Kel-tec PF-9 vs. Snubbie .38 vs. Ruger LCP

[MagnumDweeb]

Um athletic build can denote a wide variety of builds. Do you have a swimmers build, jogges build, all around soccer and basketball recreational player build, serious weightlifter build, powerlifter build. Also how tall are you

I'm a powerlifter build (42" chest, 26" arms [bicep and tricep], tree trunk legs[have to wear 38" jeans for my legs to fit without looking strange in the pants], and a thirty waist with freakishly large abs [gravity crunches and overweight cable pulldown crunches]. I pocket carry a Rossi snub .357 in 38" jeans with an IWB holster for my Ruger Redhawk .44 4". All depends on how you dress, if you are okay getting a 'pocket holster' or getting a thundercarry holster, works buy wearing between shorts and underwear but doesn't allow for quick draw.

I have a Airweight .38 S&W snubbie and a Keltec P-32. I shoot the snubbie better than any pistol I own. But I don't feel safe carrying 5 rounds. I am much safer with the P-32's 8 rounds + 10 round mag in the other pocket.



I am very interested in the PF-9, but I would be afraid it is so light that it would be impossible to be reliable.

I keep a PF-9 in an Uncle Mikes Pocket Holster in my front right pocket and almost never notice it. It literally doesn't feel much different to me than putting my wallet in my front pocket.

As far as issues? Haven't had them. I've got about 750 rounds through it without a single hicup. And Kel-Tecs customer service (from my experience) is top notch.
