Well- why not a Kel-Tec P11?

pwrtool, my P32 is flawless. Since I added Bersa finger extentions to my mags, it's a dream to shoot. And, it's surprisingly accurate for an itty bitty pistol with a long trigger pull. Once one pulls the trigger (on all Kel-Tec pistols) with a smooth, even pull, instead of trying to stage it, it's great.

I happen to really like my P-11.. for that matter I really like my P-32.

I call the recoil with the P-11 as "snappy". It doesn't push like a full sized handgun, but kinda gives a sharp bark.

Mine is as reliable as a clock, but in the beginning, it wasn't so. I bought mine waaay back, and did mods to it, and the slide is upgraded to hard chrome.

I don't shoot a lot of rounds from it at once. I have other pistols that are a bit more comfortable to shoot. I use it pretty much as a carry gun that I practice with.
 
When the stars line up just right, I can keep a magazine full out of my P32 in the black of a 25-yard slowfire target at 15 yards. The long, smooth DA pull is why I like the little guy so much. Shoots a lot like a revolver. :cool:
 
I have been carrying and shooting a Kel Tec P-11 and a P-32 for quite a while. The P-11 is my main (daily) carry gun. In cases where I can not conceal the P-11, the P-32 slips into my Wild Bill's pocket holster and goes everywhere I do.

I have put 300+ rounds thru both guns with zero, zip, zilch nada, malfunctions!
I carry the P-11 in a Don Hume JIT SLIDE NO. 40FS. This is a first class holster for concealed carry and costs less than $20! This holster carries the P-11 high on the hip with only about 1 inch of the holster below the belt line. I have a large box full of "holsters" that seemed like a good idea when I bought them.
Save a lot of money and buy quality to begin with!

I used to carry only revolvers .38 and .357 because I didn't think semiautos were reliable enough. The Kel Tec P-11 was like shooting a skinny 11 shot revolver that I could reload real fast. As you probably guessed, I shot all my revolvers DAO, so the move to the DAO of the Kel Tec was a natural move for me. I find the Kel Tec pistols to have a better double action trigger on them than some of my revolvers (Rossi NOT my S&W).

The MAIN reason for carrying my Kel Tec's? I hit what I aim at!!
 
I think once you get a p-11 up and running the first time, their great guns. I purchased a p-40 almost two years ago(I knew this particular p-40 wasnt working), and shortly after that two friends of mine purchased p-11s. The two friends with p-11s have had flawless luck out of the box. My p-40 is going for his third trip back to the factory. Trip one to try to get the p-40 to actually work. Trip two to convert it to a 9mm p-11 and get night sights. That last trip the gun broke while shipping it back to me. I was talking to the gunsmith Rick last night, and I am shipping it back today. Rick told me he was tired of the drama of my pistol, and was going to give me a new frame and start from there. I also have a p-32 which has been flawless out of the box, with over 700-1000 rounds through it. So out of the four keltecs ive had experience with, three worked, one didnt, and the one I didnt was a known lemon when I got it. I really want this gun for a jogging pistol, but I might use it as a deep cover pistol while I save up for a kahr.
 
I liked my p-11 so much I bought another one!!!( I always wanted an excuse to make myself a double belt rig)...My p-32 was 100% reliable out of the box...I recommend kel-Tec's to anyone..

OHH and one more thing...you CAN use a p-11 in a pocket holster...I make them everyday...you just have to have a BIG pocket...OR have someone sew bigger pockets into your jeans...remember...we dress around the gun not the other way around. :D
