.
