Hmm, all steel or mixed? If it keeps it up after another 100 rounds I would then get concerned. As far as the misfire, I wouldn't worry, likely a bad round.

I feed my Kel-Tec the cheapest crap I can find, and it worked flawlessly from day 1. I *did* have a Kel-Tec p3AT that I had to "break-in," though.

PF9s can benefit from a "fluff and buff" which means cycling the slide around 100 times or so to smooth things out a bit. Tula can be underpowered so I would stick with brass factory loads for the break-in period so you can reduce the number of variables should problems persist. If those problems do not resolve, Keltec has good CS and they will take care of you.

Check out KTOG.ORG. Great source of info for everything kel tec.

I suggest reading this thread from our reviews section.

do like everyone is saying and shoot the crap out of it. if you are still having problems, look up "fluff n buff" on either youtube or ktog. you should be fine after that. the only ammo i found that they do not like is the 147gr 9mm. they should eat up the regular 115gr stuff. don't get discouraged, this is just the nature of the beast when dealing with keltecs. they will work though.

My XDm 9 Compact 3.8 didn't like TULA, BUT the MP9c chews it up and spits it right out. I also had a PF9 and it took time before smoothing out.
