they are cheap guns. the quality is questionable. its like a yugo (taurus) vs corolla (glock).

 

So what car would you compare the Kel-Tec pf9 to? I have put 400-500 rounds thru my Glock in the past year and have not had a single jam or issue. Super reliable and easy to clean

 

..

Is the 'Corolla' superior in this analogy?.. Comparing something to a Corolla is a sure way to convince someone not to buy it lol.

Kel-Tec certainly doesn't make the highest quality guns.. they place emphasis on light weight and keeping them fairy inexpensive.. they do not feel rock solid, and KT seems to work the small kinks out as production moves along. I've put over 500 rounds or various ammo through my PF-9, which has all the upgrades, without a single hitch. Lifetime warranty, and excellent customer service.. so no worries. I'm 100% confident carrying it around. Kia? Maybe not put together as well as a corolla, but reliable nonetheless.

SkyRollin, I imagine they will require you to either A) take a pistol permit class, or B) shoot along with someone who has their pistol permit (at my range, you need it for at least a year before you can bring a newbie in with you) before they let you snap off some rounds.

And bitch, you better believe that 3/4" makes a big diff.. mikey, you may have 1.25" on me upright.. but not lying down.

 

Excellent gun.. I like the entire line a lot. I would consider it to be a slightly better gun than a 45 ACP XD or Glock in terms of quality, reliability, accuracy, and recoil. But when viewing it as a tool, I don't know if it's $200 better than either. If you can, buy all three But I'd probably spend that $200 on training, ammo, and mags.

 

taurus = yugo
glock = civic (a million mods for it)
sprinfield xd = corolla
hk = bmw
sig = mercedes
kimber = porsche
sw = chevy
kt = saab

 

+1 on take a local handgun course. There are some basics you just have to get right from the start to be as safe as possible.

I'm a fan of double-action revolvers for first guns (357 Mag with 4" barrel is extremely versatile) but a proper auto (pistol) can be almost as reliable and something like a Glock 17 with high-grade ammo is the very definition of reliable. Am NOT a fan of Colt 1911 action for a first handgun. I think they take more training.

 

I just completed the online practice exam, since a real exam is required to apply for your firearms acquisition license. I've got to talk to my father first though to get a list of what firearms he owns that I would potentially need to take possession of at some point. I'm quite certain I need the Restricted version.

I'll tell you one of the super sweet weapons he has, this awesome crossbow that he and I used to shoot when I was younger. It's a badass device though I think I'd rather have a gun than this thing if I were in a gunfight.

 

I got a spoiler on mine for shooting in windy conditions.
