Default KEL-TEC

Ok I'm tired of KEL-TEC making crappy guns, I bought a "USED" KEL-TEC PF9 9mm, it's a single shot jammer, every one knows KEL-TEC has a lifetime warranty, so i called them & they told me I have to have a receipt & be the original !! I told him, That it looks like the mag release isn't locking the mag in place, he said send the gun in & $65 to pay for the fix.
I've bought 4 kel-tec guns & only one has been good, The two SUB-2000 i bought were junk, both of those guns blew up in my son's & my hands, the only kel-tec that hasn't crapped out is my KSG 12 gauge, but it's hard to screw up a pump action shotgun. My buddy bought a new kel-tec 380 & it was a single shot 380. N E V E R again will i buy a KEL-TEC product !!!

Gunman, kel-tec has NEVER been worth a ****. In fact, saying that kel-tec is a POS is actually degrading to the turd. The turd ranks higher........

But now kel-tec will only honor their lifetime warranty if you're the original owner with a receipt, and we all know that the kel-tec is going to break or jam

My cousin fixed the kel-tec PF9, i had to buy the part from kel-tec, the mag release was made out of plastic & it worn out, the new mag release is made of metal, hopefully the jamming will be cure now.

My PMR30 works fine. I even use the 30gt vmax in it. On it, loading the mag is a pain in the butt. However, loading it properly is the key to reliability. Put 3 in, smack on the bottom of your shoe and repeat... My 7 year old doesn't have a problem with limp wristing.

Other guns you don't need to put 3 rounds & smack the bottom to get it to function

You are correct, if you are loading a PMR 30 mag there is a chance you are planning on shooting one. You didn't opt to shoot "other guns".... Just shoot your 22mag glock with a 30rnd mag...

It works great if you play by the rules. I can't say anything for their other products. I do know there are many happy and disappointed owners no matter what you buy.

I hate glock by the way..

While i'm not a Glock fan boy, glock seem to go bang when you pull the trigger without jamming, something that seem rare with a kel-tec, also you don't hear people bragging about the kel-tec accuracy !! Last thing i want to say about kel-tec is there's no pride in ownership.
