Kel-Tec P11
I BOUGHT ANOTHER P11 AND NOTICED ONE THING THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST ONE I HAVE. SLIDE STOP LEVER IS LIKE IMPOSSIBLE TO PRESS TO RELEASE SLIDE SO I HAVE TO PULL IT BACK TO DISENGAGE IT AND LET GO.
THIS WAS DEBATED ON ANOTHER TOPIC AND I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR AGAIN THAT I PRACTICE BOTH METHODS (USING LEVER OR PULLING BACK SLIDE TO RELEASE SLIDE), SO I DON'T WANT TO START ANOTHER DEBATE HERE.
DID ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS? I ALREADY CALLED KEL-TEC AND CLIFF (THEIR GUNSMITH?) TOLD ME THAT LEVER IS A "STOP" AND NOT A "RELEASE", SO I NEED TO PULL BACK SLIDE TO RELEASE IT????? (THEIR MANUAL SAYS YOU CAN DO BOTH) HE TOLD ME THAT AFTER AWHILE, ONCE IT'S A LITTLE MORE WORN, I WOULD BE ABLE TO PRESS LEVER TO RELEASE. BECAUSE I PRACTICE BOTH METHODS, IT DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT THE RANGE, HOWEVER, IF I AM IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT EXTRA SPLIT SECOND PULLING SLIDE BACK WHEN I RELOAD ANOTHER MAG. MY FIRST ONE WAS USED SO I CAN'T TELL IF IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN IT WAS NEW. IS SOMEONE BLOWING SMOKE HERE?? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEND IT BACK BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY. WHAT'S THE QUICKEST FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANKS, GD

I have a Kel-Tec P11 that I bought used for a good price but I can't hit anything with it. I am getting groups of about two [2] feet at twenty-five yards from the bench. Is this normal? I am not the best pistol shot but I can get six [6] inch group with my Ruger 45. I have added a trigger shoe, P40 recoil springs, finger extension mag floorplate and a trigger stop but still can't hit anything with it. Any help? 0 -
Fred you didn't buy a target pistol, you bought a self defense hand gun. 25 yards? Try 7 yards point and shoot at a sillhouette target if you know how (no insult intentended) and tell me how it does. Mine stays inside the small sillhouette 7 ring double tapping.

Thats what my brother-in-law told me also. I have seen other compact gun that shoot much better. I just wondered if my gun was the same as all P11's. 0 -
Well Fred, if you want a accurate subcompact, buy a Glock 36. It's very accurate considering it's size and caliber.
If you are unhappy with your P-11, let me know and I'll buy it off you. I would buy a G36, but only have enough to cover a P-11.

Nik I think I'll keep the Kel-Tec and play with it some more. Maybe try someother ammo. Anyone have any good loads for the Kel-Tec P 11? I have been shooting Winchester 9mm 115gr. ball. [cheap from Wallyworld] Also I hate Glocks. 0 -
Dry fire it over and over .If it bothers you to do this get some snap caps.I find mine very accurate but it takes a lot of getting used to.When you find yourself shooting it well you will notice a large improvement in shooting any other handguns you might own.

Ditto what ATF said but DO use the snap caps. Ruger makes a rough tough and dependable weapon but has never been noted for a real good trigger except when you compare it to the little P-11. This long, heavy trigger pull takes a LOT of practice IMHO.

Thanks ATF and Punchie. Yes I have been dry-fireing the Kel-Tec a lot. I had not fired a double-action pistol much before this one, it takes getting used to. I do need to get some snapcaps for the gun. 0
