It's flat embarrassing. Let me know if you have ideas on this and WTF. I am just going to shoot the crap out of these little mofo's tomorrow and then if it's that bad they are getting a call-in to the company.
So....we got a couple Kel-tec Pf-9's in. One of our neighbors had one, had good things to say about it. Did all the intarweb researches and didn't see any thing too bad. We got around to "breaking them in" today and it was not pleasant.
When we picked them up our FFL guy who also runs around with a couple kel-tecs said that he had no problems using winchester target ammo and that the protective rounds really depend and just get something that works in the gun. He said he hadn't ever had to fluff n buff one.
We go out to burn these things in and it was a complete death sentence. I can't tell you all enough to make sure you train.....haha
So we get all loaded up, wife runs a mag through one of the guns no problem. I run a mag through one no problem. Wife goes to run another mag and it FTE on the first round. She can't clear it. She is like WTF looking at me. I go look at it and the frigging mag IS STUCK and cannot be removed. I am sitting here with live ammo trying to clear what is becoming a more and more dangerous situation. We gave up on that gun and set it safely aside.
I run another one through the other gun and no problems. She takes that gun and on the third shot jams. Cannot clear, cannot do anything but throw the damn gun and run away. Death sentence. I go to help her and the damn mag will NOT release from the jam.
I take both the jammed ass guns into the garage and had to use a screwdriver to pry the fukushima mags out and clear. One was a FTE the other was a fail to ramp. I am japanese style pissed at this point.
I am going out tomorrow to shoot the crap out of these guns and see what happens to me (they never failed once in my hands) and to see if I can figure out what kind of mods need to be made to make these things usable. It's bad enough if you get a fail but if you cannot drop and clear you are dead. It's absolutely unacceptable. Cannot clear without a fing tool and shop at your disposal.
So....I was thinking the wife was fat thumbing and was dropping the mag when she pulled the trigger, causing the fail. I didn't have any failure in my shooting. Or limp wristing, she was hitting low right consistently. These little guns are hard to shoot, but really?
A gun that fails and cannot be cleared, cannot be carried. I am going to post more after I get more bullet to fail to feed or maybe go down range.
Pissed.
