![]() ![]() After making sure it wasn't a squib load and that the barrel was clear, more rounds were fired. Shooting at a target 3.5' off the ground from a distance of approximately 15 yards, we weren't even on paper (how's that for an ego booster? ). This part was a bit surprising and took a few shots to figure out. We suspected that the first FTE was caused by " limp wristing" the pistol (likely due to focusing on sight issues, see below) and the second malfunction happened while deliberately limp wristing it to confirm our suspicions. Of the shots fired during our range outing, the mechanical operation of the P-11 was fine with the exception of two failure to eject (FTE) malfunctions. Don't forget that you can also leave reviews of Kel-Tecs or any other firearms in the reviews section.Īfter unboxing and thoroughly cleaning it, we got the new pistol out to our test area and put around 120 rounds downrange. ![]() If you have experience with Kel-Tec pistols feel free to weigh in in this thread with what you think of them, how you have used them, any modifications you may have made and any other type of review. When it's all over, we'll also post an article on the GunLink Blog about the process and the results. Think of this thread as a glorified, interactive review of the pistol combined with a how-to guide and reviews of accessories and upgrades. In this thread, we're going to check out the pistol, see if we encounter any of the issues and optimize it for carry. ![]() After debating the purchase for at least a year and trying to choose between their two popular compact 9mm models, the GunLink crew picked up a brand new Kel-Tec P-11 – the fatter double-stack big brother of the single-stack PF-9. Some of these gripes include being uncomfortable to shoot, not being built to last, having a break-in period and FTE issues. ![]() However, along with these large numbers there are also a number of common complaints about the pistols. A Kel-Tec representative couldn't give us exact numbers but said that most of their pistol models are "pushing or over a million already." Not bad for a relatively young company that started manufacturing firearms in 1995. Their USA-made pistols are available in a variety of calibers, each coming with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty. According to ATF reports, Kel-Tec has produced an average of around 110,000 pistols per year for the past five years year (130,000 in 2009 alone) placing them solidly among the top manufacturers. Kel-Tec pistols are wildly popular for concealed carry and personal/home defense. Find the P11 review thread in the Firearms Review section here ![]()
