Well as much as I like my P-32 and the design of the P-11 I am giving up on the P-11. I continue to have FTE with the P-11. Today I had 2 FTE and the side locked open prematurely once in 50 rounds. I'm willing to accept that it may be me and not the gun (but I doubt it) as Kel-Tec couldn't...

I got rid of my Taurus 94 a while back and miss having a 22 plinker. I've decided to try one of the full size 22 semi's (either a Ruger or a Buckmark). I am more concerned with reliability than slight differences in accuracy. I've done some searching on this forum and for most it seems to be...

As I've mentioned a number of times, I have been having occassional Failures to Eject with my new P-11. I had 2 FTE in 300 rounds. Well this weekend a couple of friends and I took our Kel-Tec's to the range for some target practice. I put another 50 rounds of Remington UMC through the P-11...

I got around to taking my Kel-Tec P-11 back to the shop the other day. I wanted to have it sent back to Kel-Tec for service. I previously used 400 grit sandpaper on the feedramp and have not had any failures to feed in over 300 rounds. After polishing the ramp I put 100 rounds of Remington...

Yesterday may family and I spent the day hiking in one of the local state parks. I wanted to take my pistol along, but I was unable to find much information concerning this so I left it behind. While there I got the opportunity to ask a Ranger about carrying a handgun in the State Parks. He...

I took my new P-11 out again today and put another 100 rounds of Remington UMC through it. Previously I had some failures to feed, but after polishing the feedramp I was able to put 100 rounds throught the gun with no problems. Today I had no failures to feed, but on about the 73rd round I had...

I went into one of the local shops to pick up a spare magazine. While there I asked if they had any of the 10 round ones. I was told that they were on back order, but also that Kel-Tec had told them that they were on hold because of reliability problems.

I put 50 rounds of Remington UMC Ball ammo through my new P-32 this morning. I loaded 7 rounds into the magazine, cycled the slide and fired all 7 rounds without a problem. After the magazine was empty the slide locked open. I proceeded to load another 7 rounds into the magazine and load the...

After considering all of the responses I received about the Guardian versus the P-32, I finally decided on the Kel-Tec. I was able to compare both of these pistols side by side. I must admit that the Guardian looks to be very well made and appeals a bit more to my eye. I also prefer the...

I've been considering the Guardian as my next handgun purchase. I really like the size and they appear well made. I did a search but didn't find much concerning this pistol. I would be very interested in hearing all the pros and cons of this gun. Are they reliable? Do they fire all types of...

After going to the range I disassembled my Jetfire in order to give it a good cleaning. I noticed that there is a small but distinct groove forming on the frame. The groove is on the left side of the frame (slide removed) just in front and slightly above the safety lever. There is a pin...

When cleaning how often do most of you actually disassemble your jetfires and bobcats? I've cleaned mine three times, but have not broken it down so far. I've only been shooting full metal jacket and its seems to be staying pretty clean. So far my little Jetfire has been great. It's been...

I may regret it, but I just purchased a new stainless jetfire. I previously owned the Bobcat, but I got rid of it because I couldn't get a clip full of ammo through the gun without a jam. I've been looking for pocket gun and really like the looks and feel of the Beretta. After doing a search...

What are people paying for a NIB Glock 26 or MK9? I'm considering getting rid of the PT-111 (after repair) and going for a Glock or a Kahr.

My experience with handguns is fairly limited. I've owned about 8 total. I've never had to send one in for repairs until I purchased my PT-111. This gun has about 1000 rounds through it. Prior to last week it had functioned perfectly with all types of ammo. Recently it started failing to...

Is it legal to carry concealed on NPS land. I'm assuming it's probably not legal, but would appreciate any information concerning this topic.

What is "excessive cylinder end shake"? I know that this is defined as forward to aft movement of the cylinder. What I would like to know is do all revolvers develop some end shake after regular use? Will revolver cylinders have some movement after use or is any amount of visible movement of...

Ejected cartridges fired in my PT-111 have off center hits on the primers. I've read that this might be a problem. I've also recently noticed that along with the off center hit there is a little grove branching off from the primer dent. The gun has never failed to fire, but I am wondering if...

I recently picked up a new SS M85. I've put a couple of boxes of ammo through this revolver and noticed a cylinder peculiarity. Occasionally when loading the five rounds into the cylinder, a bullet will slightly hang up in the cylinder instead of falling all of the way in. Initially I thought...
