Keltec PF9

[1911master]

Thinking of adding a Keltec PF9 as a tackle box gun to take when I hit the ponds this spring. Give me your opinions.

Aside from crappy triggers and not much in the spare parts department, they are decent weapons. It wouldn’t be my first choice, but not my last either. I’ve never pushed it past 7 yards for accuracy, but it wasn’t too bad.

They work, but for me they're pretty uncomfortable to shoot. I think it's the shape of the grip. I prefer the P11 or the SCCY in the "tackle box" price range.

The PF-9 actually has a decent double-action trigger, due to the half-cock design of the hammer action.

The bad news, is that you can't pull the trigger twice on a misfire... you must pull the slide back far enough to "half-cock" it again.

The other bad news, is that the grip is narrow and it kicks like an angry mule.

The SCCY is much more comfortable to shoot, and holds more rounds. And the size difference isn't all that much.

Why not a full size gun like a Ruger Security (budget wise) or M&P etc. Or is it you have a "small tackle box"

Just curious why you don’t spend a just a few bucks more and get a Glock 43 or a Shield or an XDs or a Kahr and erase the questions you have about “will it work if I need it?” Are you just wanting a really cheap pistol a step up from a Lorcin or Jimenez or the like?

I was just thinking in the event it slipped into the water. With the points made I could just carry my CW9 or my Glock 48

Budget I'd suppose, or maybe it needs to double for a boat anchor.. A shield would be within budget, Walther, Ruger, maybe the new Mossberg..

I have the PF9 and the SCCY. For what you want I would go with the SCCY. The Ruger ec9 is tempting at around $220. I also have the Taurus PT111 (now G2C) and it is my favorite to shoot.

Dummy cord it to an old empty milk jug then.
