I was thinking about buying a kel-tec p11. Do u think that is a good buy?

A very good buy for the money. Light high capacity and a good warranty. They have VERY long heavy trigger, and I would try it out if you can before buying.

Love mine, I was fortunate enough to get a nice trigger mod from the KTOG site before the guy went up in flames. Originally it was an adjustable trigger which worked well then he came up with new lighter hammer springs which I have in there now and it's sweet and smooth.

This was the adjustable trigger

and the results: and that's shooting as fast as I can at 7 yards.

ETA:Other than the nasty trigger on my P-11, I think they're great guns. If you can, try before you buy.

I'd pass on the P-11 if I were you, ruttinbuck. I bought one years ago and found it to be less durable and reliable than it should be.

Last time i checked, there are a few for sale in the classified section. Mabey you can meet up with a member who is selling one, and get to try it, before you buy it.

Yea, that's one thing I don't understand. If Kahr and Para Ordinance can make such great double actions, why do other companies have such trouble? Maybe they are afraid of getting sued?

Have one. Like it. Carry it when deep conceal is needed. Otherwise it stands guard in my "money" safe at home.

"Sure, I'll open that safe and give you my money......... hey, look what I found!"

Both myself, and my brother carry p-11s. Mine is a little older than his, but I only had one problem with it, the first time I shot it (bought it used) the extractor broke in half.
I called kel tec up and they sent me everything I needed, plus a new spring and guide rod, completely free. I installed the extractor and I've never had a problem since.
The gun eats everything I've feed it and it pretty accurate considering price and that trigger. I don't mind the trigger as much as I used to, but shooting more than 100 rounds at a time makes for a sore trigger finger.
Are you looking to buy new, or used?
