Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended trigger technique for the Kel-Tec PF-9?

Nutnfancy suggests a 'staging' technique for the PF-9's DAO trigger. This involves pulling the first two-thirds of the trigger quickly and then concentrating on the final third to maintain accuracy without disturbing the sight picture, managing its long and stiff pull effectively.

How does the Kel-Tec PF-9 compare in price and features to the Kahr PM9?

The Kel-Tec PF-9 is significantly more affordable, often costing about half as much as the Kahr PM9. It's also lighter (15 oz) and thinner, making it an excellent value for concealed carry, despite the PM9 having a slightly better trigger feel.

What are key indicators of a reliable Kel-Tec PF-9 model?

According to Nutnfancy, a key indicator of a newer, reliable Kel-Tec PF-9 is a metal magazine release button, replacing the earlier plastic version. This signifies that common production issues have been addressed by the manufacturer.

What are the advantages of the Kel-Tec PF-9's DAO trigger for concealed carry?

The PF-9's Double Action Only (DAO) trigger is long and stiff, which Nutnfancy argues acts as an inherent safety feature. This design eliminates the need for external safety levers, reducing snag points and contributing to a smoother draw from concealment.
