Keltec P11: what should i be looking forward (or not) to?

[CajunBass]

The only complaint I had with mine was it does have a rather "snappy" recoil. Not bad for a box of ammo, but I once went to 70 rounds and my arm tingled for a day or two afterwards.

Other than that, great little gun.

And even to this post, the P11 still doesn't have a drop safety mechanism...It is a mechanical device. I have already said i want this mechanical device.

Why? Tons of us carry 1911s without such a device. It's perfectly safe. If you drop it, it's not going to fire (unless maybe you launch it into a wall at 120mph muzzle first or something). There's bigger and better things to worry about.

I said I want the P11. That is what I meant.

I also linked to you a test of the p11 being dropped from pocket height that caused the hammer to jar from your "overcoming the trigger spring" remark, those denting a primer. Thus leading to a fire if dropped.

First you said it wouldn't fire if dropped.

Wrong.

Now you have switched your argument that it is not needed because other guns don't have it.

First you said it wouldn't fire if dropped.

Wrong.

Well, it wasn't me who said that initially but I'll respond anyways. With all of those thousands upon thousands of guns (no idea how many hundreds of thousands total) out there that would fit in this scenario, where is just one documented example of just one pistol discharging from being dropped (say from under 10ft or so)? If you're that worried about something silly like this, I don't see how you could leave your house....after all, you could be struck by lightning or hit by a meteorite. Give me one proven, documented example and I'll be happy to stand corrected.

Can the 12 round mags be found anywhere other than KT?

Yes, you can use S&W, or you can buy keltec from most online distribiters, or you can find one of the other brands, don't know if Mecgar still makes them. It takes some time, and even if it's not drop safe, still a good gun. Very managable and easy to conceal.

I have the Wolff spring referred to on this site. I have only dropped it once from a height about 3feet on a hardwood floor and did not have a discharge, thankfully.

I've had my P-11 for 15 years now, only problem I've had with it was S&W 15rd mags (made it choke) factory mags 0 issues. Never dropped mine or 70 series 1911
