Give the gun some time to break in. Do not polish the feed ramp yet. It takes a 100 or so rounds down the pipe before it breaks in. Give it a few more range trips.
exactly. Get that baby nice and hot. Let that metal open up a bit. Should limber out. I had a pf9. Good pistol.
Crawl back in the door and trade it in on a LC9, take the hit. I have over 300 flawless rounds through mine.
Yes this is probably the issue. Clean it and then try the brass cased ammo.
YES! That steel ammo sucks. Break it in with good quality ammo then try your luck with the steel crap.
A failure to fire? Elaborate please. Did you pull the trigger and get nothing and no dimple on the primer, or was there a dimple on the primer, if the later one then I wouldn't claim it the fault of the pistol necessarily. As far as the FTEs, knowing how that platform can be, how much trigger time do you have on autoloaders? My first thought would be either new gun that needs to be oiled and broken in or that the shooter was limp wristing. Also, how many rounds did you put it down range? My guess, new gun that needs to be broken in, Kel tec has what a 200 round break in period? I wouldn't worry until you get a decent round count in it and if it is still choking then I would be worried.
As far as ammo for it, I would stick to brass cased and I am wanting to say they are tuned for 115gr or 124gr ammo, no +P in the gun.
