    Lowest recoil compact 9mm

    I agree that I can shoot my Kel-Tec P-11 100 rounds and not be tired but my .38 snubbie gets tiring as heck after 50 rounds of standard ammo. Keys

    P11 followed me home from the gunshow

    Owned my P-11 for nearly 4 years now. Nice weight and size for a 9mm. I can't stand the trigger setup but it serves me well anyway. For another Kel-Tec forum try http://www.ktrange.com Keys

    Scary story told by a CCL classmate: Houston, TX

    Considering that I was talking about 1981 and the Glock 17 was introduced in the early 80's I don't see a pattern at all. I'm sure the old lady is now 105 years old and packing a tupperware pistol, maybe even a Kel-Tec. My wife used to carry a LadySmith .357 but it was too heavy to carry all...

    Scary story told by a CCL classmate: Houston, TX

    Interesting story. Oddly enough, I too was carjacked in Houston, back in 1981. That incident is one of the main reasons I have a concealed carry permit. I was returning home from work and was surprised by a man with a .38 revolver who came up behind me from behind a tall hedge. Later that...

    For all you Kel-Tec fans...watch out for SuperFlyer

    I am an administrator at KTrange. I speak to the head gunsmith at Kel-Tec quite often and he has never once warned me in any way about any mods to any of the Kel-Tec pistol line. All Kel-Tec has done recently is enforce some warranty rules that have been abused by some people who have been...

    Thinking of getting a PPK/S

    I shoot my friend's Interarms PPK/S at least once a month. He has two. One belonged to his dad. I don't care much for the trigger. It's also danged heavy for it's size. No problems with accuracy once I got used to it. I know his have never had any problems. Overall, I really don't...

    Great report. The Bersa Thunder .380 has been on my shopping list for a long time. I might bump it up a couple in priority now. Regards, Keys :cool:

    Taming the Kel-Tec P-40

    keederdag, Thanks for your concern regarding flames, but I find that the P-40 has very little muzzle flash. I did experience some excessive flash with Win SXT 180 grain ammo, which told me that something about the round wasn't right for the short barrel length, and as I understand it was...

    Taming the Kel-Tec P-40

    enfield, Just wanted to know your intentions so I sent you the PM. Glad they were friendly. :) Now, let's have a range report from today: P-40 with Wolff 22 lb. recoil springs and Wolff mag springs. 2 mags 9+1 135 grain Cor Bon JHP: No malfunctions, medium felt recoil, not...

    Taming the Kel-Tec P-40

    It would be foolish to buy a gun based upon price. Size and weight were the deciding factors in buying my P-11 and P-40's. My P-11 loaded 10+1 is 22 ounces, and so is the P-40 loaded 9+1 (on the wife's fancy kitchen scale, and she caught me doing it :uhoh: ). I have proven the reliability...

    Taming the Kel-Tec P-40

    A note on Kel-Tec customer service. I just today received a replacement P-40 mag for an older one I sent them. KT part # P40-36. Turnaround time was six days. My P-40's are rocking along just fine, and I will be happy to discuss any technical issues with anyone wanting to get their...

    Pocket pistol time

    I've been carrying either a P-11 or a P-40 in a pocket holster for just about a year now. How can you beat 9mm or .40 S&W in such a small package? The Kel-Tec is so light that for most of the day I forget it's even in my pocket. Regards, Keys :cool:

    Taming the Kel-Tec P-40

    I own two Kel-Tec P-40's and am quite impressed with them. If you have one that you've given up on, try a few of these suggestions. 1) Don't use 180 grain ammo. My best ammo choices are 135 grain Hydrashok, 135 grain Cor Bon, and 155 grain Gold Dot. The Hydrashoks are the easiest to...

    Best gun for under $150

    I have two Bulgarian Makarovs that average out to less than $150. apiece. I don't even have to say "for the money" these are great guns. They are simply great guns period. I saw two others mentioned that I own - the Charter Arms Undercover .38 is a great pocket gun, but I paid $170. for...

    Gays and Jews question

    I posted here about my real world experiences working with Republicans of all faiths, minorities, and sexual orientations, but found it to be a waste of time so I'm editing it all. Apparently I am a very naive person who just doesn't understand the reasons for hatespeak against people like...

    Well- why not a Kel-Tec P11?

    HadEmAll, I can find two stories of Glocks that failed, or you name the 1911 that didn't work reliably out of the box (I love 1911's - just trying to be fair), or Berettas, or Smiths, but two stories doesn't make a track record. The return rate for Kel-Tecs is not out of the norm for any other...

    Well- why not a Kel-Tec P11?

    Hypnogator, Sorry to hear yours broke three times. That would make me a lot less confident in them too. You know, if you shoot the P-11 a lot, you could be hitting in the 10 ring a lot more than you might think. Add a trigger shoe, finger rest extension, and a Hogue Handall Jr. and it...
