I read THR these days more than my other favorite "Drudge Report" when I'm online. I read all the reports Pro and Con on different guns. There are times I believe that credit should be given where credit is due.
I have several guns ranging from historical western guns for my hobby, and guns for hunting and for self defense when I'm out and about. When possible I like to carry my Glock 22 in town, but summer is here in Kentucky and the humidity has returned. My go to gun for those days is my KelTec PF-9, because it fits in my pocket holster and is 9mm.
I am a strong believer to shoot-shoot-shoot what you carry and I have put several hundred rounds through it since I bought it last summer. Being a retired LE, I practice reloads and possible misfire drills.
Two weeks ago, I began to notice that, unless my little finger was under the magazine, at times the mag would drop down during firing, giving me a Failure to feed. Of course I wouldn't know that until I pulled the trigger again and there wasn't a round chambered. A quick slap on the bottom, rack the slide and continue the firing would fix the problem, but it was disconcerting.
I emailed KelTec last Friday asking them if they have had any complaints about this problem. They emailed me back almost immediatly and said I may have worn the mag catch and I could send it in but it would take about 8 weeks to return it, or if I felt confident enough, they could send me one with instalation instructions.
I asked them to mail me one and I would pay for the part. Today, Thursday I received a new catch and spring at no cost. I could not be happier with their attention to my problem. I know many might say it should never have happened in the first place, but I've been hard on this pistol, more than most people probably would.
My wife is handicapped now and with the meth heads moving out here in the country, I intend for whatever I carry to be depended on, not just a belt accessory.
Just giving praise where I think it deserves to go.
