I was informed my PF-9 was manufactured in 9-2010. Thinking this was a low serial number and probably an early production gun, I contacted Kel-Tec. Kel Tec P11 Serial Numbers I noticed the serial number was RRA-00.BTW, your's is a later model. Give them your serial number & they will tell you when it was made & what the original configuration was. Im not too familiar with kel-tec in general but im SURE there is a way to run the serial number to see the date of manufacture google might be your friend here.Kel-Tec CNC Industries INC. It has been manufactured by Kel-Tec CNC Industries of Cocoa. The Kel-Tec P-11 is a compact, semi-automatic, short-recoil operated pistol chambered in 9 mm Luger. Kel-Tec made a modifications (recently) to the metal.The Kel-Tec SUB-2000 has eight. The hardened steel ejector is internal and also holds the engraved serial number. To check if your firearm would need to be sent in for barrel replacement enter your serial number/production date for P11 Discussion in P-11 & P-40 started by BKMeyers, Dec 19, 2010. This recall only affects a portion of SUB-2000s that were manufactured in 2017.I was originally looking at the hard chrome model, but ultimately decided that for a concealment piece, it would be better to have something that isn't at all reflective just in case it would ever make an unintentional appearance. I just placed my order through Bud's Gun Shop for a parkerized P11. I just couldn't wait any longer, haha.
I guessing this section of the board isn't frequented by too many of our members, but I have another question. In this day and age, I would have never believed that I could have bought an American manufactured handgun with a lifetime warranty for less than $300 without seeing it with my own eyes.I know Kel Tec isn't a brand that you would want to throw around at a gun club, but I'm willing to take a gamble on it for that kind of money. After the FFL transfer fee, it looks like this little guy is going to be mine for less than $285. Shooting one is not much fun. Any bulletsput through the P11 is going to cause you some discomfort. Oh well, the P11 isn't intended to be a range gun anyway. This leads me to believe that the snappier nature of 115 grain ammo probably isn't the wisest choice.Should this be an indication that 147 is automatically the 'go to' weight or does 124 provide a happy medium of speed and manageable recoil? Like most others, I don't associate 9mm with hard recoil, but if everything I've read is true, I might be in for a surprise. I don't like the way it shoots out of it. I carry Hornady critical defense in mine, so 115.I startedwith it carrying the 124gr federal. If you learn to shoot pretty well it will hurt the BG alot more if that time ever comes. To answer your original question.I wouid never loose a gun but if I lost a P11 it would probably be because I gave it away.Like I said good luck with your new weapon and no matter how much it hurts to shoot it. Otherwise i would not have bought 2 m&p's and (again) another glock. You shouldn't dry fire it, and as it was my carry gun that i was using for IDPA, i could not avoid dryfiring on the range. The ONLY reason i have branched out to a couple other 9mms from my P-11 is that. Onenote add ons for macHad an early production model and wasn't impressed.First time at the range the rear sight AND disassembly pin blew off the gun. Don't think I would buy another P11. Doesnt kick as much as my PA-63 (fixed barrel, 9mm Mak, aluminum frame).THAT drew blood first session. But that is life with a small light gun. Did a nice fluff & buff, put on trigger 'cover', hogue handa-all jr and pinky extension. But now i have no need (having a couple alternates).I still wont sell mine though. Both guns turned out to be real gems! Never a problem with either. Eventually bought both the P32 and P3AT. Ended up trying Keltecs again after a few years. ![]() ![]() All they did was put my old serial number on it, and I had a brand new gun. Long story short, when I got the gun back it was a brand new gun. Would not do anything, so another call to Kel-Tec they were very nice and apologized for what had happened. Kel Tec P11 Series 12 RoundThe gun has no safteys to dick around with, other then the snug trigger pull. The trigger is tight with 8.4 lbs (my gun) of pull, about what I want with a piped carry gun. My g/f shoots it with no problem other then the trigger pull and little fingers, and the stiff slide spring. It does not kick bad at all, Less then an XDm 40 cal by far. I just bought my kel tec p11 blued tonight for 290 with case and an extra S/W 59 series 12 round mag.This is what I can say after a few rounds. Not to bad for such a short barrel.All and all I would rate it up around a 9.5 for the ccw type gun above the pf9 (7rounds?) You are not going to notice a 1/4 inch, The weight yeah but more kill ability trumps it in my book. When I benched It I came up with about a 2.25 inch 4 shot group. The sights are cheap, but do there job.Under 7 yards it is a point and shoot gun, it points and shoots naturally with all rounds in the heart lung area. The acuracy is better then expected, I can hit vitals at 20 yards easily, I had to learn to stage the trigger a little but now it's easily done. I haven't had and hiccups or malfunctions out of it and I started out with 115 fmj tulammo which is as cheap as it gets. It was not desinged to be pushed to charge the weapon.It's light 14-15 oz's 22oz's with a loaded 12 rd mag installed But I notice it when it is in my waistband. Kel Tec has one of the best customer services that you could ask for. I'm happy with it and am glad I didn't listen to all the hype of the internet communtiy because 90% of it is B/S, 5% cant shoot it right and the other 5% have legitimate issues with the weapon. (just reinstall stock parts if it needs to be sent in) and they cant tell.I will find the link if requested. For the price it cannot be beat, and if trigger pull is an issue, you can get a 4 or 6.5 lb spring kit for the trigger, but it voids the warranty. A glock 26 hasn't got anything on this little beast. The trigger sucks (a piece of electrical wiring 'shrink wrap' made mine more comfortable), and the recoil bites my hand, but I like it for what it is: a small, simple, effective, and powerful handgun with a ten round magazine that has gone bang every time for me. Dropped in the lake while fishing) or stolen P11 only after checking out some of the alternatives. I would replace a lost (eg. I like the no external safety design - the trigger pull is soooo.Long that you really have to want to consciously fire the pistol, but my wife has weakened fingers and is unable to pull the trigger. It has worked flawlessly for the first >150 rounds fired.It is a nasty little gun, not very much fun to shoot, but it is more accurate than I am at ten yards and packs a good wallop. I hope this helps a little.I just put 50 rounds through my P11 the other day. And the P11 is that weapon. But if needed in a dangerous situation I hope to only need a couple accurate rounds, from a weapon I can trust. Now after 100 or so rounds your hand feels it, or at least mine does. I take it to the range every other month and put between 50 to 100 rounds through it. I bought it as a conceal carry weapon not a range gun, so the recoil felt is not an issue.It is accurate has worked perfectly, it is very concealable, and it does come with a great warranty. Yes I would I bought my P11 in August of 2011 and it has worked flawlessly. And the P11 is that weapon.X2 my post would be almost identical to his. But if needed in a dangerous situation I hope to only need a couple accurate rounds, from a weapon I can trust. Now after 100 or so rounds your hand feels it, or at least mine does. I take it to the range every other month and put between 50 to 100 rounds through it. It is accurate has worked perfectly, it is very concealable, and it does come with a great warranty.
