It's been cold in North Central Texas for a couple of months and I've been wearing two shirts or maybe a light jacket over a shirt. This has made me feel more comfortable wearing my G43 OWB. I started wondering if I might be able to carry even a double-stack 9mm comfortably and unobtrusively.
Of course, as soon as I started thinking that, I ran across a used Kel-Tec P11 for $165. The trigger was not beautiful and it had mild surface rust, but I figured if I didn't end up liking it, I could prettily easily get all or most of my money back out of it. (It helps that the owner of the LGS has become a friend.)
I field-stripped and cleaned it. It was filthy. But the bore is nice and the frame rails are barely worn. I am guessing someone left it in their car or shed, but didn't shoot it much.
It came with a flush magazine and the extended one shown in the picture. If the trigger doesn't annoy me too much, and it if is reliable after a few hundred rounds, I may end up keeping it and working it into my carry rotations. (It holds 11 rounds as opposed to my G43's six or seven.)
Has anyone else owned one of these? Was it good, bad, or indifferent? Do you have a favorite holster for it? How is its accuracy for you?
I will be off work for Spring Break the week after next and will take it to the range then.
