Kel-Tec PF-9: "Daily Carry Handgun" Pt 1 by Nutnfancy

PART 1 of 2
The Kel-Tec PF-9 is a great alternative to the Kahr PM series of polymer framed pistols. It costs less than half the price and yet offers excellent accuracy, reliability, firepower, lightweight, and outstanding carry comfort. And it some ways, as discussed in the video, it even beats the Kahr PM series (PF-9: thinner, longer sight radius, 1 extra round, longer grip but still ultra concealable). Against the Kahr CW series, it compares in value but weighs a substantial 3 ounces less. As shown in my companion shooting video, the PF-9 is a good shooter too once you learn the trigger and get accustomed to the somewhat snappy recoil. It can readily serve as a concealed carry option, officers backup gun, or as a possible all-around home defense pistol as well (a lighter weight, more concealable gun like the PF-9 could prove to be more versatile and more used by the homeowner in the long run). Initial production versions of the Kel-Tec PF-9 were fraught with reliability and quality problems and some may mistakenly think these issues persist. They dont. Those have all been fixed and current iterations are providing stellar service with their users (reference ktog.org for specific serial number issues if purchasing a used PF-9). For most users, the PF-9 will last your lifetime as well. Overall, it is a high value gun that is backed up with typically great Kel-Tec customer service. /////////////Nutnfancy Initial Likeability Scale: 9 of 10

thumbs up if you think this guy is the 'BOSS'

Bought my PF9 on your recommendation and love it! Inspired by your video's, I made a point to carry every day since my 21st birthday. Some of your philosophy videos really hit home and made me realize how important it is for me to be prepared and carry every day, not only for myself, but also for others. Thank you for all of the knowledge, tips, and tricks you have imparted on all of your viewers. More importantly, keep up the good work!

@streetpunk99 not everybody carries the same bullet load so that will effect how much the gun weights overall so for a reviewer its better to give a base ine weight that will not change.

I finally got my Kel Tec PF-9. A long time a coming. Between getting my pistol permit (which took 6 months), having to spend money on Christmas, getting the money (from winning my Fantasy Football league), and having to wait for it to ship (no one had one so I bought it on Gun Broker). I can't seem to put it down. Now I just have to get to the range. Thanks Nutn for the reviews on this and the suggestion!!

[streetpunk99]

dumb question, why do people care about how much an empty gun weighs....i understand what grain you shoot will make a slight diff...but im not concerned with what it weighs after i have to shoot it, only when its loaded when im carrying it.

[streetpunk99]

uggh, hating the face i bought a g32 45 g.a.p......figured it would be smalle enough.....soooo uncomfortable. wish i had one of these.

@bluzboi1 Good for you! If interested in the PF9, I've had the most luck with pancake holsters as far as comfort goes. Currently rocking a MK tactical holster and loving it.

@robertmpierce1 Great to hear! I turn 20 in April...and I have also been inspired to carry the day I turn 21!

Love all your vids but why would the weight of the gun with a empty mag be more important if you carry with the mag full. A GLOCK 17 may weigh less then a 1911 but when you weigh in the 17+1 rounds vs 7 or 8+1 the weight difference is a little bit less. Keep makin' the great vids.

Great review... You gained a Sub!

"if i had a black circle that would have tightened up a little"- c'mon man, those arent bad groupings, and its called a sharpie hahah
