Gun Snob:<\/strong> Noun. 1. A person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur of guns and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding guns.<\/em><\/p>\n

You Can\u2019t Please Everyone \u2026<\/h2>\n

One of the few guarantees in this world is that, no matter how hard you try, you can\u2019t please everyone. However, it has been my experience that in situations where both sides are heavily entrenched in their opinions, they will at least agree that you<\/em> are the problem if you don\u2019t embrace either of their extremes. The PF-9<\/a> from Kel-Tec is a gun that clearly creates these sorts of situations. While I was testing this pistol, everyone I encountered fell into three camps: Those who simply hated the brand, those that felt the gun was such a strong value that perhaps it should replace precious metals as a form of physical currency, and those who had never formed an opinion of the pistol at all. I was a never able to find anyone that had experience with the gun, but was ambivalent about it.<\/p>\n

Compact, powerful, simple to use and affordable, the PF-9 has a lot going for it as a CCW gun.<\/p><\/div>\n

The PF-9 is undoubtedly a gun that has been engineered to be inexpensive. The engineers at Kel Tec have done an excellent job of taking as much cost as possible out of the manufacturing process, resulting in a gun that is somewhat less than aesthetically pleasing to some people. Some also claim that the gun is not durable or reliable because of these cost-cutting measures.<\/p>\n

One example of cost savings I saw was the plastic box that the gun is shipped in, which is filled with numerous plastic pegs. This allows one box to be used to hold multiple models, which reduces the costs of manufacturing and storing cases for each gun.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>

The traditional notch and post three-dot sights of the pistol proved to be very usable.<\/p><\/div>\n
