    The Kahrs are probably quite a bit heavier than the KelTec, so recoil should be less of an issue. They are also more of a conventional striker fired design, so the trigger pull should be lighter. I haven't had a lot of chance to handle one, so I can't speak to things like pull quality and reset.

    So, are you keeping the Kel tec then? I had a chance to shoot a Kel tec 380 a few years ago, but didn't, so I don't know what a pocket gun feels like. Is it less comfortable than shooting say a light weight 38 special revolver?

    Yeah, gonna keep it as a CCW piece. If I need to use it, I'm not going to be worried about recoil or trigger pull. Recoil is sharper than my J frame w/+p, but the Keltec is a LOT lighter.

    You can send it back to kel tec and they will change the springs for you and will have about half the pressure. Only had to pay for the shipping for the work done. If you get a chance to try the pf-9 all the diffence in the world, same kick but the trigger is great for a doa.

    I have a PF9, an although the recoil is brutal, it does the trick, and has respectable capacity (7+1) and the trigger is FAR better than the Taurus .45 I just bought as a CCW gun. That damn Kel Tec is so light I always forget i'm carrying it. I swear, sometimes it feels like a cell phone in my pocket.

    I had a P-11 a few years back, when they had issues (which Kel-Tec has since corrected) and I think they're great guns..
    I spent my Obama Stimulus money on a GUN!

    The other thing I like about the P11 is that you can find P40 conversion kits...

    Kel-tec quit making P40s because of issues related to limp-wristing (on such a small platform), and that it's possible to put in a S&W 59 mag and get 15+1 rounds in something so small...

    guess I'm a glutten for recoil, I want to try a P40... I don't have any .40 S&W guns yet..
