Well, yessterday the wife took me on a little cruise down to the gun range. I wanted to try the last KEL-TEC 9mm Luger pistol out one more time. If it hung up or misfired I would be getting rid of the critter in a heart beat. ;)
Well, I stared out firing a full mag of 7 shots in about 5 seconds using Blazer 9mm Luger ammo in 115 FMJ. It went through the first mag with flying colors. Then we got to the 4th magazine full and on the second shot, I had a failure to eject an empty shell. Ummmmmmmm not again I told myself.
However, the wife reminded me of what the manual says about NOT letting the trigger come all the way forward when firing the little pocket pistol. This will cause a JAM session to happen.
YES, this jam was do to operator error!!! So I slowed down the pace and proceeded to put another 100 rds through the little pistol with NO PROBLEMS.:cool:
I was shooting at 6 and 12 feet for the most part, drawing the pistol fast out of my right front pocket and double tapping two targets 4 feet apart. The accuracy was very good with this little pistol. I managed to keep all shots within the inner circle of a 9 inch pie plate. Now that means a 7 inch circle folks!
I then dropped back to 21 ft and fired 7 shots at he pie plate, hitting it 5 times and missing with 2 shots by one to two inches. This was not a slow fire but more in the area of 7 shots in 5 seconds. We went out another 10 ft and I shot 3 times at the target hitting it twice and mising once to the left by 1.5 inches. I'll stick to things up close and personal with this little fire cracker of a pistol, I see a lot better at 6 to 15 ft range anyway.
So I guess I'll keep this little pistol for those days it reaches 99 degrees and I must be out and about with my shorts on sometime next summer perhaps.
