I'm glad there exists at least a few flawless Kel-Tecs and Kahrs out there. I figured someone had to get one.
I know people who own both brands who've had to make far too many excuses for their puking on the range. One guy's experience with a PF-9 would be comical were it not so sad. One memorable impression from that gun was that it was "warped" or something so badly that it wouldn't RTB.
Another pocket auto I saw was a Kahr PM-9 that FTEd and FTF on 3 of the rounds from its first magazine. Bad first impressions are lasting ones.
Snubbies are difficult to master, but they fire when called upon.
There are just too many variables facing a pocket auto for me to trust them. Ammo sensitivity, proper grip, must eject flawlessly, etc., that I'll put up with some extra width and a poor reload time for the rock solid reliability of the snubbie. There is just way more development time behind the wheelgun in this format.
I'd love to be able to trust something like a Kel-Tec PF-9, but from what I have seen, they have a lot of teething to do.
My M-38 and 638 are fully developed firearms.
