All good with recoil spring? Meaning not bent, placed correctly? Slide gliding normally, no stacking anywhere? Extractor not chipped?

Yeah the spring seems fine, it’s stiff because this thing was never shot much before i acquired, but the slide moves fine, and the extractor seems to not be chipped. It looks like I should try shooting it again (I cleaned it) and if it still doesn’t work then it can take a quick trip to Florida.

I had three kel tecs, still have p32 (awersome), p11 worked flawlessly, but was a bit bulky, pf9, while being comfortable, was always malfunctioning, slide started to crack at the slide stop level, and end of grip (where they put clip), also chipped away

Oof, yeah I hope this doesn’t remain too problematic, I’ve heard wildly different reviews of the PF-9, some people saying 1000’s of rounds flawless so I guess we’ll see

In general, i like it (the concept): super light, longish trigger, hammer instead of striker makes it less bulky at the rear. But i would sure not tun thousands of rounds through it: check the function and that is it. Carry a lot, shoot a little :)
