How about some good news

[RonRC]

I just returned from tryng out my new Kel-Tec P3AT (380). After firing this 'point and shoot' type gun, I was very relieved to break out the MK 9.

Again, after 150 rounds, I have nothing but positive comments to make about the MK 9. Again, I had no failures of any kind. I've probably put the last 500 rounds through the MK 9 without a hiccup. It's been perfect.

I prefer the feel and weight of the MK 9 to the PM 9 or even P9. It's simply a quality gun.

If you read between the lines, you'll see that I very pleased.

What did you think of the KT? Thinking about as my next gun. Any problems? 2nd gen?

Hope the admins don't mind me talking about another brand pistol.:)

Either the Kel-Tec is or I am useless beyond 5 yards - probably both. There really are no sights, just a little bump on the front of the slide. With my 58 year old eyes, I couldn't see the bump. So, it is more of a point and shoot rather than aim. Then, again, the gun is made for close-up action. The trigger pull is llllooooonnnngggg. I'll have to practice some more to get consistant. I couldn't hit diddly at 7 years. I was able to put all 6 shots through the head of a silouette at 5 yards. Just to feel better, I shot 50 rounds with my Springfield XD 40 and that confirmed that I wasn't the sole problem.

The was 1 failure to eject, 1 failure to feed, and 3 misfires out of 100 rounds. I can accept the FTE and FTF, but I am a little concerned about the misfires. I reloaded the misfires and 2 out of 3 fired the second time. It is hard to say whether the misfires are gun or ammo related. I've never used Sellier & Bellot before this, so I can't comment on the quality of the ammo. I believe it is a French firm that makes its ammo in the Czech Republic.
