I have the PF9 and mine has been flawless but it does have a nice recoil to it and no external safety so rule #4 finger off the trigger until ready to fire is paramount.
I had a friend who had one that the magazine would not stay inserted no matter what and he sold it to me for $100. I researched and found out that the early PF9’s had a plastic magazine catch. I called the company and they sent me a metal one for free. I popped it in and it has ran flawlessly since.
I have carried a P32 with a hard chrome slide for 18 yrs and after an initial fluff and buff it has been 100% reliable. Some people have got lemons with Keltec’s but so far mine have been fine.
I have a P11. For me the “trick” is to add the extended magazine plate with the little hook on it. It ads just enough length to the grip to prevent limp wrist.

That’s what I found as well. My P11 doesn’t have the fancy touches of some other brands. Things like internal machining marks and lack of spit and polish. However after the fluff and buff, I trust it with my life.
I guess some people should just pay the extra 30% or more and get a work of art.
*nod* The larger frames are way more forgiving.
I tried the hook attachment briefly, but my hand was too big to comfortably fit within the remaining space. It subsequently made quick pulls more complicated, so I went without it.
