  • Wtf is up with the hands Lmfao

  • I dont get why everyone complains about it being "snappy" I have no issues with control or "snappiness" with my PF 9. Recently put 200 rds. through it during one range trip, no discomfort what so ever. Soo I guess what Im saying is......Dont Be A Pussy!!!! ;o)

    j/k

  • I love how you say its a gun you would want to carry but not want to use at the range, and you just pull it out and it goes boom. Probably want to practice with the gun you carry.

  • Sorry you have to deal with Commiefornia's laws. I use to live in the Bay Area...I moved to a FREE state and LOVE IT! Great video. Pretty hard to get a CCW in Cali. When I was there, you had to basically live out in the boonies. Small population of people and have a GOOD REASON for the Sheriff to grant it.

  • Christ, sounds like you went thru alot of time and money just for that pf9. Move away from Cali and enjoy firearms the way they were meant to be.

  • damn good vid,dude.You covered all the bases and you did it with knowledge and grace.I am gonna add you.Maybe you will have a vid on first strike situations or on best draw for this weapon speed-wise.Do you practice trying only for COM goals...or do you feel the gun is good enuf for placement>??Do you fire 2 taps by instinct with this or "spray and pray"at the paper,hide,and reload? Again,thx for the work,big guy.Your effort will save lives in the years to come..Kudos!! G

  • Great video. I have a PF9 also and it is my "EDC"

  • you mentioned you live in california?

    how did you obtain a CCW?

  • Nice video. Well thought out and informative. Thanks

  • @howardrmarsh1 i agree. great video, and a very informative/real perspective when using and having a CCW...

  • You live in cali? I feel for you my fellow enthusiast. Best wishes from Texas!

  • So which holster did you use?

  • If the grip extentions are printing you're doing it wrong. Carry at a higher cant or at a different body clock position. I don't print with my xdm in a max tuck with a fbi cant on 3 o'clock. 5'10" 150 lbs.

  • Thank you Sir

  • After shooting a bunch of rounds does one of your pins in the frame start working out?

  • A super-bright flashlight is the first option when your approached (at night) by a suspicious person who is not yet an obvious threat to you. Light him up and you can see whats in his hand, partially blind him, and just let him know you are prepared to engage him and your not just another easy mark. Also, you dont break any laws by pulling out a flashlight. Pulling a knife or a gun gets you into trouble so thats not an option.

  • @OneSecure couldnt agree more. i ALWAYS have a little penlight on me, in my car, and at home on my desk. at our local Walfare, you can pick up one (with batteries) for like $3. well worth spending the $10 to have a couple laying around and on person.

  • The PF-9 is a great carry piece, and has been my EDC weapon for more than a year now, replacing a very trusty Bersa Thunder .380. However, the PF-9 is not "second-strike" capable. That term refers to the ability to cycle the hammer and firing mechanism again in the event of a misfire. The hammer is reset by the action of the slide; if the round doesn't fire, the slide does not cycle and the mechanism is not reset. In the event of a misfire, one must manually rack the slide to fire the weapon.

  • hey man im also cross eye dominant, no im not cross eyed, just my left eye is dominant and i shoot right handed, I have had to adjust a little as my eye dominance changed in my teens. Not fun but with practice ive become a decent shot.

  • It still shocks me that people live in Nazi Cali. I have never looked back since I left.

  • check out fenix and 4sevens lights...very affordable and imo offer better preformance than the surefire lights...

  • Does guys at Calguns also say that owning 30 round mags isn't illegal. It's buying them, selling and transporting them.

  • excellant ccw gun

    

  • California Gun Laws are Unconstitutional. California is a Socialist State in which it's so called government does not trust and has a distain for it's law abiding citizenry.

  • @MrBigden37 Please learn what Socialism is. I agree that California's gun laws are unconstitutional, but "Socialism" is something it is not.

  • @bigstabby Perhaps not pure socialism, however, a government which distrusts it's law abiding citizens and places unconstitutional restrictions upon them is at least one aspect of your state and socialism. A government run by the government as such and not by the people. Of course, if the majority of Californians voted for the enactment of your repressive firearm restrictions then I guess you get what you ask for.

  • @MrBigden37 "Unconstitutional restrictions" have nothing to do with socialism. Socialism just an economic platform. The governmental platform, of which socialism is most associated with is Communism. Now if you said Commifornia, I'd be inclined to agree. Also, I'm not from California (thank fuck). All my family is though (sucks for them lol). I live in Kentucky/Tennesse and believe me, I agree with your disdain for Cali. They're not part of this country in my eyes, excluding many of it's people.

  • Regarding the sights, you might want to try applying fluorescent paint/nail polish over the default white paint. It really makes them easier to see in my opinion. I got the idea from the KTOG forums and picked up some bright yellow and orange nail polish (Sinful Colors, $1.99 per bottle at Walgreens) and it was a big improvement. I put yellow on the front sight since it stands out more, and orange on the rear sights.

  • Yeah dip-shit, were gonna get your guns serial # and go use it some how.. Oh and btw, I can go buy as many P.O.S pf9's as i want where i live.

  • @duncan32244 - The Kel-Tec has a break in period of several hundred rounds so I do not doubt you had a FTF right out of the box. Most Kel-Tec owners know about the "fluf & Buff" routine and perform this right off the bat. I have had 1 FTF in 400 rnds (which I believe I can attribute to a limp wrist) I carry this gun every day (so I do trust my life to it) It's not a range gun, nor fun to shoot. Do the F&B, break it in w/ several hundred rnds, carry it.

  • Roster? What kind of communist BS is that?

  • gun laws in cali...thats why i would never live in that screwed up state..here in tennessee i can buy whatever i want and how many i want and it usually takes about a 5 minute background check....god i love my state

  • @Mr1bigsexy same here in utah for easy buying. fuck california lawmaking morons. all these silly restrictions on law-abiding, responsible gun owners benefits NOBODY. Ain't gonna stop a thug from getting what he wants. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Utah CCP are recognized in 30 states, but NOT california cause of all their ridiculous bs laws.

  • @shootcentermass . Hell no. Read all the problems on thier products. I just brought a pf9 and the thing FTF right out the box. I called their customer service and I have to admit they were helpful but the young lady did admit that she gets a lot of service calls. Don't believe me just do a internet search. I really wanted this pistol to work out but I knew going in that the gun had man prior issues.  Good buying this gun

  • Just switched my grips to a black from gray but I have problens when I shoot my magazine ejects any ideas and sometimes doesn't eject a shell neither

  • very good review'

  • You covered a lot of areas, but I wondered is the pf9 second strike capable?

  • @smuger357 what do you mean by second strike capable? As a home defense option? Sure. Or target pistol? I wouldn't recommend it. The gun is too light and snappy to shoot more than 50 rounds at any one time.

  • @rasprotection He means if the firing pin strikes the cartridge (misfire), will another trigger pull strike that cartridge a second time (without racking the slide). BTW I've shot mine only 50 rounds with no misfire but it seems not to be able to have second strike capabilities.

  • @rasprotection I have learned what this means since you posted, yes the pistol is second strike capable... the hammer is thrown with every DAO pull of the trigger...

  • @rasprotection Correction: The PF9 does NOT have second-strike capability, as it's a sorta-kinda DAO. If it falls on a dud primer or you dry-fire on a snap cap, you must pull the slide back about 1/4" or so to reset the trigger bar. The Kel-Tec P11, however, DOES have second-strike and has a TRUE DAO trigger - no slide action necessary, just pull the trigger again. This makes the P11 a little nicer for practice with snap caps, but they're both good little pistols.

  • @rasprotection To clarify, the PF9 is actually NOT second strike capable. The hammer must be recocked if you have a FTF. Love mine, peace!

  • @yb2normal WRONG. The pf9 has a free floating hammer spring, and is never COCKED. You cannot "cock" the PF9 at all. Repeat YOU CAN NOT FULLY COCK THE PF9. It is DAO meaning pulling the trigger is the only way to reach a fully cocked position. What they meant by second strike capable has nothing to do with a Failure to Feed. Second strike capable means if you have a round that fails to fire you are able to pull the trigger again striking the primer a second time, Hence the term.

  • @JuniorInEville24 When I said the hammer must be recocked I really meant the slide must be racked in order to even be able to pull the trigger again. And I intended for FTF to imply "Failure To Fire" but realize FTF is short for Failure to Feed... which I did not mean to say. My main point was that the PF9 is NOT second strike capable.

  • @yb2normal Ahhhhh, ok that makes sense, and is correct as well. The PF9 is NOT second strike capable. The trigger bar does not fully reset until the slide is back. However this is not true for all the Kel Tec pistols. The P11 IS second strike capable which may be where the confusion came from. btw Love mine too. peace

  • @JuniorInEville24 That is great info on the P11... I think I'll need to give it a look!

  • @rasprotection I have a pf-9 new manufacture as of 2012. It is not second strike capable.

  • @smuger357 no it is not like the slim 709. if you have ever shot a slim, the double strike feature is just that, personally i do not like the second strike. hope this helps

  • @smuger357 - The Kel Tec PF-9 is not second strike capable. And smuger357 Second strike means if you pull the trigger and the gun does not go BOOM, you can just pull the trigger again without any other manipulation and the hammer/firing pin will strike a second time to attempt to fire the same round again.  The PF-9 you must rack the slide slightly to put the hammer back into it's reset posistion to try again. That's why the 9 has a lighter trigger then the P11, a true Double Action Only.

  • @smuger357 - The P-11 the Slide does not touch the hammer to re set it. A lot of people hate the long heavy trigger on the double action only P11 because of this. So when they designed the slim PF9 they made the trigger work like their small guns where the slide pushed the hammer to half cocked position to make the trigger a lot lighter. I prefer the long heavy trigger if I'm carrying with a round in the chamber, so the P-11 was my choice. I'm 290 pounds, the extra 1/8 inch no prob for me.

  • @smuger357 the slide needs to be racked again to fire, it's a DA only but does not have the second strike ability, need to tap rack if it doesn't go boom. but for a ccw gun i love mine though it feels cheap as hell it always go bang.

  • Comment removed

  • If you're in california, how the hell did you get a CCW/LTCH? As far as i know, the only way you can legally carry that is unloaded...

  • Yo good video. I'm from new jersey and I thought this was a hastle to but a hand gun.... But you can legally ccw and in nj if your not law enforcement it's forget about it...

  • great video, lots of good points!

  • Why do people stay in CA? crime, taxes, tree huggers, gangs, drugs, earthquakes, fires, bad gun laws. Gay rights wackos. No jobs, Just run away now.

  • dude if i lived in cali i would move. Liberal hippies plus no guns = bitch state. we should give cali to europe.

  • talk with your hands much? lol

  • @coburna5  lololololoollolol i know right!!!!!

  • man california sucks .

  • Got one and itz really great as a CCW or even other forms of self defense...

  • jus curious do u still have the grey frame?

  • @BDBakaJR nah, the grey frame was sold along with the pistol. Kel-tec actually calls it the "grip" because the serial number is attached to the internals of the gun. Go to the Kel tec web site and for 30 bucks you can buy a new grip... This is how I replaced mine to the od color.

  • @BDBakaJR

    sorry, it was sold along with the pistol...

  • hey if you want to ill trade you a flat bottom mag for one of your mags w/ the pinky extender, or if you just want to trade the little flat piece for the pinky extender im willing to do that as well if you want to pull one off. LMK

  • @VWDiMattia Actually Mattia, I sold the PF-9 about a month ago... Nothing wrong with it... I just decided to get something even more compact in the Kahr P380. Sorry, thanks for the offer.

  • California is so fucking gay.

  • excellent video, and a note for you Ras...

    I have never regretted getting rid of a handgun more than selling my PF9. My breakin period was terrible (12 malfunctions of 50), and I didn't use the gun again for 6 months. However, on a whim, I picked it back up, and using the same ammo, never had another malfunction in 1100 rounds of shooting.

    This gun earned my respect, and I dearly regret selling mine. I will be rebuying it, as it's earned the same love as any glock or xd I own. NEVER SELL THIS

  • @NinjaGirlRachel Thanks for the praises... do you also live the great Republic of CA? I actually did sell my PF-9 in order to feel less guilty for paying so much money for a Kahr P380 Blackened SS. I am sure you'd have my back with the Kel-tec if anything popped off.

  • @rasprotection you're very welcome! No, I live in the gun-crazed beloved Texas lol. Those Kahr P380's are magnificent little guys too, and so damned slim!!

    And you better believe I've got your back babe!! hahaha<3

  • @NinjaGirlRachel I'm sorry, but I see this a lot on message boards <3... what does it mean? Please enlighten me oh NinjaGirlRachel.

  • I understand the need of potection, but a country in which their citizens need to carry guns everyday is not a good country. In Europe nobody carry fireguns and nobody is worried about violence

  • @newhuskytwenty At least for me... the question is not good society/bad society, it is about personal liberty. I believe that everybody has the inherent right to protect themselves how they see fit. Gun Control in America has stripped people's right to self protection and stigmatized gun ownership simultaneously. I can't speak internationally, but nationally, crime has gone down in areas with "Shall issue" concealed carry laws.

  • @rasprotection In a country full of guns a citizen must have guns to be protected, Where it's hard to find a criminal with a firegun in his hands, that need almost dissapear. I live in the very North of Spain and also have a studio in the south of France, Basq coast. Nobody has seen a thief or murder with a firegun. ETA terrorism is a thrill only for politics a policemen

  • @newhuskytwenty Incorrect statement. There are plenty of people concerned about violence in Europe. Check your facts before you speak.

  • @newhuskytwenty I'm not sure where in Europe you live, but in the 7 countries I lived in Europe, violent crime was as prominent as anywhere in the US. That's fairy tale talk you're selling if you honestly believe what you wrote here.

  • @NinjaGirlRachel maybe, I believe you, have you lived in Paris, London and so on...? Try to live in a quiet village in the French Basq Coast or in a Spanish city as San Sebastian. Over here violence is a matter of newspapers. Nobody has guns except policemen and some -out of date- terrorists from ETA

  • @newhuskytwenty Guns don't have to be kept just for fear of violence by criminals. Natural disasters, biological warfare and other situations that create a world without law necessitate the need for self-protection; it doesn't matter where you live, situations like these don't know the difference between a rich or poor neighborhood. A man should protect whats his; I'm not into machismo BS but I am ready to defend my family, my girl, my dog, and my property whenever it becomes necessary.

  • @newhuskytwenty so now it's not Europe in general, you're saying it's quiet villages. Well, glad you specified that. For a second there, I could have sworn you tried to say that ALL OF EUROPE WAS UTOPIAN AND DEVOID OF VIOLENT CRIME lol.

    However, you did just mention London as being violent crime free. That's just stupidity. Since 2002, London saw more violent crimes than New York annually, and this rate has not so much as dwindled.

    (google it.)

    You have no clue what you're talking about.

  • @NinjaGirlRachel Just the opposite, I wrote or at least tried to explain in a foreign language that if you have lived in Paris or/and London, big cities and specifically big cities, crimes can be rather frequent, but only there.

  • @newhuskytwenty Crime is not that frequent in the U.S.--especially in the country. People carry guns here not because it is that likely that they will be attacked, robbed, etc.--but because, were something like that to happen, they'd be utterly screwed without a way to defend themselves. It's a "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" kind of thing. You're not necessarily pulling your gun out every day just because you carry it.

  • So many stupid laws. Yet the criminals always get around them.

  • @gumarro72 There are thousands of people in California who are otherwise law-abiding who carry a weapon to protect themselves and loved ones for no other reason than their local Sheriff or Chief does not follow the law himself.
