blksheep 466 Posted January 15, 2012 What about Kel-Tec? Who has any of thier handguns and what do they think of them. I was considering getting the PF-9 just to have. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted January 15, 2012 Kel Tec is usually regarded as a sub-par firearm, since they are made cheaply. From what I have read and people I have talked to, I think the PF-9 would make a great carry gun if you put 1-2k rounds of ammo through it without failure. Keltec customer service seems to be very good if you get a dud, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

civictuner04 6 Posted January 15, 2012 I have 700 rounds threw my pf9 I do carry it. I've never had a jam or misfire. It's fairly accurate for what it is 10yd or less. Full mag at slow pace all in head rapid string center mass no fliers I trust it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that Kel Tec is a very serviceable pistol. I certainly meets the price point for an economical defense gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted January 15, 2012 I think Keltec may be the most innovative gun maker out there now, and they always price their products for the average buyer. I have liked every gun of theirs I tried. All funtioned without problems. My biggest gripe is how long their products take to get to market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blksheep 466 Posted January 15, 2012 I had a SUB 2000 a few years back before they became soo popular and sold it. Man now I am regretting that move. Have considered getting another one, but good luck finding them. I had one more permit left and was looking at the PF-9 or another Glock. I just can't help it.

willsj 1 Posted February 2, 2012 I think I'm going to buy a PF-9 next week. Seems like the perfect gun for pocket carry. Reviews seem pretty good too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted February 2, 2012 Well, I may be guilty of being a pistol snob in this case. Wait a minute, wait a minute here - you're a Glock guy and you think that YOU'RE a pistol snob You need to get out more. Oh, wait - it was KenW we were supposed to gang-up on. Nevermind.

I think that crown goes to Taurus, since their guns are actually AVAILABLE. You can say your putting out a KSG or the 308 bull-pup thingy or the PMR 30 but where they? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can say your putting out a KSG or the 308 bull-pup thingy or the PMR 30 but where they? Taurus gets the crown for what? Innovation? I hope I'm misunderstanding you, because aside from the Judge, there is NOTHING innovative about Taurus guns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um, the 22lr and 22 mag revolver that easy to change. The semi auto pistol carbine. The Rossi (owned by Taurus) ranch hand and judge carbine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted February 6, 2012 Not to mention they just put out a 9mm and 40S&W snubby revolver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean the one they announced at 2011 SHOT and no one ever heard anything about again? The Rossi (owned by Taurus) ranch hand and judge carbine.

Caine 147 Posted February 6, 2012 Not to mention they just put out a 9mm and 40S&W snubby revolver. Not familiar with those. Are they available for purchase? If the 9mm uses moon clips, then FAIL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted February 6, 2012 http://www.taurususa...eadcrumbseries= Interesting. Time to do some research. ETA: FAIL - it uses moon clips. S&W needs to re-release the 547. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted February 6, 2012 The Charter Arms versions doesn't use moon clips, if you really need to have a stupid 9mm revolver! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caine 147 Posted February 6, 2012 The Charter Arms versions doesn't use moon clips, if you really need to have a stupid 9mm revolver! As far as I know, the 9mm version has never been released. Rumors say sometime in 2012, but considering they were originally announced in 2009 (if I remember correctly), I'm not overly optimistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
