thinking of going with the Kel Tec P-11

[hotti]

Pocket guns belong in pocket holster. you can have a REAL gun in any other sort of rig, basically. If you need more than 6-7 rds, without time (and cover) for a reload, you need a lot more than ANY handgun, much less a pocket gun. So all the double stack mag is, really, is a bigger bulge in your pocket. The CM9 Kahr is the better gun than the PF-9, but the Twisted Industries .22 unit is for the KT, not the Kahr. I'm still not sure about my choice of the Kt for the 9mm. That pinned on lower receiver and extention spring for a mainspring don't thrill me any.

I have a P11, but as hotti says, if you need more than 6-7 rounds, you probably need more than a conceal carry gun. If I was buying now, I'd pick the PF-9 (which didn't yet exist when I got my P11.) But I'm used to my P11, and have multiple holsters and other accessories for it, so I'm sticking with it.

P-11 is a great gun. Very reliable.

I found the trigger pull to be a little long and heavy for my taste, but certainly gives it 2 points for safety.

Mag issue: it CAN accept the S&W 59 series mags, but some don't work well with them. Mine was very unreliable with them. The 12-rounders were a bit iffy as well. I'd stick to factory 10-rd mags for carry.

I haven't owned or used one but I've heard some good things, along with some bad too... but that's with almost anything.

Any thoughts on this item for first ccw?

Had one... Not a fan.
Every-time I shot it pinched the tip of my finger...Could not stand to run but a clip through her before my finger hurt to bad..
I have average size hands..

I added the trigger shoe and it did not help...

With that said I never had a FTF issue with the pistol.

It left my home within a month of purchase...That says allot as I"m 57 and had guns since a teenager...I've only sold three guns!
