Okay... got the PF9 to the range today. First, let me say that I know many say they have had problems, jams, etc... I guess I must be the luckiest guy on Earth. I have both the Kel-Tec P3AT and the PF9 now. BOTH worked flawless right out of the box brand new. No mods, no fluff and buff, nothing prior to using them. Loaded them up, pulled the trigger, and each time it went BANG! No jams, no problems. So with that being said I am quite pleased in that regard and am little unsure if others problems might be more shooting style than the gun?
The PF9 shoots reasonably well. I had no problem with trigger pull or control on the gun. Sure it has a little "kick" but I shoot with a strong grip and didn't think it was unreasonable at all. One handed was fine as well. Of course the finger grip extension helps and I recommend it regardless of your hand size.
I am treating this gun for what it is, a defense gun. Not a target or competition gun. It sends 9mm downrange and that's what I want. Accuracy was decent at 15 yards (that was as close a target as was available at our range). Center mass shots were not hard at this distance and I wasn't trying to aim for tight groups. I would imagine at 5-10 yards with appropriate training and practice it will be much more accurate and serve its purpose exactly as it was designed to do.
I put a number of rounds through it... some Winchester FMJ, some Remington FMJ, some Winchester SXZ, and Federal Hydra-Shok as that's all I could get my hands on. All fed fine for me and two others who shot it. One person shot the gun and somehow managed to get it not to load the next round in the magazine. Popped the mag, ammo was there, prior case ejected, chamber empty. It was not a jam. Simply the next round didn't feed into the chamber? However, they were taking slow deliberate pulls on the trigger more like a target pistol. I don't know if that contributed or not but that's all I could point to. I fired three more clips after that person with the same ammo and everything worked fine.
All in all it is a decent gun and I am looking forward to carrying for a while to see how it is in that regards.
