Tweetnice bro. i have the kel tec p3at .380 super compact. i love it. light and comfortable. the pf9 is bigger but still for its size its very thin and all the reviews i read are great.
go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TweetI've noticed, lately, that I've been wanting to make another purchase. It's a simple solution though. I just haven't had the money. Problem solved. But...ya know...it just isn't that easy. I want to get something. And that something is in the hand-gun category. I've narrowed it down that much.lol... I'd really like to get another P95. Or maybe try the P345 on for size.
I've even been thinking about trying out a super thin, light, & concealable 9mm. Something like Kel-Tec's PF-9.??? idk...I should've took my behind to the gun-show.
Whatever it is, it will be well under the $500 mark.

TweetI had the KelTec P32. The .32 is what the P3AT, your gun, is based off of. They're almost identical in every way, except caliber, of course. And the .380 doesn't have last-rd lock-back. Which I'm sure you've noticed. They are great little pistols. I loved my P32. I was useing it as a DCC, and it wouldn't function dependably after a week or so in the summer heat & body heat, (dry). I didn't want to have to break it down and lube it every day, so I used it for trade value towards my current carry piece. I should've kept it just to shoot, and have. I really liked that gun. I tested the .32 in Gold Dot HPs, and it surprised me! That round performed better than I would've ever imagined it would. That was Gold Dot too though. That's one of the better SD rounds on the shelf, imo.
All-in-all. I had gotten to a point where I wanted more power, and as much capacity as possible in my DCC. So, I had to get up off the .32. Don't get me wrong. The .32 could save your life. I'll say 100% of the time in a standard, sub-11ft SD scenario. And with a well trained operator behind the .32. Because one must be capable to empty the gun very quickly into the assailant, with each round placed effectively.
And with that being the extent of the tiny pocket-pistols. As far as SD is concerned. I really found myself wanting more. I felt the need to reach out further with complete confidence. And I wanted a good bit more energy, punch, delivered with each round.
I still wish I had that .32 to plink with. Even though I could only hit decent with it out to 15ft. It was fun to shoot. That's the reason I'm thinking of going for the PF9. Get to shoot 9mm while still being in the pocket pistol category. 9mm saves $.
I wonder if the PF9 has last round slide-lock.
TweetRuger just came out with the LC-9. Saw it in a magazine. Might be worth researching. I haven't seen one in person yet.
They call you paranoid until the worst happens, and in the aftermath they will call you a hero.
Tweetoh yeah!!! Ruger must've read my mind. That's exactly where I was itching! And it's a Ruger too! I'm partial to the Ruger brand.
I dig the hell out of the LC9! Thank you rc10! That's the 1st I've heard of it. sweet!!! only .9" thin! 9mm. 7+1 capacity...real adjustable 3-dot sights...what more could you ask for in a pocket pistol?..awesome! I gotta have 1.
