I just purchased myself a Kel-Tec PF‑9. I’m replacing a Bersa Thunder .380 as a C.C. weapon, and I have been salivating over this gun since I saw the below review by Nutnfancy on YouTube. Nutnfancy has a great review process that will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of just about any weapon you are looking to procure. Highly recommend his YouTube Channel.This was a hard gun to find. First, they are very popular. Second, they are very inexpensive, by comparison to their cousins of the same size and caliber. Third, it is the right weight, size, and thickness for concealed carry, and it seems to be for a lot of others as well. Four, it helps me to standardize on ammunition, as now I have two 9mm Luger guns. I will probably sell my Bersa Thunder so that I do not have an “extra” gun laying around, or maybe I should keep it as an emergency backup…
See the comprehensive reviews below to learn more about this popular gun for concealed carry and self defense.
I’ll post more on it after I take it to the range myself. My review won’t be quite as comprehensive as Nutnfancy’s but I’ll let you know what I personally think of it. Until then…

Kel-Tec PF‑9: Shooting Impressions
I picked up a Kel-Tec P3AT. Light, accurage enough, and very small. Kel-Tec has some good products.
This is my first Kel-Tec, and am happy with the purchase. It is a little shorter and much thinner than my Bersa, and seems comfortable to carry so far.
Got a P‑11 several years ago and I’m always thinking about trading it for the PF‑9. Still, 11 rounds is nice to have and its not too big either.
Good point… I looked at the P‑11. Just didn’t appeal to me and the weight is a consideration to me as well…
P‑11 is definitely a bulkier package, but at the time it was a good choice and not too expensive. I’d say the pf‑9 would be the way to go today though.
