I just bought a PF 9 week before last. I put 100 rounds of FMJ Blazer Brass, plus an assortment of Federal Hydrashoks that were more than a few years, and some MagTech 115grJHP +p, through it. All told almost two hundred rounds. So far No Problems at all.
Recoil is brisk. But not unmanageable. Trigger is very smooth at about five LBS. And with a little practice I was able to stage the trigger towards the end of my shoot. Accuracy was better then I thought, and got better when I was able to stage the trigger.
I have been carrying it in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster.
I have altered the holster already, in that I added a flat piece of nylon covered plastic at the bottom, and outside edge of the holster basically made a flap to cover the outline of the pistol. The grip does print in jeans pocket. DeSantis Superfly pocket holster does the same thing, but I already had the Nemesis.
This is a work gun for me. I have to have my shirt tucked in. I have been carrying a SP101 in a Nemesis, and will continue to do so, except when it's HOT. I didn't mind the weight of the SP101, unless it's hot and humid, as it gets that way here in Ohio summers. Then it gets uncomfortable. Especially when you've been on your feet and walking all day in a work shop with no air. With the PF 9 at almost half the weight, and a spare mag and fifteen rounds, I don't feel under gunned.
