I know I am gonna hear it for this question but what does everyone think of this gun?? It goes for about $250 new and they had reviews on there web site but it was all good. I want to hear the bad along with the good.

Specialized handgun. Designed as a defense gun, pure and simple. Fairly stiff and long DAO trigger. Not something you will take out and plink with.
It was my primary carry gun for about five years, was reliable and very light and slim. Rated for +p ammunition. I still carry mine sometimes, and have complete confidence in it.

Great little pocket size pistol. Reliable and light weight. Reasonably priced. Don't even consider the .40 caliber version. Way too much slide velocity for the pistol design.

I sure like mine. Never had a problem with it.

A great concealable pistol.
I have one .
The long trigger pull is a drawback to pin point accurey ,but it's not a long range gun.
I carryed my P-11 long before I had my CCW permit.
I use Rem 124 gr +p Goldensaber ammo
I use the pocket clip
Even works perfictly with pocket lint , last year I had to use it on a dog .

The bad thing about this gun is you will need to do some range time to get used to the trigger pull. But 9mm ball ammo is cheap .

One thing , S&W brand ( not most after market) staggered mag's are designed to work in it .
I have used several 15 shot S&W mag's for extended range work.

hay guys it's the S&W 59 and 5900 type magazines that fit the kel-tec p11. i use the 10, 15,17 and the 30 or 32 round mags. you should see what that little gun looks like with that 32 rounder hanging out the bottom.

My wife got me one of the early ones, and I kept my .38 airweight. I've been told you can get an improved trigger and I just might try that someday, trouble is I spend a lot of time in PA and more than 6 rounds isn't allowed there.

ok.. I just looked up PA state CCW laws.. nothing in PA law limits the amount of rounds you can have in a clip. Just an FYI for everyone in PA with a CCW permit. Now for people out of state that got a CCW to carry in PA... I'm not sure of that, but I wouldn't see why they would limit you.

As for the Kel-Tec P11.. My buddy has one and likes it. Mostly because it is small and can just put it in his pocket instead of carrying it around in a holster.
