Which will never be an option for me. Not saying it's not a good or reliable gun, just that I don't like them. Anyway, the Kel-tec P11 has definitely developed a positive reputation and worth what I paid for it. And while the PF-9 seemed really decent, I was willing to give up a little on the trigger pull and slight thickness, to get a TRUE double action.

I'll probably stick with round magazines that sit flush. But for those who didn't know, it's nice to have additional magazine options for the P This was one other thing the PF-9 didn't have going for it. So, I think this was a good solution. A gun that can fit in my jeans pocket or jacket. Good quality. American Made with an excellent warranty if needed.

Hi-Cap magazines for those who are interested in that. July 9, , PM KyJim.

The ish control layout is a huge plus for this guy I went for it and haven't looked back. Reliable, accurate, and fun to shoot. The P11 is now my sons who has always enjoyed it as his hands are much bigger. The AMT has been retired and might just get sold off. Bottom line is that the P11 is a fine inexpensive CCW.
