Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Keltec P11

just handled one of these today-nice little carry gun but the firing mechanism seemed a bit odd? and the trigger pull was looooooooooong...is this normal or was I doing something wrong?

The long pull is their safety mechanism, takes some getting used to but is controllable for me anyway.

Ditto that.

I received a P11 from a very good friend, and at first, I hated it. Honestly, I thought the trigger was the worst I'd ever experienced.

However, they do need to be broken in. Once broken in, the trigger pull is LONG, and a bit heavy, but not bad, and smooth.

It's a carry gun; you will not shoot "respectable" groups on the range with it. It's not designed for that.

What it will do, is earn a place in your daily wardrobe. It's plenty small enough to carry 24/7, good defensive power, plenty accurate enough, and absolutely dead-nuts reliable. Mine feeds, fires relatively accurately, and ejects EVERYTHING!

Try the newer PF-9 and you may change your mind about the P11. It's a single stack mag and in my opinion is a real improvement over the P11. The trigger pull is shorter and more like the P3AT 380. Talk to a dealer and see if you can get him to find you one. Most already have waiting lists for them.
