The result is that the grip of the PF-9 is an astonishing 36-percent slimmer than that of the original P-11 and measures just. The new PF-9 uses a single-stack magazine rather than a double-stack magazine. While the P-11 doesn't feel the least bit chubby, George Kelgren, Kel-Tec's owner and chief design engineer, knew that he could make a gun with slimmer and more readily concealable dimensions. Weighing just 20 ounces loaded, the gun was an immediate hit for those looking to pack as much capacity as possible in a lightweight package. The P-11's magazine had a capacity of 10 rounds-the largest allowable by law. The gun was created in response to the 1994 Crime Bill that, in addition to banning several semi-automatic "assault weapons," banned manufacture of magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. At the time, it was the smallest and lightest 9mm pistol ever made. The groundwork for the PF-9 was laid down back in 1995 when Kel-Tec introduced the P-11. 875 inches at its widest point, the pistol also features a double-action-only trigger. Weighing less than a pound loaded with eight rounds and measuring just. Kel-Tec has recently introduced its PF-9, which the company touts as the slimmest and lightest 9mm semi-auto handgun on the market. For undercover police work or even off-duty use, a small gun that can easily be concealed yet fires a reasonably powerful cartridge is essential.
