“That said, for practicality, cost, etc. I think one of the little kel-tek 9mms might be a good choice.”
I bought a brand new Kel-tec PF9. The third round went ‘click’ , fourth round went ‘click’, next couple went bang, but I can’t trust it. Tomorrow a Para Ordnance 1911 .45 will take its place.
Dang! Just realized I posted to a two year old thread. I hate when that happens! (And it does happen.)
